youth drowned this summer.
Their major complaint is that
black pool managers do not
have Water Safety Instructor
(WSI) certificates. Therefore;
they are ill equipped to save a
child's life or administer
emergency treatment.
Nick Jamison, said in a
telephone interview that pool
managers are not required to
have WSI certificates. He said
some WSI would not make
good managers. "The pool
