Brochure on Safety Turtle for YMCA's and Public Pools

"I wanted to pass along this news story for you and your staff concerning the Turtle. It has been slightly just over a year since we installed the Turtle in all of our branches. Yesterday the Turtle was involved in a pool emergency at our Downtown YMCA location and really improved the response time for the victim. It allowed our guard to be a first responder in a lone guard situation and give him the ability to give 100% of his attention to the victim and have the comfort that help was on the way. It helped us save a life yesterday. Thanks for all of your support along the way with getting the Turtle installed properly in our YMCAs!", Linda Butkus, Vice President Operations/COO, YMCA of Greater Omaha

"The front desk staff needs to respond to the pool area and see what needs to happen next. The whistles can't always be heard through the walls of the facility. On the first day the alarm was installed, a little girl at the YMCA taking swim lessons was rescued after falling off the steps into the water while her instructor worked with another child. I think what it's done is made the rest of the staff here more aware that we do make rescues. Now everyone hears it." Robert Martin, Aquatics Director, Simi Valley YMCA

"I love having the Turtle on deck. We have also written our Turtle into our missing child procedure for our facility. Since the font desk has the ability to set off the alarm they are to disconnect the piece attached to the small receiver and alert the aquatics staff and the rest of the building.", Paige Flanagan, Aquatics Director, Sherwood Regional Family YMCA

"Thank you so much for your quick response. We are very pleased with the system and have forwarded the information for the Turtle onto many YMCAs and other organizations. Your service related to this call is another reason we like the system so much. Thanks for the information.", Margo Byrne, Executive Director, Ventura Family YMCA

"Hello Aquatics Professionals: After hearing from some of you regarding the “Turtle System” and EAP systems, I would like to come to your facilities and assist you in running the Turtle system to its full potential.", Jason Stolz, Sr. Aquatics Director, Peninsula Family YMCA San Diego County

"I just had a conversation regarding your product with a couple of big associations. In my new role as Aquatic/Medical Risk Specialist for the country I have a lot of questions regarding your product. So thank you for the update and please keep them coming. Great product!", Terry Trammell, Aquatic/Medical Risk Specialist, The Redwoods Group

"Safety Turtle addresses a real concern that I have had with my patients who participate in aquatic therapy,“ said Paul Hougan, founder and president of Therapywerks, Minneapolis. ”I have been particularly impressed with how patients have adopted the practice of using the Safety Turtle alarm. While the safety profile of our patients has been greatly improved with the installation of the Safety Turtle alarm, our patients hardly notice the alarm components and the alarm in no way affects their therapy experience."
