RCC & RA Working Together for Water Safety
Reston Community Center and Reston Association are teaming up to improve our community's safety around its many pools. Drowning remains the second leading cause of injury-related death among children ages 1 to 14 according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). For every child who dies from drowning, four more receive medical treatment for submersion-related injuries. Together, RA and RCC will be offering DEAP, a "land-based" Drowning Education Awareness Program.
DEAP Programs are FREE for Reston Residents and Employees of Reston Businesses Other FREE programs include: Lifeguard Training, and Water Safety
Instructor Training.
