NJ Swim Safety Alliance: Connecticut & New York Open for Indoor Swim Instruction While NJ Stays Closed

Common Sense for the Common Good?

Two years ago (in Governor Murphy’s administration) we saw 30 people in New Jersey drown between early May and the middle of June.

Both Connecticut and New York have opened indoor pools for swim instruction while Governor Murphy keeps all these pools closed.These are the professional organizations that teach water safety and swim instruction in indoor pools that have EXCEPTIONAL VENTILATION, and CHLORINATED WATER that the CDC states provides no transmission of COIVD-19? https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/index.html

FACT: Currently, SPECIAL NEEDS, (including paraplegic) children are being denied the indoor, warm water therapy they need because the Governor’s Order 153 does not permit instruction in indoor pools.

FACT: A typical indoor swim school might have 28000 Cubic Square Feet of Air and a 12.5 Ton HVAC Unit that can circulate as much as 5000 square feet per minute or the entire room conservatively eight times per hour. (It is necessary to preserve the building given the humidity warm water produces.) What other essential service can match that superb ventilation?

FACT: Instructors are teaching around the country wearing Face Shields to protect students and instructors. NJ Instructors could do the same.

FACT: Indoor pools designated for teaching heat the water to as much as 90 Degrees. This makes teaching much more successful than outdoor pools often that ae often 75-80 degrees in June.

FACT: Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in children under the age of five, in the USA. Nearly ten people drown every day in the USA.
