Child Drowning Prevention Council

The CDPC is a group of waterpark industry volunteers dedicated to the overall improvement of the health and safety of our youngest patrons who visit WWA member facilities. This volunteer group has worked hard to develop or gather resources, tools and suggestions for WWA members (owners, operators and developers) to enhance the guest/facility relationship by sharing real-world examples in the areas of communication, policies, procedures, lifeguarding and swim lessons.  We have created this Tools page so that you can learn from the valuable insights of your peers to improve your insurability, safety, operations, training, legal defenses and litigation management. Please visit each section below to review the many ideas that are available to you.  This is a work-in-progress, so please bookmark us and stop back often.  The CDPC believes that our industry must work together to enhance the safety and well-being of all our guests and we invite you to be a part of this effort by sharing your success stories as well.

Members Q&A

The member Q&A section is designed for park operators to post questions on a variety of operational topics and then watch as the answers pour in. Our panel of experienced waterpark operators will apply their vast knowledge and years of experience to your question and provide their thoughts and insights back to you. Both the question and answer will then be posted for others to review.
