Emergency Equipment/AED

The pool's AED is in an alarmed box at the entrance to the girls locker room. An AED does not require training, it will walk the user through steps to aid someone in cardiac arrest (and it won't shock someone not in need of one). There is additional emergency equipment stationed around our pool and in our "guard shack" (the room next to the water fountain). Please do not let kids play with these items.
