Welcome

Founded by Dr. Tom Griffiths, Aquatic Safety Research Group provides innovative water safety and risk management programs and services to a wide range of clients througout the United States and internationally.

We offer aquatic services to evaluate areas of risk at your pool or beach; educational sessions to cover the issues and concerns regarding pool management, aquatic risk management, and lifeguarding; further lectures and presentations on key aquatic topics; and publications, books, and DVDs to add to expound on these key topics.

We also provide references to aquatic products and links to help you manage the risks at your pool or beach as well as to find out more about organizations that provide water activities and certifications.

Shallow Water Blackout


Learn about Shallow Water Blackout.

Shallow Water Blackout Prevention Non-Profit Organization is committed to educating about Shallow Water Blackout prevention and the dangers of breath holding.

Note & Floatâ„¢

The free National Note & Float program helps prevent disability and drowning at aquatic facilities nationwide.

The program identifies swimmers and non-swimmers with a designated wristband (note) and requires non-swimmers wear lifejackets (float).

Everyone should learn swim - but before they can, float 'em.

We want to hear your Note & Float stories. If you use Note & Float, please share your photos and stories!
