"A wealth of knowledge about the design and operation of beaches presented with a good blend of common knowledge sense and humor. *[Safe Swimming] Beaches* is a must for Aquatic Administrators."	"This is a course with vital information for anyone with the responsibility of a beach. The risk management information alone is of value, but there is so much more. After the *[Safe Swimming] Beaches* course, I was able to clearly look at problems of water quality testing and signage issues that had previously been a mystery to me."
