NORTHWEST SIDE- Free pool safety classes!

It's a trend more apartment complexes are following to prevent drowning.

Prime Group apartments are holding pool safety classes at all six of their Tucson properties, "Just the basic tips so everyone knows what to do in situations and how to react," says Park Place employee Cathy Smith. "Some people don't know all the safety, they haven't been through any kind of course"

The Tucson Fire Department reports seven near drowning so far this year.

"You got to keep your eye on them at all times," says resident Scott Romano. "Step away for a second and they're in the water. It's a tragedy if something does happen, lets make sure it doesn't."

Park Place staff urge other apartments to put on their own pool safety class.
