THE 3-MINUTE INTERVIEW: Kathleen Reilly

Reilly is pool safety spokeswoman for the Bethesda-based Consumer Product Safety Commission. How large of a problem is pool safety?

I think it’s a very significant issue. Nearly 300 children under the age of 5 drown every year in pools and spas. These incidents are tragedies for families. They alter an entire family’s life. It changes the lives of the siblings and the parents.
