“We teach them how to swim safely,” says Monique Gelineal, facility manager of LA Aquatic.
LA City parks recently told Mills that safety measures remain in place at all times.
“How to alert the lifeguards or anyone around them when they are in need of help. And just some general safety practices. How to reach for someone while keeping yourself safe, if they need assistance and what tools we have at the facility,”
On their website, Summerkids Camp, writes: “Our gated pool is equipped with the latest safety equipment. A lifeguard counselor sits in the lifeguard chair at all times when campers are in the pool. Other lifeguards are on duty on the sides of the pool and in the pool itself.”
Summekids Camp is located in Altadena Hills, it’s 57 well-maintained acres.
Started in 1978 by the Dimassa Vamily of Pasadena — they still run the camp.
The owners made it clear to Mills they were not interested in talking about what happened to the 6-year-old.
