My Pool Pal® Wins Honors Award in the Nation’s Most

Tuesday May 01, 2007 - My Pool Pal® Swim-sters® swim diapers have been named an Honors Award winner in the 2007 NAPPA (National Parenting Publications Awards) competition. This prestigious award recognizes Swim-sters® swim diapers as one of the most innovative and useful products geared to expectant, new and veteran parents today.

My Pool Pal® Swim-sters® are designed to replace traditional diapers for infants and toddlers during water activities. A study conducted at the University of Georgia found Swim-sters® can help prevent the release of potentially harmful bacteria from the swimsuits of swimming children. “If worn correctly, the products make participating in water activities much safer for children,” said Dr. Steven Poet.

My Pool Pal® Swim-sters® are designed so they do not absorb liquid, avoiding adding dangerous extra weight. They also do not come apart, clogging pool filters. Swim-sters® fit comfortably under swimsuits; and they contain solids in the water, thereby preventing embarrassing accidents. Swim-sters® are designed for children one to four years of age. Swim-sters® also come in larger sizes for children or adults with special needs.

“NAPPA-winning products meet the most stringent criteria and are judged by nationally recognized industry experts, educators and advocates in their fields,” says NAPPA spokesperson Barbara Smith Decker. “The NAPPA Parenting Resources awards have set the industry standard of excellence since 1999 and are a sought-after honor by designers, publishers and manufacturers. Parents know they can trust NAPPA.”

The NAPPA Parenting Resources Competition is a companion to the NAPPA Children’s Products program, which has been highlighting the best of children’s toys, books, music, DVDs, software/video games/websites and storytelling/spoken-word recordings for 17 years. The NAPPA program has been recognized for its service to parents, winning the Parenting Publications of America’s Gold Award for its Children’s Products coverage. NAPPA is a program of Dominion Parenting Media and its winners are featured in more than 30 regional parenting magazines nationwide and on Parenthood.com.
