Pella pool responds to drownings with new rules

Two teenagers drowned last year in Pella at the aquatic center, and this summer they've implemented surprise safety drills for life guards and swimming restrictions for children. Many pool managers say they have these restrictions, but Pella goes a step further where life guards will be secretly video taped while on duty. And twice a week a toddler sized dummy will be placed in the pool and life guards will have to reach it within 20 seconds.
