Our standard
WaterWiseKids publishes practical water-safety education, provider-directory information, and original datasets. We aim to make each factual claim traceable to a named source and to distinguish verified facts from estimates, opinion, and incomplete information.
Sources and verification
- Medical and drowning-prevention guidance starts with current primary or institutional sources such as the AAP, CDC, AHA, Red Cross, CPSC, statutes, and government agencies.
- Provider prices, schedules, locations, and policies must link to the provider's current official page or document. We do not turn search snippets, anonymous comments, or directory estimates into verified facts.
- When a source does not establish a field, we say “not stated” rather than infer it.
- Time-sensitive facts carry a checked or modified date and, where appropriate, an expiration or recheck rule.
Authorship and review
Every new page must identify its responsible author or editorial owner. A generic team byline is not a medical credential. Health-related pages may display a named medical or technical reviewer only after that person has reviewed the specific version. Our current reviewer status is explained in the Medical Review Policy.
Use of AI tools
AI tools may help organize research, compare drafts, normalize structured data, or flag inconsistencies. They are not treated as sources. A human editor remains responsible for checking the cited source, resolving contradictions, and approving publication. Automated content is blocked when source, conflict, or release checks fail.
Independence and commercial content
Paid visibility does not buy safety recommendations or rank in standard directory results. Sponsored placements are labeled. Corporate relationships and the publisher's swim-school ownership are disclosed on relevant pages and in our Ownership and Advertising Disclosure.
Corrections
We correct material errors in place, update the review date, and record significant trust or safety corrections in the public Corrections Log. Send evidence-backed corrections through our contact page.
