"Speedo USA is part of the Warnaco family of companies. We will be encouraging as many of our extended family to swim and donate for nets.
Malaria kills 3 million people each year, 70% of them children under 5. It is the world's single largest killer of children.
Yet malaria is totally preventable and treatable. The most effective thing we can do is have people in affected areas sleep under a $5 net. Each net protects 2 children. The statistics show every 20 nets installed leads to one life saved. That's $100 a life.
100% of the money raised here will buy nets.
Please give generously."
Paula Schneider, President, Speedo North America
