Nasco
  Welcome To The Official Website For NASCO.
The National Aquatic Safety Company was founded in 1974 by Dr. John Hunsucker with the mission to reduce the loss of life due to drowning. During its history, NASCO has taught tens of thousands of students in their effort to fulfill this mission. The programs of the company were developed over many years of research and contributions from individuals too numerous to name. It goes without saying that their contributions have made NASCO what it is today, a leader and innovator in safety for the aquatics and amusement park industry. As a leader and innovator in safety for the aquatics and amusement park industry, NASCO will continue introducing innovative courses, safety techniques, procedures, and training.
