Spring is here – is your pool safe?Children under five are naturally curious and fast around water, which puts them at serious risk of drowning. The latest National Drowning Report shows 11 children under five drowned in Australia in 2025/26, with 55 per cent of these deaths occurring in backyard swimming pools.While active supervision is always the best protection, no parent or caregiver can watch a child every second of the day. A functioning, compliant pool fence and self-closing, self-latching gate provides a vital extra layer of protection.Download our free Home Pool Safety Checklist today and take action to keep your family safe.Learn more: bit.ly/4iVyp2d#KeepWatch #PoolSafety #DrowningPrevention #SpringSafety ...

💧 Drowning Doesn’t Always Mean DeathWhen we hear the word “drowning,” many people automatically think of a fatal incident. But medically, drowning has a much broader meaning.Drowning is defined as “the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion or immersion in liquid.”There are three possible outcomes: fatal drowning, survival with ongoing health effects, or survival with no lasting effects.This is why terms such as “near-drowning,” “secondary drowning” and “wet/dry drowning” are no longer used. A person can drown and survive.For children, a non-fatal drowning can range from an incident requiring medical assessment to a life-changing event resulting in permanent neurological injury.💙 Prevention matters. Survival skills matter. Supervision matters.Teaching children how to respond when they unexpectedly enter the water — to rest, breathe and float — can give them vital time to stay calm, keep their airway above water and wait for help.Drowning prevention isn’t only about preventing fatalities. It’s about preventing the drowning event in the first place.#DrowningPrevention #floatingsaveslives ...
