💧 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...

REST • BREATHE • FLOAT 💙For a child under 5, learning to float independently on their back for 60 seconds or more is an essential survival skill.Why 60 seconds?Because in a water emergency, those seconds can give a young child time to:💧 REST — stop struggling and conserve energy💨 BREATHE — establish a safe breathing position🛟 FLOAT — remain at the surface while waiting for help or preparing to swim againYoung children can tire quickly in water. Survival isn’t just about being able to swim — it’s about knowing what to do when they can’t keep swimming.We teach children to recover, roll onto their back and confidently maintain a float so they have somewhere safe to rest and breathe.60 seconds of independent floating could be life saving.REST • BREATHE • FLOAT#floatingsaveslives 💙 ...
