💙 World Drowning Prevention Day 💙Today we remember.We remember every life lost to drowning.Every child.Every adult.Every story that ended far too soon.We remember the families whose lives have been changed forever.The friends who carry the loss.The communities left with an empty space that can never be filled.Drowning is often silent, sudden, devastating and far reaching. But it is also largely preventable.At Kids Aquatic Survival School, we believe every child deserves the skills and confidence to survive an unexpected aquatic emergency. Teaching children to recover from an unintentional fall into water, float on their back, remain calm isn’t just swimming lessons - it’s a life-saving skill.Today, we honour those we’ve lost by continuing to educate, advocate and work towards a future where fewer families experience this heartbreak and we achieve a world free from drowning.Because anyone can drown, no one should.💙 Floating Saves Lives....…#WorldDrowningPreventionDay #AnyoneCanDrownNoOneShould #FloatingSavesLives #DrowningPrevention #EveryLifeMatters ...

A child’s first fall into water is rarely planned. It’s often a sudden slip or stumble — fully clothed, disoriented and unable to understand what just happened.That’s why water safety for children under 6 years should go beyond “swim lessons” alone.Children need opportunities to practise what a real accidental fall might feel like: entering the water unexpectedly, recovering from the shock and disorientation, rolling onto their back, resting, breathing and staying calm until help arrives. Floating and moving in clothes feels very different to swimming in their normal swimming costume or bathers — and those few seconds of recovery could be life saving.Royal Life Saving research shows drowning risk triples when a child turns one, as mobility increases and curiosity outpaces judgement. Data also shows children aged 1–4 have the highest rates of hospitalisation for drowning and submersion, with many incidents occurring in swimming pools (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare).Drowning doesn’t discriminate. Anybody can drown. No one should. Equip your child with survival skills appropriate to their age to use in situations they may be exposed to now and in the future.#WaterSafety #FloatingSavesLives #DrowningPrevention ...

💦 Keep kids swimming throughout winter ❄️ According to Royal Life Saving, almost a third of all drowning deaths of children under five occur in autumn and winter. During summer children are keen to participate in swimming activities and frequently practice their aquatic survival skills outside of lessons without even realising. This additional practice is often very noticeable when children return to lessons showing progression.However when the temperatures start to drop, the idea of swimming and lessons often loses its appeal.It is important to remember that taking extended breaks where children aren’t swimming at all can set them back and when they eventually do return to the water after weeks or months they will have a LOT of catching up to do.A key factor of how we learn – especially in children – is through repetition. Breaking this pattern could see children losing the skills they once had and spending a longer time in a level reacquiring those skills. Make sure you’re continuing your children’s swimming lessons to ensure time spent previously learning isn’t wasted.When children have had an extended absence from the water or lessons we often see a decrease in retention of skills. Continuing swimming lessons throughout winter will allow them to continue learning and also help them to develop skills that will enhance their aquatic survival and safety in and around water.Call 1800 543 779 or email [email protected] to enrol your child into our accelerated survival program or if they are an existing student they might benefit from an intensive week of lessons delivered throughout the school holidays to enhance their water safety.#floatingsaveslivesKeep kids swimming throughout winterAccording to Royal Life Saving, almost a third of all drowning deaths of children under five occur in autumn and winter.
