Climate change results in changing drivers for recreational, occupational, & daily interaction with water. Increased frequency of unsafe exposure to water leads to higher risk factors for people, & increases the burden on rescuers and health services🔗buff.ly/3ZnO7Xp🧵1/2

Excellent article and stark warnings by @LifeguardsWB and @ProfMikeTipton What are you doing to change things? Drowning and Climate Change wms.org/magazine/1374/…

Teach CPR and AED use at the high school level. Make it a requirement. Literally a life saving skill everyone needs to know and have

I wrote about 10-year-old Cooper saving a drowning toddler in the summer, after he got tips from his favourite show ⁦@bondirescue⁩ and his hero ⁦@lifeguardhoppo⁩. Hoppo saw it and flew over to surprise him. Such a lovely story, thank you Hoppo! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Hey South #KingCounty & #Seattle Students 📢 📢 Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a lifeguard? Together w/ @Amazon, @KCPubHealth, @seattlechildren, & @SplashFwd we will host a FREE virtual workshop (11/15) on HOW TO become a lifeguard🛟 hiprc.org/nipd-drowning/ (1/2)

@timnutbeam @cliffreid @EBMgoneWILD @hawkvox @ProfMikeTipton @drpaddymorgan @EBMgoneWILD - You can rest well knowing that @drpaddymorgan and @ProfMikeTipton are on the case. I must say that we all love seeing the info in the old books. It’s like looking at pictures of how silly we all dressed in high school.

@cliffreid @EBMgoneWILD @hawkvox @LifeguardsWB Don’t worry we have proper expertise addressing drowning in the second edition (with the publishers!) in @ProfMikeTipton and @drpaddymorgan

This is me twitching. See if you can find all the problems on this page. (Yes it's an older book but it still is after the Utstein style for drowning which was 2003) @hawkvox @LifeguardsWB

4 weeks ago I went down to the river. I didn’t want to die but I didn’t feel worthy of life nor a sense of belonging. Rescued by lifeboat volunteers @rnli_teddington. Strangers who cared about me and my life - such kindness made me feel human. @RNLI #WSPD2022 #SuicidePrevention

A new study out of HIPRC, @seattlechildren, and @WADeptHealth sought to identify gaps in drowning prevention strategies among adolescents across the state. Researchers on this study offer low-cost suggestions which may help deter drownings. hiprc.org/blog/dispariti… @UWMedicine

@SafeSUP @Ilcor_org @w_a_koon @the_arcproject @amyepeden @uslifesaving @904schmidt @DEEP_Curtin @HalleQuezada @wcdp2021 @LauraMetroCPR Great question. For lay persons & professional rescuers, it becomes a question of simplicity in guidelines. The purpose of the systematic review was to evaluate the literature to see if there was a survival benefit to ABC v CAB.

Karen Cohn lost her 6-year-old son, Zachary, when he drowned in the backyard pool. “I’m still overwhelmed with emotion when I think back to that horrible day in 2007, the day that changed our lives forever,” she writes. huffpost.com/entry/drowning…

Absolutely stellar panel!

@JoshWal03767364 @BenZabar @CombatDiverFdn @LACoLifeguards @Garmin @MikePerryavatar @rescueswimmer @EBMgoneWILD @PararescueF1 I feel like a dinosaur, I haven’t made the transition off of analog watches. I use a wrist mount @suunto dive computer, but haven’t made the leap to a suunto/garmin/iWatch for daily use.

My solution so far to not losing my watch in the surf. Any ocean swimmers/ combat dive dudes have any better solutions? @CombatDiverFdn @LifeguardsWB @LACoLifeguards @Garmin @MikePerryavatar @rescueswimmer @EBMgoneWILD @PararescueF1

@BenZabar @Paul72309704 @CRM_saves_lives @CombatDiverFdn @LACoLifeguards @MikePerryavatar @rescueswimmer @EBMgoneWILD @PararescueF1 My choice for the surf is Bertucci’s. Titanium body with unibody construction, so no pins to fail. Previously, I lost watches from lateral strokes to the face torquing out the pins. bertucciwatches.com/Bertucci/home.…
