Today we commemorate World #DrowningPrevention The @who Global Status Report on Drowning Prevention is a great tool to start the conversation in your country #YourStoryCanSaveALife injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/early/…

The Water Whispers (Episode 10 is the final episode of Season 1 of the Views, News & Observations project) A child can drown in just 20 seconds and an adult in about 40 seconds, sometimes with as little as half a cup of water in the lungs. Drowning isn’t limited to deep water; even 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) can be dangerous for infants and young children, posing risks in bathtubs, buckets, and puddles. Adults can also drown if water covers their mouth and nose, especially if unconscious. Any water amount can be hazardous, highlighting the need for water safety awareness and safety around all water bodies. youtube.com/watch?v=6kjZUY… #edaccura #NOIZE #blackscantswim #changingthenarrative #watersafety #blackswimmingassociation #DrowningPrevention #SwimSafe #RespectTheWater #BeWaterAware #drowningpreventionweek
