A sad year that represents hundreds of families suffering. Extremely sobering reports from @RoyalLifeSaving and @SLSAustralia #drowning #nonfataldrowning

[Royal Life Saving @RoyalLifeSaving]

Tragically, last year there were 339 drowning deaths with 141 being along the coast, the highest in more than 25 years (1996). @RoyalLifeSaving & @SLSAustralia have released their annual reports on drowning. More here: https://t.co/Uq4Q9veDl4

Looking forward to @amyepeden presentation on distraction on supervision in childhood drowning

[Dr Amy Peden @amyepeden]

Great question for panel @JustinScarr - what NOT to do when approaching government ❗️bring the evidence ❗️don’t come without solutions ❗️ensure alignment with the department ❗️be committed to partnership and collaboration #DrowningPrevention #WaterSafetySummit

[Jagnoor Jagnoor @JJagnoor]

A reminder that fatal drowning is only a tip of the iceberg.

@DMIRS_WA reflections on pool fencing.

Looking forward to conversations on #nonfatal #drowningprevention

Following a summer drowning toll where drowning rates rose 30 per cent on the previous summer, leading water safety experts and advocates have come together today at the National Water Safety Summit in Sydney, in a bid to address rising drowning rates. https://t.co/85XyuslJYI

[Dr Amy Peden @amyepeden]

A lot of factors go into preventing child drowning in home swimming pools - great to see role of compliant barriers in reducing pool drowning fatalities of young children in WA highlighted @DMIRS_WA #WaterSafetySummit

[SamuelMorrisFnd @SamuelMorrisFnd]

It is great to hear non-fatal drowning being mentioned throughout presentations so far at the #watersafetysummit we will be reflecting on this in our #drowningprevention presentation later today, when sharing Samuel’s story.

[SamuelMorrisFnd @SamuelMorrisFnd]

A year in WA with ZERO drowning deaths in children 0-4 despite double population, tripling of pools. An amazing #drowningprevention outcome (but this did not include non-fatal drowning)

[SamuelMorrisFnd @SamuelMorrisFnd]

Listening to Martin Roddis presenting on the effectiveness of Pool Fencing laws in #drowningprevention in WA at #watersafetysummit

[SamuelMorrisFnd @SamuelMorrisFnd]

We’ve been quiet - today we are lucky to be back at the National Water Safety Summit - sharing Samuel’s story. Thank you to EVERYONE who plays a role in #drowningprevention

Important thread👇
9 families this summer have been left devastated by drowning. Simple safety messages, if not dismissed - really can save lives in and around our waterways
