Remember this on @BBCNews ? @ExmouthBRC part of @surflifesaving on #ChristmasDay performed a major 1st incident. Keeping it in the family a member who had come through the club now a paramedic came on scene for a full handover from Dad! Great work to all.

Rips kill more people a year on average than bushfires, floods, cyclones and sharks combined. Brush up on the latest advice so you can stay safe this summer. @Dr_Rip_SOS @UNSW https://t.co/V7wzlqXonD

Noticeable rise in bluesky users in recent days. Journalists have been there for a while already. Now, it seems academics are coming in large numbers.

For some time (months?), engagement there is usually biggest of all platforms I’m on.

The Lifesaving Foundation wants to stop 700,000 people dying from suicide each year and is striving to change the narrative on suicide by drowning. #drowingprevention Join the discussion on the 13/11/24 to reduce the impact of suicide on families and community. #suicidebydrowning

[Adrian Mayhew @adeymayhew_]

Great to see national and local government come together to look at the #drowning problem in Spain. The @RFESS1 have had a busy year with lives lost ! Working together helps. Something the UK could learn and support lifesaving organisations

[Adrian Mayhew @adeymayhew_]

15,000 lives lost in Europe ! In LMIC are 30 x more likely to drown compared to HMIC - it’s staggering #WHO @surflifesaving @ILSEurope @RFESS1 30-39 male group a problem and well as over 60s #CIPREA2024

[Pooria Sarrami @psarrami]

Despite the high burden, less is known about non-fatal drowning.

The new research article, funded and supported by @nswitim, provide a new insight about Rates of fatal and nonfatal drowning in NSW 2010-2021:

@PaulVittles @Zer0Suicide @RNLIBlackpool @ScubaRoss is that you?

@suewilkinson13 @afPE_PE It’s been great to work with you Sue, you’ve been an incredible advocate for swimming. All the best for the future

[Exeter Cycling @ExeterCycling]

We are worried to note that #VisionZero signatories in the SW are not following this model of *designing in safety*. The child safety zone Heavitree AST was cancelled to appease noisy protesters.
This was the result.
Please deliver #SafeStreetsNow

[Ashley Jones @ashisnemo]

Great work from @RLSSUK and @NCMD_England to highlight a horrible growing trend. Requires lots of collaboration between @NWSFweb parters and crucially some non traditional water safety stakeholders

[Royal Life Saving Society UK - RLSS UK @RLSSUK]

This morning, we are able to share a Child Drowning Update for 2024.

The report highlights evidence from @NCMD_England which shows that the number of child drowning deaths in England has doubled over the last four years. No child should drown.
