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🔗https://t.co/FzCJiphHSa🧵1/2

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! https://t.co/KBNJAKke7j

@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.

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.

@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.

@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.

@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. https://t.co/XG9oqlUwxl
