Have a plan: Weekend Water Safety Tips with Briar McCaw from the Elgin County Drowning Prevention Coalition.

For many families, water represents joy, summer afternoons, swimming lessons, beach vacations, backyard pools and time spent together. But in pediatrics, we also know that water can become dangerous in seconds, often quietly and without warning. Drowning remains one of the leading causes of preventable death in children, and recent updates from the American Academy of Pediatrics reinforce that prevention must be layered, proactive and tailored. In this episode, we explore how pediatricians can support drowning prevention, because some of the most important work in pediatrics happens long before an emergency occurs.   We are joined by Jason Woods, MD. He specializes in emergency medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado and is the Associate Program Director of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship Program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is also an associate professor. Some highlights from this episode include: The AAP guidelines and toolkit details about drowning prevention  Why the definition of drowning has changed and why that matters  How drowning prevention is layered The role of the pediatrician in feeling confident to counsel families on this topic  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.  

Florida has the most deaths from drowning in children ages one to four and ranks fourth in the nation for unintentional drowning deaths for all ages. Pediatric critical care physician Dr. Tara Smith discusses key prevention measures and water safety features to give parents knowledge and help save lives.To learn more about pediatric services at BayCare, go to BayCareKids.org.

Dr. Julie Gilchrist joins host Dr. Edith Bracho-Sanchez to talk about water safety. They explore common drowning risks and how to recognize when someone is in distress. Also learn about 5 key safety layers to protect kids from drowning and when to start children in swim lessons. For resources go to healthychildren.org/podcast.

Water safety is something she feels incredibly passionate about because drowning is often silent, fast, and far more common than most families realize. If you have children, spend time around pools, visit the beach, own a backyard pool, or simply want to be more prepared, this is information every caregiver needs to hear. In this re-aired episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with Tyler Bradshaw from Aqua-Tots Swim School for a conversation every parent, grandparent, and caregiver needs to hear. Because when it comes to water safety, most of us think it won't happen to our family... until it does. Together, they unpack the sobering realities of childhood drowning, including where it most commonly happens, why it often occurs when adults are nearby, and the simple mistakes that can turn a fun day around water into an emergency. Tyler shares the statistics every parent should know, explains the difference between fatal and non-fatal drowning incidents, and clears up common misconceptions about "dry drowning." HeHe and Tyler also dive into practical, actionable ways to reduce risk, including why designated water watchers matter, how distractions like phones can become dangerous around water, and the truth about puddle jumpers, floaties, and water wings. They discuss home pool safety, the best swimsuit colors for visibility, and what parents with multiple children can do to keep everyone safer during pool days. You'll also learn why swim lessons are about so much more than learning strokes, how early children can start building water safety skills, and what progression through swim lessons actually looks like from infancy through childhood. Whether you're heading into summer, planning pool days, vacationing near water, or simply wanting to be more prepared, this episode is packed with life-saving information that could make all the difference for your family. 00:00 Put the Phone Down 00:54 Partner as Birth Advocate 02:46 Father's Day Dad Daze Deal 09:23 Why Water Safety Matters 13:10 Where Drowning Happens 15:05 Dry vs Nonfatal Drowning 17:30 Poolside Distractions 19:02 Water Watcher System 22:06 Floaties and False Security 26:22 Multiples and Home Pool Safety 32:17 Pool Alarms And Sensors 33:15 Highway Rule Pool Temptations 34:36 Fence Durability And Gate Safety 35:48 Why Swim Lessons Matter 39:31 Lesson Levels Skills And Wrap Up Guest Bio: Tyler Bradshaw is the owner of Aqua-Tots Swim School Norwood and a passionate advocate for childhood water safety and drowning prevention.

Send us Fan MailDrowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4 in multiple countries - yet it receives only a fraction of the attention of other public health crises. Why?Acacia Landfield is Associate Director, Principal Investigator, and Director of Policy & Implementation Science at The Drowning Research & Injury Prevention Policy Institute ( DRIPPI - https://www.drippi.org/ ), a multidisciplinary nonprofit consortium focused on reducing drowning deaths through research, education, systems thinking, and policy innovation.Acacia brings together an unusually broad background spanning public health, international diplomacy, education, implementation science, and aquatic safety. A lifelong swim coach and water safety educator, she has spent more than 25 years working across injury prevention, public policy, and community education, with a mission to address one of the world's most overlooked public health crises: childhood drowning.Acacia's work focuses on what she calls “universal basic aquatic competency” - the idea that early, gentle, developmentally informed water exposure can fundamentally change drowning outcomes across entire populations. Her research explores everything from breathing mechanics and motor learning in the water to the unintended downstream effects of flotation devices and inequities in aquatic infrastructure.Acacia is also helping reframe drowning prevention as part of a much larger conversation around climate resilience, disaster preparedness, urban planning, and health equity. As a 2024 Presidential Road Safety Scholar with the American Public Health Association, and an active contributor to climate and disaster preparedness initiatives, she is pushing for drowning prevention to be treated not as a niche issue, but as a core pillar of public health policy worldwide.Before co-founding DRIPPI and launching her research initiative SASE, Acacia held leadership and strategy roles at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and the U.S. Department of State, where she worked on international education, diplomacy, and policy initiatives across multiple countries and sectors.Acacia holds degrees from Yale University and San José State University, is completing her MPH, and plans to pursue a DrPH focused on implementation science and injury prevention.Today, we'll explore why drowning remains one of the leading causes of death for children worldwide, why many current prevention models may be incomplete, and how a systems-level rethink of aquatic literacy could potentially save tens of thousands of lives each year.#DrowningPrevention #WaterSafety #AquaticLiteracy #Swimming #PublicHealth #ClimateResilience #ChildSafety #AquaticCompetency #DRIPPI #AcaciaLandfield #InjuryPrevention #SwimSafety #Aquatics #GlobalHealth #ClimateChange #ImplementationScience #AquaticEducation #SwimmingLessons #Parenting #HealthPodcast #Longevity #BrainHealth #DisasterPreparedness #HealthInnovation #WaterCompetencySupport the show

Welcome back to the Autism Little Learners Podcast! If you haven't listened to Part 1 of this conversation on autism and water safety yet, be sure to go check that out first—it's episode #125. In that episode, I sat down with Dayna Harvey, a certified swim instructor who specializes in working with autistic children, and Andy Roszak, an emergency preparedness expert with experience at FEMA and the CDC. Together, we shared eye-opening statistics and essential first steps families can take to begin protecting their children around water. In this episode—Part 2—we're diving even deeper. You'll hear more from Dayna and Andy about why swim lessons alone aren't enough, how to use visual supports to reinforce water safety, and the critical role of community awareness in preventing drowning. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, teacher, or therapist, this conversation is full of actionable strategies and resources to help keep autistic children safe. Let's get started. Bio Andy Roszak, JD, MPA, EMT-Paramedic is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Institute for Childhood Preparedness, where he leads efforts to strengthen emergency planning, disaster recovery, and resilience across early childhood and community-based settings. With more than 20 years of experience in public health, emergency management, and health policy, Andrew has worked at the local, state, federal, and nonprofit levels-supporting initiatives that help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises. Andy is a frequent contributor and subject matter expert for Sesame Street in Communities, where he supports efforts around preparedness, disaster response, and resilience for families and caregivers. A former firefighter, paramedic, and hazardous materials technician, he has also served as a Health Policy Fellow in the U.S. Senate, a senior advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and as a Senior Preparedness Advisor supporting Super Bowl 46 and the Indianapolis 500. Andy is an award-winning author of the Preparing for the Unexpected book series, and his work has been recognized by organizations including the Red Cross, the City of El Paso, and Sesame Street, where he was named a Sesame Street Hero. His focus is on practical, real-world strategies to help individuals, organizations, and communities be better prepared for whatever challenges may come. Andy is the proud father of two daughters, aged 1 and 4. Dayna Harvey is a Water Safety and Drowning prevention educator as well as a Swim Lesson Teacher, who specializes in working with children with autism and their parents. She has been teaching swim lessons for the past 35 years and is certified through the Red Cross as well as a program called AutismSwim. Dayna is on a MISSION to educate and empower parents with information, strategies and hands on tools to help them keep their children safer in and around water because we MUST eradicate childhood drowning. The autism community saw more drownings in 2024 than in any year prior and that has intensified Dayna's commitment to reach more parents with her message and her methods. Dayna and the Waiting Whale kids, who she created to help engage both parents and children in the education process, have developed the "Where there is water, I will WAIT!" program and The Waiting Whales - Water Safety Kit Water Safety With Miss Dayna Links: www.WaterSafetyWithMissDayna.com www.Facebook.com/WaterSafetyWithMissDayna www.Instagram.com/WaterSafetyWithMissDayna Miss Dayna's Water Safety Kit: https://watersafetywithmissdayna.com/water-safety-kit Institute For Childhood Preparedness Links: https://www.childhoodpreparedness.org/ Free Safety-Related Social Stories: https://www.childhoodpreparedness.org/printables Takeaways Water safety is crucial for all children, especially autistic children. Visual cues and predictable routines enhance learning for children. Creating a waiting area can significantly reduce drowning risks. Parents must be fully attentive when children are around water. Consistency in teaching water safety is key to success. Using a water safety kit can help establish safe practices. Children can learn to wait before entering water environments. Swim lessons should focus on both water safety and swimming skills. Parents should evaluate their home environment for water hazards.

Welcome back to the Autism Little Learners Podcast. Today, I'm joined by two incredible guests—Dayna Harvey, a certified swim instructor who specializes in teaching autistic children, and Andy Roszak, an emergency preparedness expert who has worked with FEMA and the CDC. Together, we're diving into a topic that's incredibly important—and honestly, one that doesn't get talked about enough: water safety for autistic children. As a speech-language pathologist and someone who's worked closely with autistic children for over two decades, I've seen just how real the risks are. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death for autistic kids, and it's something we have to bring more awareness to. In this episode, we're not just sharing facts and statistics—we're getting personal and practical. Dayna and Andy offer eye-opening insight and simple, proactive strategies that parents, caregivers, and educators can use right away. We'll talk about risk assessments, layers of protection, communication tools, and the role of community awareness in preventing tragedies. My goal with this conversation is to empower you with actionable steps so you can feel more confident and prepared when it comes to water safety.
