Text the show! A 16-year-old California lifeguard saved a 10-year-old boy from drowning in massive surf.The country celebrated the rescue.His mother celebrated something else: the training that made the rescue possible.When people tried to give her son money, she redirected them toward the Junior Lifeguards program that had spent years preparing him for the moment everyone else saw on video.That got Chad thinking:Why do we spend so much attention on the rescue and so little on the readiness?On this Freedom Friday, Chad follows that question from Junior Lifeguards and America's lifeguard shortage to CPR, Stop the Bleed, hunter education, emergency preparedness, and the invisible instructors who quietly create competent citizens.He also tells the story of flipping a raft on Oregon's Deschutes River with his 70- and 74-year-old parents — and realizing that training he hadn't consciously thought about in decades was still there when he needed it.The larger question:What should every American know before they're handed a high school diploma?Not politically.Practically.Because there's always a gap between the emergency and the professionals arriving.Those minutes belong to whoever is standing there.Freedom isn't only permission. Freedom is capability.

Send us a text and chime in!As families head to lakes, rivers, beaches and other open water destinations this summer, the Greater Yuma Water Safety Alliance (GYWSA) is encouraging everyone to make a safety plan before spending time in and around water. Unlike swimming pools, open water often comes with changing conditions, including stronger currents, uneven depths, limited visibility, and hidden hazards. Families are encouraged to choose designated swimming areas, follow posted signs and stay within marked swimming zones. “Any body of water without lifeguards deserves even greater caution,” said Parks and Recreation Supervisor AJ Mosqueda. “Rivers, lakes and oceans are constantly changing, with shifting depths,...   For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/yuma-encourages-families-to-practice-water-safety-this-summer/ Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

Hey Heal Squad! Today's conversation is SO important… especially as we are in the middle of summer! Friends… did you know that drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4? Wild, right? We protect our children with the safest car seats, seat belts, and vehicles available,  yet when it comes to water, many families don't have the same layers of protection. So this summer, let's make our backyards safer. And save some lives while we're at it.Today we are joined by Pamela Baldwin, a swim instructor with over 25 years of experience and the founder of FINtastic Swim School. Maria has been taking swim and water safety intensives with her recently,  and it sparked one of the most eye-opening experiences of her life. In this episode, Pam breaks down everything we think we know about water safety and where we're getting it wrong. We talk about what drowning actually looks like (nothing like the movies), why your pool fence isn't enough on its own, the safety equipment every pool owner needs within arm's reach, and the one thing you bring to the pool every single time that you trust completely… that could actually make things worse.We also do a full myth-or-fact on swim safety, and we talk about the profound Drowning in Silence….the documentary we are asking every single one of you to watch. It is hard. It is beautiful. It will change you. And if this episode sparks any safety action in you, be sure to shop Pam's W.A.T.E.R. Ambassador Essentials. These are the tools and resources every family should have to protect the people they love most around any body of water. Because let's be real… water safety starts with a conversation. So start the conversation today and help create a safer tomorrow.#StartTheConversationToday #IAmWaterAware #WaterSafety #DrowningPrevention #WATERAmbassador HEALERS & HEAL LINERS 4 Water Safety Tips To Protect Your Family: Recognize what drowning actually looks like,  it's silent, not splashing; Identify what's keeping your child safe versus what's giving you false security; Equip your pool with the right safety tools; Learn CPR and build a family emergency action plan before you need one Drowning doesn't make a sound. In real life drowning is fast, it is silent, and it almost always happens with someone nearby,  88% of the time, in fact. The single most powerful thing you can do is understand what it actually looks like. Telling one person what you learned today is an act of love. Water safety starts with awareness, but it doesn't end there. Every conversation, every added layer of protection, and every swim lesson makes a difference.

Water safety is about much more than swim lessons. In this episode, Angela and Sharon are joined by aquatic supervisor and water safety expert Carolyn Lechner-Uribe to share practical tips every parent and grandparent should know before spending time around pools, lakes, and beaches. They discuss the best age to start swim lessons, why a designated "Water Watcher" can save lives, the truth about floaties versus Coast Guard-approved life jackets, and the essential layers of protection every backyard pool should have. Carolyn also shares expert advice on teaching children to respect water without fearing it, common mistakes families make at pool parties, safety strategies for teens, and how grandparents can help keep grandchildren safe all summer long. Whether you have a backyard pool or simply enjoy family vacations near the water, this episode is packed with life-saving advice every family should hear.

It's the last Monday episode of the series before we break for the summer! First up... would you go for a run on a date? The rise of the “wellness date” reflects a deeper redefinition of modern romance. As dating app fatigue sets in, an entire generation is craving more honest interactions—and a shared breathwork class, a yoga session, or a guided meditation for two often reveals far more than an hour of polite conversation over drinks.Next up… tap water. It's a controversial topic in the wellness industry. Are you happy to plug straight from the tap or are you firmly filtered? The team dig in to the stats to uncover what really is going on, and should we really be worried about how much water we're drinking rather than the quality of the water itself? Read the fantastic article in Stylist here: https://www.stylist.co.uk/fitness-health/nutrition/are-water-filters-a-health-con/1096743And in Trending, Adrienne is looking at tinned fish. Whilst we covered the Sardine Diet earlier in the series, and did not advise that level of fish consumption, as a part of a balanced diet the stats really do not lie. There's no denying the vibe for tinned fish has changed from world war rations to east London hipster, but will you be cracking open a can yourself? Hosted on Acast.

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.

The conviction of former SNP Chief Executive Peter Murrell has sent shockwaves through Scottish politics and raised serious questions about financial oversight, leadership responsibility and public trust.In this episode of Crime Time Inc., former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the embezzlement case that dominated headlines across Scotland. Drawing on decades of investigative experience, they explore how breaches of trust develop, why embezzlement often goes undetected for years, and what warning signs organisations frequently miss.Tom and Simon compare the SNP case with real investigations from their policing careers, including thefts involving trusted employees, family-run businesses and compulsive offenders whose behaviour defied logic. They discuss the difference between crimes driven by need, greed and psychological compulsion, and analyse the extraordinary purchasing patterns revealed during the investigation.The conversation also turns to leadership accountability, internal financial controls, governance failures and the responsibilities of those entrusted with managing large organisations and public donations.In the second half of the episode, the hosts address the tragic rise in child and teenage drowning deaths across the UK. They discuss water safety, cold water shock, risk-taking behaviour among young people, and whether schools and parents are doing enough to prepare children for everyday dangers.A thought-provoking discussion on crime, trust, responsibility and the lessons that organisations and families ignore at their peril.The discussion also examines the wider implications of Operation Branchform, the investigation into Scottish National Party finances, and the questions raised about oversight during the leadership of Nicola Sturgeon.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Kristin Stitt with North Alabama Swim Schools and SafeSplash Swim Labs sharing an important reminder for adults who never learned to swim, it's never too late. Many adults carry fear, uncertainty, or simply missed opportunities when it comes to water safety and swimming. Kristin explains that adult learners need a different approach and that every person has different goals, whether it's overcoming fear, gaining confidence around water, learning basic swimming skills, or simply feeling comfortable enough to enjoy exercise in a pool. Learning water competency is not just for children. It can create confidence, improve safety, & open doors at any age.

They either can't swim outright, or they can't do basic things like treading water for a minute, swimming 25 yards, or getting out of a pool without a ladder.

On this episode of Luxury Outdoor Living Podcast, Mike Farley interviews Scarlett Hanson, owner of Floatee US, during Water Safety Month about Floatee, a France-made anti-drowning T-shirt for children that looks like an anti-UV swim shirt but automatically inflates into a life jacket when submerged, inflating in under three seconds, keeping the wearer on their back with airways out of the water via an asymmetrical design. It won a prestigious design award, has been used by over 50,000 people in Europe, and has generated parent testimonials after real pool incidents. The system uses a dissolving sensor and replaceable gas canister; the inflatable insert can be moved between shirt sizes and bright colors aid visibility. Sizes currently cover 10–25 kg, with 25–40 kg in development, plus adult manual/automatic versions. Scarlett shares pricing, certifications (ISO 12402), washing instructions, travel guidance for canisters, and plans for awareness, retail expansion, and trade-show demos, with info@floateeus.com.   Discover more: https://www.floateeus.com/ https://floatee.co/en https://www.farleypooldesigns.com/ https://www.instagram.com/farleydesigns/ https://www.instagram.com/luxuryoutdoorlivingpodcast/   00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 01:17 Water Safety Month Intro 01:59 Meet Scarlett and Floatee 02:21 How Floatee Works 05:04 Inside the Tech 08:23 Fit Sizes and Reuse 10:35 Travel and Layering Tips 12:23 Adult Versions Explained 14:46 Scarlett Safety Journey 20:26 Why Drowning Gets Overlooked 24:32 Real Life Saves and Pricing 27:35 Future Plans and Care 32:42 Rapid Fire Questions 34:23 Contact and Trade Shows 35:54 Final Wrap Up    

In this first episode of Enlight, Caroline Mardok speaks with Kaitlin Krause, founder of Rising Tide Effect, and Keraya Knight, a participant who grew into a mentor through the program. Set in New York City, the episode explores what access to water really means in a city surrounded by it: not only swimming lessons, but safety, confidence, dignity, and belonging. Through their conversation, the episode looks at the barriers many young people face—from cost and lack of access to food insecurity and fear of the water—and at how Rising Tide Effect is creating pathways through free swim instruction, water safety education, and youth development. At once intimate and civic, this is a story about survival, joy,and what it would take to build a more swimmable city. https://www.carolinemardok.com/
