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. Drawing on their experience as former detectives, Tom Wood and Simon McLean provide insight into how fraud investigations develop, why financial controls fail, and what lessons organisations can learn from high-profile cases. The episode concludes with an important discussion on water safety, drowning prevention and the risks of cold water immersion.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the SNP Embezzlement Case01:20 How Embezzlement Typically Begins05:44 A Detective's Real-Life £74,000 Theft Investigation09:40 Need, Greed and Compulsive Theft16:37 The Strange Psychology of Criminal Behaviour18:45 Comparing Major Financial Crime Cases21:14 Leadership Accountability and Governance Failures23:58 Water Safety and Preventable Tragedies25:46 Why Young People Are Most at Risk28:13 The Green Cross Code and Safety LessonsAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

What to do when you fall into cold water: Weekend Water Safety with Briar McCaw of the Elgin County Drowning Prevention Coalition.

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

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.

More than half of Americans don't know how to swim. 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/

Auckland Council wants to hear from you. It's consulting on proposed changes to the Auckland Navigational Bylaw. Right now, Clause 20 of the bylaw requires personal flotation devices, also known as life jackets, on vessels six metres and under. Unless, and here comes the thorny bit, unless the person in charge gives permission not to wear one. So that makes it all pretty cloudy, doesn't it? The proposed changes aim to clarify expectations and support safer decisions on the water. The proposed change to Clause 20 makes the rule clear, according to the council, and protects everyone on board. What they want to change to is personal flotation devices must be worn on recreational vessels six metres or less in length. So no faffing around with, oh, the person in charge says I don't have to – if you're on the boat, you wear them. Submissions opened yesterday and are open until the 7th of June 2026, so you've got a bit over a month to have your say. Is this sort of explicit rendering of the law necessary? Well, if you look at the stats, yes, it is. On average, between 15 to 20 people die every year in recreational boating accidents. And the majority of the accidents don't happen in rough seas miles from shore, they occur in the northern part of the North Island and in coastal waters within two kilometres of shore, and when you drill down, within 400 metres of shore. Vessel types: kayaks, canoes, small powerboats under six metres are the ones most frequently involved. Capsizing and falling overboard are the primary causes of accidents, often happening suddenly, and over half of those who died in the boating accidents were, guess what, not wearing a life jacket. So you can understand the frustration from Coastguard New Zealand, from the first responders turning up seeing the devastation that occurs when a loved one dies from what was supposed to be a fantastic day out. And it's all so unnecessary. With the right flotation device, you get wet and you go home, and a family's not torn apart. I understand that for a lot of people, going out on the boat is the last freedom. You know, the wind through your hair, if you've got any, the salt water and sound of the seabirds, the light glinting off the water, and you're catching food for dinner. It's a fantastic experience, but it can all go wrong so quickly. And being sorry is all very well and good. “Oh my god, I should have insisted they wear a life jacket.” Yeah, you should have and it's too late now. Do we leave it to God's little pruning fork? Like if you choose not to wear a life jacket and you know the stats, for heaven's sake, if you're a boatie, you know the stats. But is it a case of other people? Oh, it'll happen to other people. I'm very cautious, I'm very careful, I know what I'm doing. I can swim well. I was a lifesaver 42 years ago, I can look after the grandkids if anything happens. It's always other people until it isn't. But do you still want to be able to make your own choices and if the worst happens, oh well, there we go, it's just one of those things? Or should people be saved from their own stupidity and poor decisions? Every single boatie I know has really strict rules around their boat. When the kids go on board, they understand that the captain's in charge, you follow the rules, what he or she says goes, and life jackets are compulsory for everybody. It's not just for the kids and the adults don't wear them. Everybody wears them. I understand people want to go to hell in their own way, but I can also really understand the frustration of first responders and Coastguard who have to deliver the news to people back on shore that because the person they loved was wilful and obstinate and refused to believe that they were mortal, they're not going to be with them ever again. To me, it seems a no brainer. And I'm sure if you're that sort of boatie, you'd be like, how can you not? How can you not insist that people stay safe? It's not an onerous burden these days. So do you just leave people to, like I say, go to hell in their own way? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, following a four-week trial, an Alabama jury handed boat repairman Mark Griffin a $70 million victory after he contracted a flesh-eating bacteria in 2019. According to Griffin's lawsuit, Tyson and industrial plumbing contractor Hydraservice were responsible for a large wastewater spill that led to his infection. In June 2019, Tyson's River Valley Ingredients facility in Hanceville discharged an estimated 220,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater into Mulberry Fork, a major tributary of the Black Warrior River. The spill was caused by a "mechanical failure" traced to some temporary piping work installed by Hydraservice. According to a report from AL.com, Griffin lives some 30 miles from the plant. Given his profession, he has spent most of his life on the Black Warrior River, but he became severely ill after coming into contact with bacteria in the water.Griffin contracted necrotizing fasciitis and had to undergo multiple surgeries. Some seven years later, he still has an open wound and a bone infection in his hips and pelvis. The jury awarded $25 million in compensatory damages and $45 million in punitive damages. #TysonFoods #EnvironmentalNews #WaterContamination #IndustrialAccident #ManufacturingNews #WorkplaceSafety #PublicHealth #LegalNews #Lawsuit #ToxicExposure #WaterSafety #InfrastructureFailure #IndustrialSpill #BreakingNews #HealthCrisis #CorporateAccountability #USNews #RiverPollution #SafetyFirst #EnvironmentalImpact

RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Departments joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the 12 Communities in 12 Months Event in Orion for March, insurance navigators, National Groundwater Awareness Week, emergency supply checks, and food safety. The Henry and Stark County Health Departments are highlighting several key programs this month. Residents are urged to check emergency supplies and replace smoke alarm batteries during the time change on March 8th as part of the "Set Your Clocks, Check Your Stocks" campaign. National Groundwater Awareness Week, March 8-14, is the perfect time for homeowners to schedule annual water well inspections to ensure water safety and prevent costly repairs. Meanwhile, anyone serving food at local events this summer must submit permit applications in advance. For those needing health insurance help, in-person assistance is available at multiple local venues throughout March.

The salient point of today's discussion centers on the occurrence of a magnitude 5.3 earthquake near Boulder Island, Alaska. The United States Tsunami Warning Center has issued a statement indicating that no tsunami warning, advisory, watch, or threat is currently in effect following this seismic event. Furthermore, we provide updates from various states, including the rescission of a precautionary boil-water notice in Marion County, Florida, based on satisfactory safety results.

Australian and Indian drowning prevention experts have come together for a two-day workshop to explore new ways to reduce drowning deaths in both countries. Drowning causes tens of thousands of deaths a year in India, and in Australia, experts say the Indian diaspora is among groups that are worryingly over-represented in the country's drowning fatalities. Through exchanging ideas and building stronger cultural knowledge, workshop participants have explored new, sustainable ways to improve water safety.
