National Drowning Report
Working through the Drowning Prevention Research Centre, the Lifesaving Society conducts drowning research to support its work in the prevention of water-related injuries and fatalities.
The collection and analysis of data provides an information base for the development of programs, safety promotion strategies and drowning prevention strategies. The information also provides an educational tool and information base for the Society’s customers and instructors, governments, other organizations and the general public.
Conducting annual drowning research enables the Society to focus its Water Smart® drowning prevention efforts on people most at risk (like men fishing in small boats) or those who can make a significant difference (such as parents of young children).
