Thanks @marywardy @smh for opportunity to warn against water complacency in the cooler months. For those in #DrowningPrevention Luai's rescue was a reminder to be cautious, particularly in unfamiliar conditions @UNSWMedicine @UNSW_BSRG @RoyalLifeSaving smh.com.au/national/nsw/for-…

Earlier this week we had a productive meeting with the Hon @jihaddibmp NSW Minister for Emergency Services about the importance of independent & evidence-based research underpinning coastal #DrowningPrevention Great to have a Minister in this role with strong interest in this!
Last weekend my brother, father and I - all ocean swimmers - got caught in a treacherous rip on the NSW Central Coast. My dad was rescued by a surfer. Several people have died there - so why weren’t there warnings?

New research shows that NSW Surfers want more funding for ocean cleanliness and drowning prevention initiatives, and are less interested in further investment in shark mitigation. Read more from @amyepeden and @Dr_Rip_SOS here: doi.org/10.1016/j.anzjph.202… #DrowningPrevention
