Rational Suffocating Research

After this incident, I was presented with three options. The first option was to speak firmly to him about staying away from pools so it would make a big impression. The second option was to resolve to having Jason wear a safety vest whenever he is around pools. The third option was to decide to enroll Jason in toddler swimming lessons, which emphasize safety, holding your breath, swimming to the edge of the pool, and holding on. I chose the third option. I felt it necessary to sign him up for toddler swimming lessons. Studies show that registering your child in a swimming class to learn how to swim helps reduces the risk of childhood

Athletics had not always been a flauntable aspect of my life as they are now. In grades 1-4, I was uncoordinated and far too lanky to produce and store any muscle. I often ponder about what changed in the fifth grade, for I became very agile and have exercised almost every day since the beginning of that year. I did not pick up the sport of swimming until the seventh grade and I cannot imagine myself not swimming, not only as a source of exercise but as a source of pure pleasure.

Before you can allow a child to play you need to ensure that the area is safe for them to do so and you are aware of where the emergency exits are. Check around for any unsuitable items that can harm a child such as sharp objects, pens & pencils, plastic bags or toys that contain small parts and can be swallowed.

Aero said, “Our main goal and objective is to give children alternatives so that they swim in the pool. We want you to keep cool, but be safe.”

Everyone at one point in their life will have to go into a pool, or a body of water. I recently taught a swimmer in grade 6, let’s call him Steve. Steve was taller than me, and he was in a class with 5 year olds. Steve had gone 11 years without knowing how to swim. I bet you that his parent’s didn’t know how to swim either because if it takes so long for you to sign up your kid in lessons, then you must not find swimming much of a priority for yourself either. Steve had gone 11 years of his life being at risk of drowning. Lessons start for kids as young as 12 months old. Everywhere you turn, there are swimming lessons available! Your child can learn to swim anytime in their life, but get it done early because learning to swim is like riding a bike(analogy), once you know how, you never completely

Central Idea: Swimming has a long and rich history that dates back way before our generations and is not always as beneficial as we may think.

Once I was afraid of bodies of water since I did not know how to swim, now I am in love with any activity that has to do with water. I was raised in the Dominican Republic, a caribbean island, where it is customary to throw one’s child in the deep end of a pool so that their natural instinct of swimming is awakened. I was not the case. My mother pushed me to the water and amazingly enough I did not panic. Instead of panicking, I accepted my fate and sunk down. After about 30 seconds in my cousin dove in a took me out. Once out of the water, I began to panic. Consequently, I began crying, shaking and screaming at my mother for throwing me into the pool. Shortly after that my mother placed me in swimming classes and everything changed.

Point 3 – Stress is a leading cause for bad decisions, and swimming is an easy method for relieving stress.

It has recently become a major problem that needs more attention. According to the Department of Public Health, at the end of the 1990s, the World Bank and WHO released the first global burden of disease study (GBD). This showed that drownings are one of the leading causes of death (Rotterdam). In a more recent GBD, data shows that the global mortality rate from drowning is about 6.8 per 100,000 persons (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation). Accidental drownings are more common among children. Drownings often occur in swimming pools, lakes/rivers, and even bathtubs. Lack of supervision and knowledge are risk factors that contribute to accidental drownings. Due to this, about one in five people who die from drownings are children under the age of 14. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016). Because of the rising numbers of accidental deaths, it has become critical to discover and implement a diverse range of interventions to address the issue of unintentional drownings. This essay will perform an examination of potential interventions to address the issue of accidental drownings in the United States through the use of three main sections: an overview of different strategies to prevent drownings, a list of interventions that have already been put into place, and finally, a deeper investigation of future interventions that could be

Asthma is the tightening of muscles in the trachea resulting in a restriction of breathing. It is common in children and young athletes with around 1 in 9 Australian children suffering. For that 1 in 9 who do suffer there are many implications come with participating in sport. Such implications not only affect the wellbeing of the child but affect their performance in their chosen sporting activity

In 2000-2006 drowning was one of the leading causes of unintentional deaths between the age of 1 and 9 in American children. In 2006 approximately 1100 US children died from drowning. Rates of death by drowning vary by race, age, and gender. The ones at greatest risk are male adolescents. At 1 year old, female children are less likely to drown than a 1 year old male. American Indian, Alaska native and black children have a higher drowning rate than white and Asian American children. The highest death rates in 2000-2006 were in white boys 0-4 years of age and black males 15-19 years of age. Approximately 3800 children younger than 20 visited a hospital emergency room for a nonfatal drowning event in 2008 and over 60% of those kids were hospitalized.

It’s summertime, and the perfect time to hit the pool, or in Colorado even a lake or reservoir. There’s nothing better than a relaxing dip in the cool water on a hot summer’s day. However, did you know that everyday 10 people die from unintentional drowning? Drowning in fact ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the U.S. Additionally, about 1 in 5 people who die from drowning are children ages 14 and younger, and for children in this age group drowning is the 2nd leading cause of unintentional injury death. When you are out enjoying recreational water activities it’s important to be aware of all important safety measures. Sadly, it can take only 20-60 seconds before a drowning victim sinks underwater.

Support 2: Open Swimming- Open swimming like at sea, lake or river can increase the chances of drowning because the water currents are not stable like in pools. They are more dynamic and can pull you along with it. Aquatic animals like Jelly fishes, sharks, crabs, crocodiles, alligator, etc. are other threats as they can harm you physically. You can also injure yourself while diving into shallow water. But these effects can be stopped by swimming at a public pool and most have swim equipment such as pull buoys, kick boards, and fins to help increase your performance.

The Aquatic Centre, found in Sydney has a wide range of facilities which offer hours of enjoyment for each member of the family. The leisure pools in the Aquatic centre are great ways to keep children with disabilities entertained. Water slides, river rapid ride, water volcanoes, spray jets, bubble beach and a toddler’s pool are all things included in the leisure pools. By having all this equipment, the leisure pools are able to cater for people with all sorts of disabilities ranging from intellectual to physical. The pools are also able to over more than just fun and enjoyment, they can assist children with their water safety, as the sooner they are in the water, the more comfortable they will feel and the more confident the family members will be when a child

(2007), reported the main risk factors for childhood drowning, was lack of barriers between dam and children, improper installation of fences around swimming pools. Moreover, there should be constant vigilance of parents and caregivers and they should be educated via various educational programs in order to spread awareness among the risk factors involved in child drowning in swimming pools (Yang, 2007). Kenneth et.al. (1995), reported that if a child is given water safety training during swimming, there are less chances for them to get drowned. A water safety training program is being implemented and was designed for school age children and three set of skills was targeted, deck behavior, how well one can do swimming and water safety skills. Children’s Hospital and Medical Center director gave about 10% of lessons to children and their parents. Positive results and improvements were seen in water recovery skills of children after eight lessons and were associated with swimming ability of the children (Kenneth et. al,
