We do a great job of keeping people safe on beaches in Australia patrolled by lifeguards and lifesavers, but not such a good job on unpatrolled beaches. Here's my take on the situation - we need to do better and start asking some hard questions theconversation.com/australian-bea…
There's a lot of issues about rip currents and unpatrolled beaches packed in this article - be interested in people's thoughts theguardian.com/australia-news…
👍🏼week with colleagues from around the 🌎 to discuss challenges implementing Rescue & Resuscitation training in low resource areas & develop resources 👀 at: -😱 of 🦠transmission - Re-training - Monitoring programmes - Age appropriate training @RNLI @WHO @RLSSIndia @rlsscw
Great chat with @juliepower of the @smh about my career, beach safety and rip currents over lunch at the @tamaramakiosk Some valuable 'spot the rip' sliders and lessons about rip currents heading into summer smh.com.au/national/nsw/c…
Here's my take on the shark net issue - should we put them in on our beaches or not? I say no...theillawarraflame.com.au/to-save-lives-…

Powerful new research from the @UNSW_BSRG on the emotional and physical response of people caught in rip currents supported by @arc_gov_au and @SLSAustralia Lessons learned from talking to survivors can help future beach safety interventions @unswbees @UNSWScience

Great story by @juliepower with some powerful beach safety messages. The flags are not enough. We need to do more. @UNSW_BSRG smh.com.au/national/nsw/h…
The vast majority of Australian beachgoers are familiar with the ‘swim between the flags’ message, but many choose to ignore it and just tune out when they hear it. But maybe this approach by a local church will have an impact!
We’re live on air in 10 minutes on @abcsydney & @ABCaustralia nationally talking all things water safety from 10-11pm AEDT #DrowningPrevention Listen live here: abc.net.au/radio/programs…
Catch our researchers @Dr_Rip_SOS and @amyepeden live in studio @abcsydney & nationally around Australia on @ABCaustralia Nightlife tonight from 10pm. Please join us as we discuss #DrowningPrevention Listen live here abc.net.au/radio/programs… @UNSWMedicine @unswbees
What a pleasant surprise to see the Think Line beach safety message by @SLSAustralia being shown at a petrol station pump. It all helps!
Near drowning after patrol hours - should we extend lifeguard patrol times during busy holiday period? Bystander used a bodyboard - if you are going to rescue someone, bring something that floats news.com.au/national/nsw-a… via @newscoma
Recent @UNSW_BSRG research about how to keep swimmers safe on unpatrolled beaches has created an interesting debate. It’s a huge issue within the world of beach safety. What should/can we do? m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

… (Continued) we DID find deaths were more likely at *lower* water levels. So, it doesn’t matter if the tide is rising/falling, but when the water is lower, likelihood of a drowning increases. This figure (3) shows the % of cases (bars) compared to non-cases (line). (8/9)
There are some other neat things in the paper, you should check it out – it's open access (free). I’m going to go do some beach safety science field work now (body surf). Thanks again to @Dr_Rip_SOS @DrGregDusek @BrunoCastelle @Dr_Jaz_Lawes & @SLSAustralia @ShaneDaw1 (9/9)

Some weird beach safety messages in this old Pepsi ad from Romania @Dr_Rip_SOS @amyepeden @Dr_Jaz_Lawes @w_a_koon
If it's not the first, it's definitely among the first Pepsi ads in Romania! The TVR producers “did a great job on the creative side” 😆, and Dem Radulescu is one of the best influencers with reach across all age groups! #pepsi
We've joined forces with @poolwerx to remind everyone that no matter where you are around water, staying safe is a priority. Libby Trickett OAM tells us that #watersafety goes beyond the sand & has some tips on how to keep you & your family safe around water. #drowningprevention

1 in 3 people rarely or never look for rips. This summer its vital to STOP, LOOK, & PLAN before entering the water. STOP & check for rips LOOK for other dangers PLAN how to stay safe Get the beachsafe.org.au app for more. #watersafety #drowningprevention #dontrisktherip
On my way to #Safety2022 I got on the bus at the Adelaide airport. It was the right bus, but going the wrong way. Best mistake of the week as I ended up at the beach! An unexpected (and very chilly) swim is just what I needed!
