How remote swimming pools will prevent drownings
The Y NT has just opened a pool in Borroloola and is set to open another pool in Ngukurr in early November to help reduce rates of children drowning.Statistics from Royal Life Saving Australia show First Nations children aged 5-14 years are 2.9 times more likely to drown than non-Indigenous children.Data shows these children are at greater risk due to lower levels of swimming skills and water safety knowledge, combined with living in a remote location near waterways, according to The Y NT.Access to water safety education and swimming lessons are therefore crucial “to closing the gap” and ensuring children learn how to be safe in and around water.
