PREVENT DROWNING SAVE LIVES
Our mission is to provide professionals who implement aquatic prevention and safety in swim schools. Drowning prevention can and should start in swimming lessons within the swimming school.
Our priority is not instruction, but rather making the child live experiences that nurture knowledge and search for the broader paths of wisdom, in order to meet the needs and challenges they encounter in the aquatic environment.

World Conference on Drowning Prevention
SIW was present at WCDP2019, represented by the creator of the methodology, with the objective of promoting aquatic safety by teaching swimming and safety skills taking into account the child’s development, abilities and limits. The pillars for skill creation and learning are based mainly on the factors that influence the ability to swim/drown in an unexpected situation and the causes of drowning. Also at the World Conference, our founder participated in a meeting of drowning prevention specialists to research the typical behaviors of a person in distress in the aquatic environment. From this meeting resulted an article already published “The visible Behavior of Drowning Persons: a pilot observational study using Analytic Software and a Nominal Group Technique” published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health [IJERPH].
