DIA Newsletter- September 2018

DIA Newsletter September 2018 Issue View this email in your browser Greetings Aquatic and Community Leaders!    We invite you to join us this year at our 2019 Diversity in Aquatics Convention, April 12-14, 2019 held at the beautiful Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay Hotel.  The Diversity In Aquatics Convention (DIA) is our annual flagship program aimed to bring together one of the most extensive collection of diverse and passionate aquatic experts, professionals, athletes, and enthusiasts in the nation/world. The focus of Diversity In Aquatics is on empowering communities through education and involvement in aquatic physical activities, water safety awareness and drowning prevention efforts in traditionally underrepresented communities and vulnerable populations.  The 2019 Diversity In Aquatics Convention in Miami, Florida provides the opportunity for participants to serve as a think tank on progress in addressing "Drowning" as a "Neglected Public Health Threat" as outlined in the World Health Organization's (2018) Global Report on Drowning.    This year marks the 11th year of the establishment of Diversity In Aquatics and our 7th Convention where we will continue to build and grow our mission of saving lives. The 2019 DIA Convention theme, "Unite In Action", reflects the challenges in addressing the burden of drowning in traditionally underrepresented communities while developing solutions and action plans to make a difference, focusing on the following areas: ● Increasing Knowledge and Awareness   ○ History of aquatics in underrepresented communities ○ Research symposium and presentations on best practices and culturally relevant education ● Broadening Prevention Education and Aquatic Programming ○ Expanding water safety education and drowning prevention ○ Sport specific focused efforts of the Aquatic Councils   ● Creating Partnerships and Community Collaborations ○ A national leadership summit with the American Red Cross ○ Think tank with a body of experts providing advice and ideas on aquatics     We hope you will be a part of our growing number of aquatic ambassadors who are gaining insights into best practices that can increase diverse participation and decrease the drowning statistics, while working with nationally recognized organizations and governing bodies of aquatic sports under the United States Olympic Committee.     In addition to our member-centered workshops, research sessions, and implementation of cutting-edge aquatic programs and strategies, Diversity in Aquatics has partnered with the American Red Cross to create a National Diversity Leadership Summit. The summit will bring together diverse organizations as well aquatic professionals focused on working to create solutions towards both the organization's missions of increasing water safety education and safe participation in aquatic physical activities.   Lastly, don't forget to bring your aquatic gear, as it is a tradition of ours, for attendees to get in the water and experience for themselves new aquatics skills and disciplines (scuba demo, open water swimming, deep water running, triathlon/multi-sport training, rowing, etc.).     To register for the: Diversity In Aquatics Convention 2019 "Unite in Action" - Miami, FL.   Web Registration: DIVERSITYINAQUATICS.COM/CONVENTION  Click Here For Hotel Registration at a special $169.00/night    See you in Miami, FL in 2019!   Diversity In Aquatics  Featured Highlights April 12-14, 2019 7th Diversity In Aquatics Convention Upcoming Aquatic Events The Coaching Corner & Training Tips Water Safety Tips  What's On Our Shelf!

It takes just seconds for him/her to be in serious trouble. Assign a Water Watcher so there are never questions about which adult is responsible for watching the child and be aware of the distractions unique to the winter months: holiday parties, house guests, etc. Educate Others – When traveling to relatives' and friends' homes they may not understand the importance of keeping gates closed, doors locked, closing toilet seats, emptying buckets, etc. Visiting family, holiday parties and celebrations can lead to breakdowns in routine supervision and effective barriers to the water. If a child is missing, look for him or her in the pool or spa first. Decoration Hazards – Decorations and lights can pose problems with young children around the house and water. Watch for lights and electrical cords around water, make sure no outside decorations provide a means for a child to climb over a fence or open a locked gate. Maintain Pools in the Winter – Keep pools well maintained with clear water even if it is too cold to swim. If someone falls in, they can be   seen and be helped faster. – Pool covers need to be drained of accumulated rain water and free of debris. – Ensure any pool and spa you use has compliant drain covers, and ask your pool service provider if you       do not know. Hot Tubs – Install and use a lockable safety cover on your spa. Supervision must be one adult per child due to the high temperatures and turbulence of the water in a hot tub. When young children are in the hot tub, keep the temperature below 90 degrees Fahrenheit and limit exposure to less than ten minutes. Fencing – Install a four-foot or taller fence around the pool and spa use self-closing and self-latching gates; ask your neighbors to do the same at their pools. Survival Swimming Lessons – The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states, "lessons may actually reduce the risk in drowning for children ages 1-4 years old." Infant Swimming Resource goes beyond traditional swimming instruction, by teaching children aquatic survival skills designed to help them survive should they reach the water alone.
