Water safety is much more than knowing how to swim

from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8

With World Drowning Prevention Day happening tomorrow, we take a closer look locally where beaches, pools and water sports are a big part of family life for much of the year here in the UAE. Experts say say many drowning incidents are preventable through better awareness, closer supervision and understanding the risks before getting into the water. We also revisit the story of five-year-old Kian, who was enjoying a day at his community swimming pool when he silently slipped beneath the water without anyone noticing. Hear the inspiring story of how quick action and CPR helped save his life, and why knowing this lifesaving skill can make all the difference. If you step in to help during an emergency and something goes wrong, could you end up facing legal consequences?     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
