Diversity and Inclusion in Aquatics Series

A continuation of the discussion from last year's Water Safety Month, thinking about the importance of CPR/First Aid in Water Safety. How might we increase the recognition of its importance and access to training for communities in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Discussing beach safety and all-things-rip with Dr. Rob Brander (aka Dr. Rip) and some of the SLSNZ team.

For this session of Diversity and Inclusion in Aquatics, I am joined by Dr. Chanel Phillips and Dr. Audrey Giles.

As Water Safety Month in New Zealand draws to a close, the Diversity in Aquatics series takes a look at SCUBA.

In this special episode of Diversity in Aquatics during Water Safety Month NZ, I have a wonderful and thought-provoking conversation with Shauna JacksonCrabb, Program Advisor for Aquatics for YMCA in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We compare the Canadian and New Zealand perspectives on a range of topics, from COVID-19 to engagement with indigenous communities.

October 30th is CPR and First Aid Awareness Day as part of NZ Water Safety Month. In this Diversity in Aquatics discussion we focus in on the importance of learning CPR and First Aid when you spend time, in, on or around the water.

This is a pilot of a new series of conversations, focused on Diversity and Inclusion in Aquatics. In this conversation, I catch up with Colleen and Carien from Amanzi Swim Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.

In this conversation, I am joined by Harry Aonga, Leilani Fuemana and Clayton Wikaira as we discuss different perspectives of diversity in aquatics within New Zealand, as well as the great work they all do as part of the Drowning Prevention Auckland team.

In this conversation, I catch up with Tina van Duijn, researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, to discuss our experience as part of the Water Safe Waikato project, and the many lessons we learned related to diversity in aquatics.
