Summer 2022 drowning toll: over one million victims per year
by Virgile Cachon on January 27, 2023
The overall picture is one of increased firefighting and marine response during this 2022 year.
The hot weather has encouraged people to cool off, and swimming has increased significantly this year.
As we have seen, four major heat waves repeatedly have been recorded in Europe, and especially in France this year. And according to meteorologists this phenomenon is set to intensify in the future.
Unfortunately children are thefirst to be affected by drowning drowning incidentsand in many cases, these incidents result in fatalities. The explanation for this increase may be due to containment and health restrictions that prevented swimming opportunities in 2021. But this increase is also relative to safety lapses around watering holes.
Wherever you are, take the supervision of children around water seriously. Having children wear floating swimsuit is avery good reflex. This recognized innovation since the 2000s guaranteeschildren buoyancy, while allowing them to continue playing, and evolving in the awakening phase. After a phase of learning how to use the swimsuitchildren can swim in complete safety, always under adult supervision. What's more, it's a drowning prevention device that thechild cannot remove without parental help.
Hydrocution has also been reported as one of the main risks during swimming. It is a thermal shock uponentry into the water which can cause up to discomfort. That is why it is recommended to children as well as to adults to enter the water gently at the beginning of the swim.
With respect to dry drownings they represent a part of the incidents recorded during the year. It is a respiratory insufficiency caused bywater in the lungs following the absorption of water by oral or nasal way. This phenomenon is much more difficult to detect since it often occurs after swimming and can generate an infection if not treated in time. When in doubt, do not hesitate to go to the emergency room.
There are many incidents that can lead to drowning and it is important to be able to recognize them to avoid them. Reflexes that are sometimes harmless can save lives. For example, long hair should always be tied up when swimming, if only for the heat, the comfort, but also for safety. Just this summer, a death was mourned after a little girl was trapped, her hair sucked through a pool bung. Rescuers were unable to save her.
