David will be asking the question: Drowning – Can we get to zero harm in spa and pools?
Although rare, drowning in and around the home and at leisure facilities such as hotels and gyms continue to be a burden.  This talk explores some of the recent trends and highlights key lessons that designers, managers and parents can apply.  We will look at experiences from UK swimming pools, which for the first time, in 2012, reported zero deaths in lifeguarded pools, what the Australian and French approaches of using mandatory fencing and regulations have taught us, and finally what we could and should reasonably do to reduce harm further in the UK.
