Atlantic Pacific: Lifeboats where there are none

Atlantic Pacific: Lifeboats where there are none We are an NGO committed to reducing global drowning.

Atlantic Pacific International Rescue is an NGO with a simple vision; to combat global drowning.

“Drowning is a serious and neglected public health threat claiming the lives of 372,000 people a year worldwide. This death toll is almost two thirds that of malnutrition and well over half that of malaria – but unlike these public health challenges, there are no broad prevention efforts that target

drowning.” (World Health Organisation, Global Report on Drowning: Preventing a Leading Killer, 2014)

Atlantic Pacific is a UK Registered Charity.

10 years ago, one lifeboat changed everything.
This August, we’re marking 10 years of Atlantic Pacific, and looking back at how a single act after the 2011 tsunami grew into a mission to get lifesaving skills into everyone’s hands, everywhere.
Follow along this month as we share the story.

Something worth sharing with your child's school this week.

UK rivers and lakes stay below 15 degrees all year round. Even in August. Most teenagers have no idea. Most adults don't either.

Cold water shock is the body's immediate, uncontrollable response to cold water immersion. It hits within three seconds. Your body gasps before your brain can react. If your head is underwater when that happens, you breathe water straight in. It doesn't matter how well you can swim. It doesn't discriminate.

Most teenagers who die in open water die within the first ten minutes. Not from hypothermia. From cold shock, before anyone can reach them.

The Institute of Humanitarian Action has just launched a free 15-minute assembly on cold water shock, built specifically for young people aged 10 to 19. Any teacher or youth leader can download it right now at www.apiha.org, with no sign-up and no cost. Speaker notes included, ready to deliver this week.

If your child's school hasn't covered this, please share this post with their teacher, their head of year, or your local school Facebook group. It takes 15 minutes to deliver and it could save a life this summer.

Great to see the student’s at UWC Atlantic using our Ocean Revival Workshop to understand the impact of plastics on our environment and ocean and create their own sunglasses from plastic waste produced and collected from the college.

Looking great in your AP sunnies! 😎
