Facts About Drowning in South Africa
** Drowning statistics in South Africa are generally poorly monitored and recorded but according to the information available, more than 600 drowning’s take place every year. The majority of these are children between the ages of one and four years. More shocking is the fact that, on average, six children drowns in residential swimming pools every month; this being while under some form of supervision.
** One of the scariest statistics, according to Netcare 911, is that for every child who dies by drowning, five are left with permanent brain damage as a result of the prolonged lack of oxygen. It takes only four minutes without oxygen for irreversible brain damage to occur.
** Drowning is listed as one of the top causes of unnatural deaths among children in South Africa. At the same time, these unfortunate events are actually preventable. An estimated 70% of the South African population are not good swimmers and less than 20% of previously disadvantaged people can swim.
** Contrary to common belief, most drowning incidents do not occur on the coast during holidays when large numbers of bathers descend on beaches. Instead, most incidents occur in fresh water; in other words private and public swimming pools, dams and rivers.
** Coastal incidents involve mostly children between the ages of ten and eighteen, while inland the majority of victims are children between the ages of two and eight years.
