Kids can drown without a sound

A literature review identified portable pools as a high-risk location for child drowning and near drowning.

Discussions with bilingual workers, key informants and focus group participants also identified the need for water safety education among culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities.

This brochure raises awareness of the safety issues associated with portable swimming pools and the legal requirement for fencing to English and non-English-speaking community groups.
