Aquaphobia: how to overcome your fear of water?

The numbers are clear. After a wasted year of prevention, this summer was particularly dramatic in terms of drownings. The Drowning 2021 Survey by Santé Publique France reveals high figures for the summer 2021, with 1447 drownings recorded. Faced with this danger, the swimming school Swim Stars shares anti-drowning tips and course the SELF-RESCUE® course .
A total of 1,447 drownings occurred in France between June 1 and August 8, 2021, including 700 accidental drownings, of which 168 (24%) resulted in death. This phenomenon is explained by the lifting of sanitary restrictions, as well as a bad apprehension of the physical capacities of the bathers following a long period of successive confinements.
If we look at the number of accidental drownings in relation to the different age groups, children under the age of 6 are unfortunately the most affected with a total of 25% of drownings.
Drownings involve other age groups. In addition to youth, 163 people (23%) aged 65 and over suffered an accidental drowning. In this age group, the main cause is the lack of learning to swim; the study counts that 54% of them do not know how to swim.
Learn survival reflexes with Auto rescue
Drowning is the first cause of death by accident of everyday life; 45% of drownings concern children under 6 years old and most of them take place in private swimming pools. That’s why Swim Stars has made safety its credo.
“We created the anti-drowning program AUTO-RESCUE® program, accessible to children as young as 3 years old, in order to teach them survival reflexes in case of a fall as well as the basics of swimming,” explains Olivier Chazot, founder of Swim Stars.
Indeed, Swim Stars swimming lessons aim at reducing the number of drownings in France.
We learn to swim and be safe in the water all year round! The Swim Stars national network of swim schools offers year-round lessons for all ages and levels. From baby swimmers as young as 6 months, to the AUTO-RESCUE® anti-drowning program for 3 year olds, to the Learn to swim program for 5 year olds, to the Perf classes for children and adults, as well as classes for aquaphobic adults and beginners.
