• Description:
  Why teach cold water survival? According to the National Safety Council, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death among children nationwide. U.S. Coast Guard statistics from 1998 show that 80% of the boaters who drowned were not wearing a personal flotation device (PFD). Using the information and activities in this volume, you can help children and young adults learn how to prepare for cold water activities and increase their chances of survival in a cold water emergency. Your students can learn how to be survivors instead of statistics! How to Use Volume 2: Cold Water Safety and Survival: Cold Water Safety and Survival contains three units presenting the latest information on: 1. hypothermia, 2. personal flotation devices, and 3. cold water survival. Whether you are teaching one lesson, a semester, or a year-long program, this volume provides information and activities needed to cover cold water safety and survival. Although Cold Water Safety and Survival can stand alone from the other volumes, its information and activities are sequential; each unit assumes knowledge of the material in the preceding unit. Pool and cold water activities are recommended as the culminating events in this volume. [Description provided by NIOSH]
