SWIMMING IS LIFE - REDUCING DROWNING RISK FOR CHILDREN
(2015) In Diploma work IDEM05 20152Industrial Design
- Abstract
- Drowning is the second global leading cause
of unintentional injury death for children ages
1 to 14 years, and the fifth leading cause for
people of all ages (excluding flood disasters
and water transport incidents).
Why is the risk of drowning so high?
It is important to investigate existing situation:
what are the reasons that create a danger,
is there a main risk group, how the risk of
drowning can be reduced or even prevented,
what is already in use for drowning prevention
and what is the level of its’ contribution, what
role plays the ability to swim?
Research methods such as interviews,
questionaires, observations, documentary
analysis and other let to explore: various
risk factors, types of common activities and

It is important to investigate existing situation:

is there a main risk group, how the risk of

what is already in use for drowning prevention
and what is the level of its’ contribution, what
role plays the ability to swim?
Research methods such as interviews,
questionaires, observations, documentary
analysis and other let to explore: various
risk factors, types of common activities and
children’s behaviour in the water, functioning
of the existing swimming and buoyancy
equipment and safety aids, conditions of
the water settings, parents’ opinions and
observations and the swimming trainers’
experience.
All findings lead to a discussion what can be
useful and important to take into account in
order to improve the existing situation related
to the safety level of the children activities in
the water
Following the discussion, the design process,
including ideas generation, experiments
and several other methods, it created an
advantage for product development. (Less)
