Sector Strategy 2025

The information on incidents is based on those that have been reported to Recreation Aotearoa from Poolsafe Facilities.

In the 2020-21 year we had 2 fatal drownings and 5 non-fatal drownings of children under the age of 10 years. Parental/guardian supervision was a contributing factor in these incidents occurring.

Other fatalities were linked to medical events, although facilities don’t always receive the cause of death at the time of reporting.
