Each year we collect information from our Poolsafe members, detailing the total attendance at their facilities and the number of incident/accidents, including rescues. These are broken down into non-notifiable and notifiable

These figures are collated and give us an overall picture of how many people are using our Poolsafe facilities and the types of incidents and accidents that occur This data is used to identify trends and to inform changes in policy and procedures which could reduce the rate of incidents This data is also shared with WSNZ to contribute to the overall national picture of water related incidents.

The figures from July 20-July 21 show that aquatic facility attendance numbers went up to 19.5 million. The incident rate was slightly higher than when compared to last year, with one incident occurring for every 2524 visits, compared to the year previous with one incident for every 2433 visits.
