Nearly 1,000 Swimmers Take on Long Island Sound for Cancer Research | The Manila Times
Nearly 1,000 swimmers participated in the 34th annual Swim Across America Long Island Sound event on Saturday, raising $2,501,258 for cancer research. The event included 630 open-water swimmers and more than 300 participants in pool swims held across Westchester County in New York. Among the open-water swimmers, 14 completed a 10-kilometer crossing of Long Island Sound from Glen Cove, New York, to Larchmont, while the remaining 616 swimmers took part in 2-kilometer and 5-kilometer shoreline races between the Larchmont Yacht Club and Larchmont Shore Club. About 2,000 spectators gathered along the shore to cheer on participants. The proceeds will benefit Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Columbia University Medical Center, Weill Cornell Medicine and Cancer Support Team. Swim Across America, a national nonprofit founded in 1987, funds cancer research through swimming events around the United States. The organization has raised more than $150 million nationwide.

Seven Strategies To Prevent Drowning – Technical Package for Policy-Makers | World Health Organization (WHO)
Each year, drowning claims more than 300 000 lives globally. Although the vast majority of drowning deaths are preventable, many countries lack the policies, laws and governance mechanisms needed to ensure safe interaction with water. As climate change, urbanization, migration, informal employment and an increasing reliance on water transport reshape patterns of exposure to drowning risk, stronger policy action has never been more important.
The package provides practical, evidence-based guidance to help governments strengthen drowning prevention through policy, law and regulation. It presents seven priority strategies covering physical infrastructure, rescue and resuscitation, occupational safety for work around water, transport safety standards for travel over water, education in basic swimming and water safety, child-care systems and safeguarding, and threat preparedness for floods and other multi-hazard emergencies. Together, these strategies promote a systems approach to reducing drowning while supporting broader health, development and equity goals.
