    No one believes they will drown, yet every day throughout the world, hundreds of people do. Jamie Racklyeft was one of the lucky ones. Here he shares his story of surviving a Great Lakes rip current; launching a water safety community; and exploring ways you can avoid, escape, and safely save others from drowning. Jamie Racklyeft is a Communication Director at the University of Michigan and founder of the Great Lakes Water Safety Consortium. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

    Head Above Water, an Amazon Original four-part docuseries that follows elite Australian swimmers Ian Thorpe AM, Bronte Campbell OAM, and Kyle Chalmers OAM, as well as former-junior-champion-turned-international-musician, Cody Simpson in the lead up to the games in July. Head Above Water will launch on June 4, 2021, on Amazon Prime Video in Australia, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and select countries with its global release later in 2021.

    The series explores how these incredible athletes deal with pressure in and out of the pool and reveal what drives their determination to succeed through personal sacrifice, and grueling training sessions as they vie for a place on the Australian Swimming Team, ahead of the upcoming Games in July. Ian Thorpe shares his before, during, and after journey as an Olympian; Bronte Campbell and Kyle Chalmers hone their skills in a bid to once more represent their country; and Cody Simpson puts his successful music career on hold to return to his first love – competitive swimming.
