Water safety refers to the practices and precautions taken to prevent accidents and injuries related to water activities and environments. This includes ensuring that bodies of water are safe for recreational use, implementing safety measures at pools and beaches, and educating individuals on how to swim safely and respond in emergency situations. Research in this area may focus on factors contributing to water-related accidents, the effectiveness of safety regulations and interventions, and ways to promote water safety awareness and education in communities. Ultimately, the goal of water safety research is to reduce the number of drowning incidents and improve overall safety for individuals in and around water.
