"The Drowning Report" by NDPA & TAP LLC

TAP LLC & NDPA joins together to improve the collection of drowning data

Total Aquatic Programming and National Drowning Prevention Alliance Board of Directors have joined together to improve the "The Drowning Report" data. Please read further to learn more about the new process that is coming soon.

We have been collecting drowning data since 2008. This process involves about 1100-man hours per year plus cost for programs and support. Recently we have faced the following challenges:

Some of the thousands of websites we visit for our report data have now started charging subscription fees. While these are only .99 cents a week they add up over the period of a year.
Due to the number of sites, we use for information and reports, we have been exposed (multiple times) to viruses and have had to move to enterprise grade protection.
Our users have requested many features that we were not able to offer before: custom reports, online searchability, ease of access and more.

It is time for TAP-LLC to update the way we collect and present data. This has a cost that we cannot totally absorb, and after talking to many users it is too important to just lose! We are moving to a subscription-based model. $99.95 per year will get you all the information you are used to plus:

Report filtering options
Custom reports (emailed on a customer set schedule)
Ability to submit drownings (requires approval)
Online and accessible 24/7 – no more waiting for the first of the month
Enhanced field logic
Alert notifications (new drownings in your area)
Much, Much More!
All this for less than $9 per month.

The drowning report will continue in its current form until all programming and testing is completed on the new system. We will notified everyone when completed and ready to access.

Thank you for your patients.

TESTIMONY JUN NAOTSUKE, WATER RECREATION PROGRAM MANAGER WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT

"I just wanted to let you know that I download your data every month and have been compiling data for Washington State. I use your data to talk about drowning cases in Washington. I was able to see that we had about twice as many drownings in Washington this summer compared to typical years possibly due to COVID-19 though it is difficult to identify any causal relationships.

Your work is precious as there is no one else who is doing this kind of work. Thank you and keep up the great work!"
