TAP-LLC has been collecting, interpreting, and publishing drowning statistics since 2008. The organization advocates for more people and organizations to actively support drowning prevention efforts. Collaboration and communication are necessary to make a difference. To learn more, please visit the section of our TAP web page that addresses this: https://totalaquatic.llc/drownings-1. TAP-LLC began this data collection effort in 2008 to support successful and sustainable regional, state, and national prevention initiatives.
Real-time and up-to-date information about all forms of drowning is crucial. By learning from the past, we can improve the future. TAP-LLC collects drowning information three to five times each day and publishes six different forms of documents on the first of each month. TAP gathers over 60 pieces of information regarding drownings, including date, state, city or county, age, gender, ethnicity, name of the victim (when available), the body of water, and many categories of “special circumstances.” Having yearly comparisons and current data is essential to support today’s drowning prevention efforts.
TAP-LLC spends over 1100 hours each year collecting the data and putting it into a form that local drowning prevention advocates can use. This amount of hours has a cost that TAP has amortized over the past 15 years with the help of the NDPA. TAP-LLC realizes that only some can contribute, but if you want to support drowning prevention efforts, please see the proposal below. The primary goal is to provide everyone free access to the data collection. TAP-LLC does not want to charge advocates for access to this critical information.
Organizations and companies that allocate funds to philanthropic causes can help support drowning prevention efforts. 100% of any drowning prevention sponsor dollars directly support TAP’s prevention efforts. Sponsorships will be invoiced quarterly or annually.
