In this episode, Nicole and Wes sit down with Annabelle, BSN, to expose the real story behind the leading cause of accidental death in children ages 1–4 and the rising drowning rates across Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas.Annabelle brings a powerful nurse’s perspective as we break down: • Why toddlers (1–4) have no fear and no cognitive ability to recognize danger • The false sense of security families get from puddle jumpers and floaties • How nurse-led community education can transform drowning prevention • The shocking gaps in EMS documentation and why near-drownings go untracked • What better data, better advocacy, and better awareness could do for our communitiesThis is an honest, human, and deeply needed conversation about a crisis that touches healthcare, aquatics, and public safety at every level. If you want to understand the problem — and be part of the solution — this episode will change the way you see water safety forever.Support the show🔴 Follow Your Host on TikTok: Stay connected and see behind-the-scenes content by following me on TikTok at @NicoleFairfield. 💬 Find Wesley King on Facebook: Get expert insights and connect with Wesley at Wesley King Consulting on Facebook. ❓ Got Questions?: Have questions about today’s episode or upcoming topics?
