Sources we track.
This is where the work comes from. We add and remove sources as our editors read more widely. Being on this list does not imply endorsement, and being off it does not mean we will not curate from it.
Lifesaving governing bodies
National and international organisations that set lifesaving standards. We prefer their handbooks and position papers over third-party summaries.
Swimming governing bodies
The federations that run the sport, set the technical rules, and publish coach education material.
Coaches and technique publications
Practitioners who teach in the open, with traceable track records.
Research and sport science
Peer-reviewed and practitioner-accessible research. We link to open-access versions where possible.
Water safety and drowning prevention
Public-health organisations and campaigns focused on prevention.
