🦦 BIG NEWS FROM THE AUSTINMER OTTERS WINTER SWIMMING CLUB! 🦦

The Austinmer Otters Winter Swimming Club are delighted and proud to announce the purchase of a new Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for the benefit of our club, members, and the wider community.

Safety has always been a priority for our club, and this important investment means we are now even better prepared should a medical emergency ever occur at the beach or ocean pool during our winter swimming season.

While we sincerely hope it is never needed, having an AED readily available can make a life-saving difference.

Did you know? Studies show that having an AED on-site can dramatically increase the survival rate of a person experiencing Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) from approximately 10% to more than 50–70% when deployed within the first three to five minutes.

In addition to protecting our members, the AED will also be available to support the broader Austinmer community while the Otters are gathered at the beach on competition days.

This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to the wellbeing, safety, and care of everyone who enjoys our beautiful local beach and ocean pool.

❤️ A safer club. A safer community. One more way the Otters look after each other.

🦦💙🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️.
