This is an editorial, not an encyclopedia article, however well-researched it may be. Possibly some of the less polemic material could be incorporated in a general article on water safety. Mangoe (talk) 14:28, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete The article consists of the information that New Zealand has a high rate of drownings. This in itself does not seem worthy of an article.  The rest is a lot of "how to" information to improve water safety.  This should be included in Water safety since it is not specific to New Zealand.  Kitfoxxe (talk) 14:53, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * delete the opening statement is a massive uncited claim and then uses original research to blame it on lack of swimming education in schools which again is unqualified. The article also uses WP:SYNTH with its interpretation of statistics. LibStar (talk) 16:11, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
