India and Vietnam are among the top 10 birth countries of people who drown in Australia. This study aimed to understand how Asian adults living in Australia develop health literacy in relation to swimming ability and water safety and how these skills are implemented in different aquatic environments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three men and nine women between 20 and 79\u2009years old born in India and Vietnam and living in Victoria, Australia were recruited using convenience and snowball sampling.

First, there were cultural differences in how participants related to aquatic environments in their birth countries compared to Australia and the impact this had on their health literacy. Secondly, family influence on perceptions of aquatic environments determined participants' perception of risk and safety in aquatic environments. The last theme related to the differences in access, affordability and availability of swimming and water safety education and how this impacted participants' swimming ability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A multisectoral approach is recommended involving councils, key multicultural organisations and community leaders to increase awareness of drowning prevention related health literacy within Asian communities and to implement targeted water safety education and swimming programmes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>So What<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Targeted education, engagement and co\u2010designing programmes with community leaders are needed to respond to the emerging trend of fatal drowning in Asian communities in Australia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpja.70163","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,8]],"date-time":"2026-03-08T22:57:01Z","timestamp":1773010621000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Exploring the Swimming and Water Safety Behaviour Among Indian and Vietnamese Adults in Australia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3360-5910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lian","family":"Low","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health and Social Development, Faculty of Health Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3416-5690","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hannah L.
