abstract="The authors presented a poster at the International Life Saving Foundation's World Conference on Drowning Prevention 2019 in Durban, South Africa titled, &quot;Finding an Aquatic Voice,&quot; that was the basis for this article. The conference theme was &quot;Growing Global Drowning Prevention Capacity,&quot; and the aim of our poster's contribution to the conference was to explore internal reasons for the variable capacity of water-wary persons to engage in water experiences which often manifest as a &quot;water entry and exit conundrum.&quot; The paper provides critical decision points associated with these issues to encourage further reflective practice by aquatic professionals. The poster triggered interest from a wide range of aquatic professionals. The paper intends to generate support for vulnerable persons and their instructors as a silent manifesto on the pool deck. A need for tools to create support for autotelic approaches has not been explored before and this paper starts to lay out a scientific case for why it matters.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
