We welcome submissions dealing with any aspects of rowing, swimming, sailing, diving, surfing, fishing, canoeing and any other recreational or competitive maritime, riverine or other aquatic sporting activity, including the practices, participants, organisation, or institutions of aquatic sport. We particularly encourage submissions dealing with issues, practices, and cultures outside Europe and North America.

The theme of this special issue is “Building a Community of Champions” highlighting and promoting a civic engagement perspective which engages, advocates, and supports communities of Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) in addressing the national, regional, and local evolving health-related issue of drowning. Aquatic Settings have been a pivotal focal point of social justice, water safety, and public health not only in the past but our present

The "AQUATIC LIFE" project focused on strengthening the Nordic-Baltic cross-sectoral cooperation in the field of swimming teaching and water safety education for children in order to develop the quality of water competency education and contribute to better drowning prevention in both Baltic and Nordic countries.

This special issue provides a platform to share findings from empirical research (including quantitative, qualitative, intervention, or community-based studies), theoretical papers, educational articles, research notes and critical essays. Analyses of aquatic sport, water safety education policy and practices from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives are encouraged.
