Surf Life Saving Victoria is reporting: "Christmas has ended in tragedy with 3 fatal drownings, a further 3 significant incidents, and 48 rescues conducted by lifesavers in just 24 hours.

With temperatures expected to hit 37°C today, we’re urging people to prioritise safety around water.

Your life could depend on it."

I'd like to call out to all the swim teachers who provide safety skills to prevent drownings. They are underpaid, under valued, but their work prevents so many more people from drowning or needing rescue.
