We need to have life guards on all our major beaches around the island . Condolences to his family.
So sad. Why don’t the authorities make swimming a part of the PE curriculum. I’ve never seen someone dying from not being able to play cricket or football. But I see many people dying annually from not being able to swim.
just saying…you can be a good swimmer and still die…from many articles i have read here in the past as indicated by family members……………..?????
juss saying in a structured setting you would learn very essential life saving techniques.
How many good swimmers know what to do if you encounter a rip tide?
Totally agree with you Just Saying
