Apparently they jumped in fully clothed, which would have weighed them down.
If you are not familiar around water, panic can set in and you take in water and/sink.
What I don't understand is why they were anywhere near a pool, in the evening with a toddler, if none of them could swim. The news report I saw showed a sign at the entry to the pool with warnings/rules, particularly that no lifeguard on duty after 7pm which is when the drownings occurred. _________________ If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but just grumble with the rest. - Jerome K Jerome |

It's quite bizarre and whilst I struggle with why they drowned we have to understand that most of us have been brought up in or around the water. We are surrounded by it and education in water starts early for most of us. With the recent Apollo Bay drownings we need to educate those coming in as this happens every year.
Approx 15 years ago I was at Sorrento back beach and a Bus pulled up full of Chinese Tourists and they all ran into the water. Here's me screaming at them to get out but alas I was just some idiot that they couldn't understand. Now this wasn't patrolled as the season was over. The result was a massive rescue with Swimmers, Surfers and in the end Police as a few got sucked out by the rip.
I have no idea how we educate those about the dangers but we need to try. |
