I am sure that I heard, that we (NZ) have more drownings this summer period, than Australia does.
It seems that, at the moment, there's drownings every day.
These have to all be down to human error, surely. So, are people just taking more risks?
I still believe that it is down to the tiredness of lockdowns, the stress of them, and people never being able to relax, and now suddenly, we have all this freedom, and we are a water loving country, with all costs within cooee of each other.
On the news the other night, the CEO of Water Safety NZ, said that if we are going into the water, we need to learn to be able to float, and for a period of time, if we get into trouble in the water. I imagine that is easier to say than do, but being prepared in this way, could surely have saved some of these people.
It is just an ongoing daily tragedy, that should not be happening.

Be the kind of woman, that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the devil goes "oh crap, she's up".
