Plea to keep children safe at Durban beaches
Durban - Waterproofing your children this festive season is a matter of life and death. Craig Lambinon, spokesperson for the National Sea Rescue Institute , stressed the importance of learning to swim. “Adults who are supervising children in or near water must be able to swim. This is vital if it’s around water that doesn’t have lifeguards on duty.
“It’s extremely dangerous to get into the water to rescue someone, so rather throw something that floats to the person in difficulty and call for help,” he said. Lambinon explained that often people trying to rescue someone in danger put themselves at risk too, creating more difficulty for rescuers. “Tragically, sometimes we aren’t able to get there in time and someone drowns. Often the person who doesn’t survive is the kind person who went into the water to try to help a person who was in difficulty,” he said.
