Drowning risk increases 4x on a public holiday. As we head towards another long weekend with Anzac Day, it’s even more critical to take necessary precautions. It could be the difference between a good day out and tragedy. Take extra care. It helps our emergency services a lot.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

If you’re doing any activities around the water, be it rock fishing, boating, SUPing, or anything else on the water, remember to wear a life jacket. It could be a lifesaving decision. Always check the weather and swell conditions before heading out to the ocean.
