More than 230 people have been rescued off Victoria’s beaches since the start of the summer lifeguard patrol season, with more than half of those brought to shore since Christmas Day.

The high number of rescues has prompted urgent warnings from Life Saving Victoria after lifeguards and lifesavers rescued 21 beachgoers on Friday.
