As Australia’s summer temperatures rise, so do the number of drownings on the sunburnt nation’s picturesque beaches. According to Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA), four children aged 11 to 15 years lost their lives to drowning on Aussie beaches since Dec.6. A total of nine deaths in December have been due to coastal drowning.
Among the main culprit behind these deaths are rip currents, which according to the SLSA are the number one hazard on Australia’s beaches.
