UNSW Sydney Surf Scientist Professor Rob Brander says people aren’t swimming between the flags at beaches and subsequently drowning due to them wanting to swim closer to accommodation and have quieter beaches.
“When a lot of people go on holiday at the North or South coast, a lot of the beaches they’re staying at are completely unpatrolled,” Mr Brander told Sky News Australia.
“This concept called the think line, that if you go to a beach, any beach whether it’s patrolled or not you need to stop and think when you hit the beach and you think about safety.”
