Description

As summer approaches, parents are warned of increased drowning risks during school holidays. Queensland Children’s Hospital reports forty-five drowning cases last year, with half in pools and two-thirds involving children under five. Doctor Holmes emphasizes constant adult supervision, CPR knowledge, and staying within arms length of young children. Surf Life Saving Queensland urges beachgoers to swim between red and yellow flags, assess conditions, and understand swimming limitations.
