A 34-year-old man drowned at Sydney's Clovelly Beach on the first day of 2019. Bystanders thought the man was snorkelling face down and it was only after he began hitting up against rocks they realised he may be in trouble. Minister for Sport Bridget McKenzie is calling on migrant communities to take up water safety programs and swimming lessons to prevent drownings in Australian waterways. Craig Roberts, National Manager - Aquatic Risk from Royal Life Saving Society Australia, told SBS Mandarin several simple rules can prevent drowning deaths.
