Since the start of summer, 33 people have lost their lives to drowning in Australia. With drowning trending upwards since the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Australian Water Safety Council has released a new Australian Water Safety Strategy 2030, strengthening national efforts to reduce drowning deaths by 50 per cent by the end of the decade.
