ABSTRACT
‘Nobody chooses to drown’ – an interesting point for discussion! Of course, this statement is not exclusively true. However, the majority of people who find themselves in difficulty in the aquatic environment, which can ultimately result in death, do so unintentionally. The media all too often report accidental fatalities that occur from a seemingly harmless day out at the seaside. The impact of a drowning, in particular of a young person, is devastating and emotive.
