The article from SunLive discusses the implementation of beach patrols and safety measures at Waihī Beach in response to recent drownings. The Waihī Beach Lifeguard Service, in collaboration with Surf Lifesaving New Zealand, has increased patrols and is providing safety advice to beachgoers. Key points include warnings about the dangers of unpatrolled beaches, the importance of swimming between the flags where lifeguards are present, and the need for awareness of changing water conditions. The article also highlights the role of the community in water safety, urging people to look out for each other, especially children, and to understand the risks associated with the beach environment. Additionally, it mentions the availability of rescue equipment like inflatable rescue boats and rescue tubes, and encourages visitors to check safety signs and ask lifeguards for advice.
