all within 24hours



folks are Not learning the warnings

I wondered if it had something to do with people watching open-water swimming at the Olympics.

Yes it looked Fun
for the Professionals in Rio
But going out on a Rock
then the sea comes
over drags you in

The 2 year old who was swept off rocks with her Dad has now died as well, such a tragedy for that family

waves are very unpredictable and every now and then one will come in at twice the size and reach when its stormy. Sneaker waves are very common in certain stretches of beaches

yes double tragedy for that family

The sea is a really dangerous place to swim. Saying that though i love swimming in the sea and the only place i have ever had the fear put into me is the fake beach in Barcelona that was manmade for the 92 Olympics but is now really dangerous.
You can paddle out 3-5 feet just fine then it is like stepping off a cliff with Jagged rocks below and rip tides that scared the **** out of me.

That place is deadly and you would never know. No warnings no Lifeguards nothing i saw a few people pulled out of the sea there by members of the public.

More deaths just reported
3 Men pulled from the Sea
at Camber Sands, E. Sussex

2 more dead pulled from the sea


So its 5 Dead in all from yesterdays hot day at camber sands

Tragic

police just stated the 5 men were from Greater London
not locals to Camber Sands. E. Sussex

5 friends on a day trip including 2 brothers, so tragic

Camber Sands is my nearest beach, so this was quite a shock

Yes no Life Guards needed
but because of these 5 from London
who sadly went out to far
and Died

The RNL are putting a new review on that beach

Police were on the beach today
A Local Council women
said she wants Life Guards
and rip tides were not expected.
Fantastic beach

playing with a ball on low tide
then the rip tide sneaks in.

They were saying on the news that the sands have rolling dunes, and when the tide comes in it can create areas of deep water.

Yes so much sand
the sea comes in round the back of them
if only they were not so far out.

There are signs at the start of the beach.

That's horrific, I can't understand why something as dangerous as that wasn't signposted? The families will sue and I can't blame them

It is at the start of the Beach.

These 5
were out in the sand too far


Its was their own fault
sadly

They must have been miles out to be engulfed like that, so sad

I was at the beach last week and there were some swimmers who came round the corner from out of nowhere onto the beach. They each had a large fluorescent float attached to them with a 10-foot rope dragging behind them in the water and if they needed to stop for a minute, they pulled it in and used it for support (it had handles on the sides). I've never seen one before but I was thinking, that's a really sensible safety precaution? Should be standard for swimming in the sea IMO. For one it clearly marked their location and, and it could also be used to stay afloat if anyone got into trouble.

Lifeguards To Patrol
Camber Sands After
Five Men Died

It's a shame they have to wait for deaths to happen before putting this in place, there was already a petition with 4000 sigs on it before the recent tragedies

its criminal that there are not an adequate number of lifeguards at every public beach. In many countries its a legal requirement, why not here? Swimming pools have lifeguards yet the sea is a much more dangerous environment. Its crazy :crazy:

Camber Sands is one of my local beaches, used to go most days during the summer holidays.. It's a scary place if you're taking kids or if you can't swim properly. The tide moves in at walking pace sometimes and loads of people who can't swim properly stick to the shallow water which goes out really far, but they don't realize how far out they are once the tide starts going in and if you get caught in between sand bars which suddenly go deep then you're pretty screwed. And it's ridiculous how they never have any lifeguards there
