Death at swimming hole
(
ABC News)
A report is being prepared for the coroner after a teenager died after jumping into a popular swimming spot in Sydney s south-west.
Police say the 15-year-old boy dived into The Basin in Kentlyn with three others but failed to resurface after entering the water.
Cliff diving is common at the waterhole but Royal Life Saving Australia s Justin Scarr said the death was a tragic reminder of the dangers involved. People underestimate the risks associated with swimming in inland waterways like rivers and lakes. Often the surface looks calm and still but below the surface can be all sorts of snags and hidden rocks and often currents and those currents can get people into significant trouble, he said.
