bathing accidents cannot always be prevented, and the statistics speak a clear language: warnings are often ignored and currents are underestimated. Even if the DLRG provides valuable help through its lifeguards, it often happens that every support is too late. Tragic news about lifeless bodies are not uncommon in the bathing season, and sometimes even the sophisticated water rescue can no longer help, as recent events show.
