We are so poor in health and safety measures and I do not know how many of our people are going to be lost like this ..please take some measures . You can't create laws for every human behaviours but at least in some measures to limit the incident like this

There should be designated swim areas manned with properly trained life guards during certain hours. Life guard on a watch tower which is a high chair can get view from above of currants or anyone who is swimming dangerously. They have a whistle to warn beach goers to come back to, or evacuate the beach. At other times when there is no life guard close off the beach.
