Swimming zones

It is all very well to mark out swimming zones for the safety of swimmers. However, it is of no use whatsoever if the zones are not patrolled so that offenders can be caught red-handed.

At the very beginning of July a young man came zooming all along Exiles beach (in the swimming zone) from the tower into the bay on a jet-ski, zig-zagging among the swimmers - not only once but twice.

A woman called the police using her mobile but got no help at all. Even if the police had arrived what use would it have been? The young man was gone in a flash.

Need we wait for a horrible accident to happen before we start taking things seriously?
