Deputy Commissioner Pelenatita Fe’ao Vaisuai says being safety conscious takes a little time but ensures a life time of fun in, on or under the water.
Vaisuai issued the statement as police investigate two drowning cases reported this week.
A nine year old boy, who was swimming with a group of people at the causeway between Tu’anekivale and Holeva in Vava’u died on Wednesday.
