In the past decade 360 people have ventured out to our beaches and never returned home - and sadly the number of people drowning continues to rise each year.
A new report out today reveals 42 people lost their lives on the coast last year, nearly a quarter of whom were out swimming or wading in the water.
The Surf Life Saving National Beach and Coastal Safety report found beach and coastal-related fatal drownings have climbed almost 20 per cent in the last five years with the country s 10-year average now almost 50 per cent greater than Australia s per capita.
