Surf Life Saving NSW is urging everyone to swim at patrolled beaches during the Australia Day long weekend after the number of rescues on the NSW Far South Coast tripled as more people than usual chased the sun, sea and sand.

The Far South Coast Surf Lifesavers, which covers 184 beaches between Batemans Bay and Pambula, performed 30 rescues between January and December 2020, compared to just nine during the previous year.
