Anecdotally a lot of deaths are due to people who can't physically swim. You see their friends regularly starring in Bondi Rescue. A lot of times the media will dramatise the swell even if they just slipped on a rock and fell in. I don't for one second deny bad conditions claim many lives just emphasising that if you can't swim be careful on rocks or near deep water if you fall. It's frustrating to see people die when a buoyancy vest would have saved them. Nearly as frustrating as bike, skate.., scooter riders with no helmets on.
