22Oct2020 - Drowning Walmer Country Club

The CWR squad was activated for a second time on Thursday 22 Oct at 14H01 following reports of a drowning in progress at the Walmer Country Club.

Arriving on scene (dam at the southwestern edge of the golf course) it was found that friends had been swimming and attempted to cross the dam. One person got into trouble in the middle of the dam, which was filled with vegetation and long grass.

CWR swimmers were deployed to start a search and continued searching for about 30 mins. Due to the difficulties experienced in the water CWR swimmers handed over to the SAPS Divers to perform an underwater search. The SAPS Divers recovered the casualty after a lengthy and difficult underwater search.
