Brussels, (Brussels Morning)- In recent years, every summer a resident of Brussels drowned while swimming in open water. Last weekend, a Molenbeeker drowned while swimming in the recreation area ‘De Plas’ in Houthalen-Helchteren. The victims were often unable or insufficiently able to swim or were surprised by the current or cold. “A large-scale campaign on swimming safety is needed,” says BRUZZ. “People are going to seek refreshment. Accidents will certainly follow.”
In recent years, unfortunate inhabitants of Brussels regularly made the news because they drowned in open water.
