    Watersafety New Zealand is deeply concerned about the summer drowning rate

    Watersafety New Zealand is deeply concerned about the summer drowning rate


    The holiday drowning death toll is at two after a man was found dead after going missing in Port Waikato.

    A five year old was retrieved from the water following the incident involving a jet ski.

    It came after a person was swept from rocks south of West Auckland's Piha beach.

    Water Safety Chief Executive Glen Scanlon says it's part of a large number for December.

    He says 13 people have drowned this summer.
