Raheemullah Jamsheed Mohamed...May Allah accept him as a martyr for indeed death by drowning is a form of martydom and what a noble way to die,attempting to save the life of others. And may God now grant His mercy and ease immensely  on the families and friends of the victims.At least they can still find solace in the fact that in a world full of selfish people their loved ones actually died such heroic deaths.

And yes trained life guards at beaches are definitively a must. Such tragedies needn't occur in the future if the authorities now act fast.
