Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ) said the tragedy stemmed from a number of serious incidents on the Sunshine Coast on Saturday.
« Our thoughts go with the families of the two men today, » said Aaron Purchase, Regional Operations Manager, SLSQ Sunshine Coast.
The incident was « a tragic reminder to only ever swim between the red and yellow flags so lifeguards and lifeguards are available if you get in trouble, » he said.
« If you need to swim in a secluded location, stay near the beach and stay waist-deep. However, the safest place to swim is in a controlled location between the red and yellow flags. «
