Sharing a near-drowning experience is poignant during current heatwave

Sir, – I want to thank Lara Marlowe for sharing her near-drowning experience with her readership.

During the current heatwave, her article is all the more poignant regarding water awareness and safety.

I wish her a full recovery. – Yours, etc,
