Paramedics treated nine people in one day last week for swimming-related injuries, including one near drowning in the Yarra River.

According to Ambulance Victoria four adults, four teenagers and a child were taken to hospital after separate incidents at various beaches and the Yarra on Sunday, January 17.

The incidents follow a warning from peak water safety organisation Austswim that safety was more than just an ability to swim laps.
