The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) spokesperson, Craig Lambinon, explained they responded to a call on Saturday afternoon when it was reported that four children from the local area had gone for a swim. He said three of the children disappeared under the water. 

All emergency services were alerted and following an intensive search the police recovered the bodies of the three children.

Condolences have been sent to the families of the deceased children, who are being supported by police counselling services.
