Beware New Zealand's "Swim Reaper"

  • 7 years ago
If you're going for a swim in New Zealand's oceans, watch out for the
"Swim Reaper."

A man has been hanging around New Zealand swimming spots dressed as the Grim Reaper. But don't worry — he's there for a good purpose.

The Swim Reaper is part of the government's water safety campaign aimed at reducing the number of drownings each year. He's recently become an Instagram star, spreading the message: "Swim dumb and you're done."
