I have been to Alice Lake many times, and I see paddle Boarders and other swimming devices used without life jackets and people are swimming, paddling, boating alone. There should be a rule made, and that is to never sim alone, and to wear a life jacket or swimming belt. This is not the first drowning , in 2018 a 20 year old drowned. So it does not matter how old you are, be safe
