    Bondi Rescue follows the work of the elite professional Lifeguards who patrol Australia’s busiest beach. This is Australia’s real life Baywatch! Taking the viewers on their journey through mass rescues, drownings, resuscitations, shark sightings, and all number of the weird and wonderful experiences Bondi Beach dishes up.
    In #BondiRescue the audience sees the action through the eyes of real characters and #lifeguards like Hoppo, Deano, Reidy, Jesse, Maxi, Whippet and Harries, as they catch thieves, perform CPR, make drug busts, break up fights, and even handle a navy bomb that washes ashore one afternoon. Every year throws up new and completely unexpected challenges, and how lifeguards adapt is what makes Bondi Rescue a show that’s about much more than swimmers being saved in the surf.

My friend was calling me for help and I, already being in the water maybe 5-10 meters closer to shore, went for him. But he's like 50 lbs heavier than me, although I am a stronger swimmer, I probably couldn't help him. The lifeguard was already on his way and got to him by the time I got to him myself. I might have thanked the lifeguard, I don't remember, but I also remember thinking it was unnecessary for me to have been picked up as well. So my ego might have gotten in the way from thanking him and I can imagine a lot of adults are like that too.

    It astounds me how parents lose their kids. I used to work at Costco, and the number of kids that my co-workers and me would walk up front, or inside from the parking lot, is crazy. The number of parents that would come up to us to say that they can't find their kid, jeez. The worst one were the ones that had not noticed that their kids are missing. One of my co-workers came in from the parking lot with a little boy that had already been out there about 15 minutes. She stayed with him by the exit for about 20 minutes before managers took him to the office. It took another 30 minutes before the father came up to one of the supervisors because he overheard them asking people if they were missing a kid. He had not even noticed he was missing a kid. It's not like he had a bunch of kids with him. There were only two. I understand that kids will wander away, but you are the adult, pay attention.
    I would always argue with my ex- when we went to parties and get-togethers with the kids. Almost always, I was the only adult watching the kids, everyone's kids. I hated hearing, "Come sit down, everyone is watching". No. No they are not. When "everyone is watching", no one sees anything.

    I am a good swimmer, swam before I could walk, but I totally underestimated the Australian water as a 21yr old, coming from Europe used to the Mediterranean Sea. It was seconds when I got into trouble. I even prayed for strength and somehow one foot touched the ground, gave me hope and power and I did make it with every last bit of strength and cried pure gratitude when I reached the beach. Ppl came running but I hardly noticed. My friends took my home and I slept for 14h. I will never forget how with every breath I tried to take, it was water I got instead of air. Never will I let my children be further in the water than I or my husband can stand always with them. No joke for sure. You guys are heroes. ❤

      being a lifeguard one of the worst parts of the job for me was dealing with parents who treat us like babysitters. so many times i saw kids that could’ve drowned or nearly did drown bc their parents weren’t paying attention. even the kids i teach swim lessons to i ALWAYS tell them if they are gonna take their kid to the beach, make them wear a life jacket until they are 12 years old. it sounds silly if you’re a strong swimmer like i was at that age but it’s so much better to be safe than sorry. that extra help to stay afloat could mean life or death.

      I'm not a lifeguard but a paramedic and mountain SAR operator.
      I was a rookie that time when we got sent to retrieve a stranded climbing party.
      I recovered without issue the leading climber; I had been lowered to him from the helo, harnessed him and pulled up.
      We had problem to get the belayer.
      I attached him to the winch cable and gave the order to pull us up.
      We were on the mid way to the helo when we felt a bump through the cable stopping our climb, leaving us stranded over thousand feet.
      The climber clinged on me squeezing my soul out.
      After few seconds, the winch started working again, finally pulling us into the helo.
      The belayer never left even when we were on the helo floor, he took him a minute before stopping hugging me😂😂😂
      His first words were just a "THANK YOU".

Imagine for a second that there were no lifeguards, and then replay the scenes of children in distress through your head...let that sink in and imagine how many lives the sea would claim. It's terrifying! It boils my blood that parents are so carefree when it comes to their little ones. Children are a gift from God and as a parent you are their guardian, take your responsibility more seriously. I recall being pulled out of a swimming pool as a child after losing consciousness from hitting my head - I have not thought about that incident for a very long time but this just brought it all back. So much gratitude to that lifeguard. Thank you and God Bless all the lifeguards! ❤

    As a mom, these always tear me up. Especially the really close ones. And this when Terry breaks down feeling what I described above, after we lost him. I knew at that time that he and his wife lost their baby not that long ago and it made me tear up, and I knew he knows what journey I've been walking on the last 19 months. NOW, watching it, still all the above, but I think of Terry's wife and how she is doing, having them losing their baby, and then losing that same person. My only solace for that, is that Terry is with his son now, watching out for their mom/wife from spirit.

Hopefully this was a lesson learned rather than another example of narcissism at work.

    I'm not a lifeguard but I grew up around water. Nothing as dangerous as this water, mind you, but I was a very strong swimmer.
    My family went on a vacation when I was 8 and the hotel had a waterpark. One of the features of the park was this massive wave pool. I was walking around the edge of the wave pool after getting a cup of ice cream and heading back to my family at a table on the other side of the pool and I saw a boy under a wave sort of thrashing. He was maybe seven or eight feet from the pool's edge. I'm 36 now and the thing I remember the most is how many people were *right next* to this boy and didn't realize he needed help. Apparently that's really common. We see drowning in movies and think it's this big, noisy to-do of screams and dramatic splashing but in reality it's often terrifyingly subtle.
    I jumped in and grabbed him around the shoulders, then towed him to the side and grasped the concrete curve of the edge just as a lifeguard started blowing a whistle. I guess blowing the whistle signals some kind of controller to stop the wave motion of the pool because I remember working very hard to keep the boy's head above water even after having a hold of the side and then the waves stopping and it being almost creepy calm. For all I know the whistle was blown because someone saw an eight year old drop her ice cream and jump into the deep side of the wave pool lol.
    I don't remember who it was, because it wasn't my parents, but someone got me a new ice cream. It's one of my prouder memories because I think I was pretty young to have the reaction I did. Also to sacrifice ice cream. A lifeguard walked me back to my folks and told them what I'd done. They were both proud but my mom was also pretty mad that I hadn't signaled for a lifeguard instead of jumping in myself. The devastatingly handsome lifeguard agreed with her. I guess we all feel like superheroes at that age because I ate my Hero's Ice Cream while staring daggers at my mom and Boyband-Pretty Lifeguard.

He walked away and the waves picked up glowing over our heads and my friend wasn’t a very good swimming so she kept grabbing me. I remember screaming for help and swimming as hard as a I could and my dad was too far away to even hear us. We were so lucky to have a man on a surfboard head us and he brought us to shore.

    I've seen it happen not to me but to other children when parents don't pay attention and leave them exposed to danger.

    I'm from NZ and every summer we used to go to Noosa in Australia for holiday break over Christmas. I was a good swimmer for my age of about 8 or 9 year olds (I'm 35 now). I always remember my family, and friends of family were just having a normal day at the beach body surfing and having fun (between the flags). Next minute just about everyone at the beach was getting pulled out in a flash rip. I tried catching waves in to try get back to shore but just kept getting dumped and then swept back out. My dad and brothers got separated and I was getting slowly pulled out - scariest experience of my life. There were so many people getting pulled out that life guards couldn't get to everyone. I remember just screaming can someone please help me and this rogue surfer just pulled me up onto his board and took me into the beach. I will never forget him and i remember my dad hugging the guy as he got me back onto the beach. My dad and older brother only just made it in on their own. Our family friends dad who was a competitive swimmer at the time got stuck trying to keep his son afloat out deep and almost drowned before the life guards got to them. These guys do an amazing job and seeing these kids getting saved reminded me of this experience.

    I grew up doing years of competitive swimming, love to swim in the Adriatic Sea, thought I could take any sea on.
    Visited my sister on the Canary Islands and took my first swim in the Atlantic ocean.
    It is a whole other experience, not comparable to relative calm of the Adriatic or even Mediterranean Sea. The currents are much stronger and it takes a while to circle back to shore. When the waves were high, even I stayed in the shallows. People need to stop underestimating the power of the ocean and respect it. Whenever you visit an new place, inform yourselves about the precautions you have to take to stay safe in the local enviroment. Bc the locals grew up there, and still get hurt. A newbie stands no chance if they don't educate themselves.
