Audrey Meadows – glamour shot
I have been watching television since the mid-1950s, several hundred series, many of them sitcoms, yet I still rank The Honeymooners (1955-56) very near the top of the heap. Like most viewers, I appreciate witty, sharp scripts above anything else, yet the more I watch my collection of this remarkable series, the more I realise that its appeal lies not so much in exceptional writing, but in exceptional performances from its stars. And I do not mean only Jackie Gleason and Art Carney. Audrey Meadows is their equal in scene after scene. In fact, I consider her to be my all-time favourite female television performer, yet she only landed the role of Alice Kramden by the skin of her teeth. Gleason thought she was far too pretty for the role when he rejected her, so Audrey promptly hired a photographer to take shots of her dressed in frumpy clothes, devoid of make-up, with her hair in curlers and sporting a world-weary look on her face. When Jackie received the photos he did not recognize Audrey at all and insisted the studio hire the girl in the pictures.
Jackie Gleason, Art Carney & Audrey – The Honeymooners
Audrey was the daughter of missionaries, her father being an Episcopal minister. ‘For fourteen years my family lived in China, in a city called Wuchang’, she said. ‘We four children spoke Chinese before we spoke English. We left when the communists came, in the early 1930s. I was about five years old.’ She was the youngest sister of actress Jayne Meadows. Fans of City Slickers might recall Jayne playing the mother of Mitch (Billy Crystal).
Wilma & Fred Flintstone based on Alice & Ralph Kramden
Audrey’s shrewd manager anticipated the prospect of reruns, even in the earliest days of television, and convinced her to have a residual payments clause included in her contract when she was picked up for the series. Consequently, any future reruns of The Honeymooners would see her paid royalties throughout her life. She was the only member of the cast to do this. The series was filmed in front of a ‘live’ audience of 1,400 at the Adelphi Theatre, edited and shown later. Whenever Gleason forgot his lines he would pat his stomach and be fed them by a prompt. Audrey loved working with him and was disappointed when he refused to make a second season in spite of the show’s enormous popularity. He felt the writers had exhausted all humorous ideas for the series. Incidentally, the four main characters became the prototypes for The Flintstones animated series.
Ralph outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal, NYC
In August 2000, the TV cable channel in New York City paid for a statue of Ralph Kramden to be erected as a tribute to Jackie Gleason and The Honeymooners. Today, visitors passing through the Port Authority Bus Terminal may view it and its inscription, which reads: ‘Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden – Bus Driver – Raccoon Lodge Treasurer – Dreamer. Presented by the people of TV Land.’
Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis & MM
Because so many of those who worked with Marilyn Monroe have written negatively about her tardiness on the set, her selfishness, her reliance on her voice coach and her general all-round lack of co-operation, I thought it would make a welcome change to reiterate something positive about this remarkable woman for once. In his international best-seller Dean & Me: A Love Story, Jerry Lewis spoke most highly of her. He and Dean Martin met her for the first time at a Photoplay Magazine Awards Night and thought she was ‘magnificent’. ‘She had the capacity to make you feel that she was totally engaged with whatever you were talking about’, he wrote. ‘She was kind, she was good, she was beautiful, and the press took shots at her she didn’t deserve. They got on her case from day one – a textbook example of celebrity bashing.’ He added that, even though she had recently parted from her husband Joe DiMaggio, ‘she had a delicious sense of humour, an ability not only to appreciate what was funny but to see the absurdity of things in general.’ Marilyn and Jerry had a brief affair.
Lovely Susan Harrison with Tony Curtis in Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
One of my all-time favourite films is the 1957 drama Sweet Smell of Success. Although Burt Lancaster received top billing, it was Tony Curtis who, as the morally defunct Sidney Falco, had the most screen-time and on whom the storyline centred. And he was brilliant. For that matter, so was Burt whose character, JJ Hunsecker, was a thinly disguised version of real life columnist Walter Winchell. The wonderful character actor Emile Meyer was memorable as Lt. Harry Kello, a character loosely based on real life NYPD detective Eddie Egan, a man immortalised by Gene Hackman as ‘Popeye’ Doyle in The French Connection (1971). The lovely and sensitive Susan Harrison made her screen debut as JJ’s sister and she, too, was terrific. Disappointingly, her screen career only extended to seven credits and was over by 1963. Sweet Jeff Donnell had just divorced Aldo Ray when she landed the role of Falco’s secretary Sally, and was short-changed when her big romantic scene with Curtis was extensively cut. Barbara Nichols, Martin Milner and Lawrence Dobkin all added to the quality of this exceptional film.
Judy Geeson in To Sir with Love (1967) – what a knockout!
There were few young men who were not taken by an 18 year-old English actress named Judy Geeson back in 1967, when she portrayed Pamela Dare opposite Sidney Poitier in the iconic film To Sir with Love. She was not only beautiful, but a fine actress as well, one who went on to play opposite some other big names in the industry. First, there was the B-feature Berserk! (1967), alongside an aging Joan Crawford; then Prudence and the Pill (1968), with David Niven and Deborah Kerr; The Executioner (1970), co-starring with George Peppard and Joan Collins and 10 Rillington Place, with Richard Attenborough a year later. She even made a film (Brannigan) with the legendary John Wayne in London in 1973. Judy was also scheduled to make Educating Rita in 1982, but had to withdraw through illness.
Judy & husband Kristoffer Tabori
Her personal relationship with Irish set designer Sean Kenny ended after four years with his untimely death in 1973. In the early eighties she visited California, fell in love with actor Kristoffer Tabori and married him in 1985. They divorced four years later, but Judy remained in California and opened an antiques shop named ‘Blanche’ in Los Angeles in 1999. It closed ten years later. A very private person, she has not been photographed or spotted dating anyone since her divorce in 1989.

Femmes Fatales Oct 2 2018
In Hollywood a good name is half the battle.
She had one of the most memorable monikers in Hollywood history. She appeared in more than sixty films, scores of television shows, and probably a couple of dozen television movies too, and all without very much in the way of serious studio push. She did have a contract with Columbia Pictures, but many of her appearances were uncredited. Nevertheless she worked steadily for forty years, which a lot of bigger stars can't say. She was born Jean Marie Donnell but she acted as Jeff Donnell—not a name you'd easily forget—and this photo shows her in 1942.

A reliable featured player and occasional co-star, actress Jeff Donnell was born Jean Marie Donnell in a boys' reformatory in South Windham, Maine in 1921, the younger of schoolteacher Mildred and penologist Howard's two daughters. She took piano and dance lessons during her childhood in Maryland; she loved the popular "Mutt and Jeff" cartoon strip so much that she gave herself the nickname "Jeff."
She studied at the Yale School of Drama and performed briefly in summer stock before marrying her first husband at 19: Bill Anderson, a drama teacher from her Boston alma mater, Leland Powers Drama School. Together they started the Farragut Playhouse in Rye, New Hampshire. Almost immediately a Columbia Studios talent scout noticed her in a play there and quickly signed her.
Whisked to Los Angeles, Jeff made her first appearance in the war-era movie Meine Schwester Ellen (1942) while husband Bill was hired on as a dialogue director. Hardly the chic, glamour-girl type, Jeff possessed a perky, unpretentious, tomboyish quality that worked comfortably in unchallenging "B" escapism --usually the breezy girlfriend or spirited bobbysoxer. Typical of her movie load at the time were the fun but innocuous Doughboys in Ireland (1943), What's Buzzin', Cousin? (1943), Nine Girls (1944), 1001 Nacht (1945), Carolina Blues (1944), and Eadie Was a Lady (1945). She also enlivened a number of musical westerns that prominently featured Ken Curtis (Festus of "Gunsmoke").
On a rare occasion, Jeff found herself in "A" pictures, most notably the Bogart film noir classic Ein einsamer Ort (1950), but more often than not she played the obliging or supportive friend of the leading lady. Unable to break away from her established "B" ranking, she later tried a move to RKO Studios (1949) but fared no better or worse. She did make a successful move to TV in the early 50s and was seen in a number of comedy and dramatic parts.
Long separated from and finally divorcing her first husband in 1953 (they had one son, Michael, and an adopted daughter, Sarah Jane), she married rising film actor Aldo Ray in 1954, but the marriage crumbled within two years, beset by drinking problems; she also suffered a miscarriage. She went on to marry and divorce twice more. As the 1950s rolled on, she earned steady work on TV, bringing to life comedian George Gobel's often-mentioned wife Alice on the sitcom The George Gobel Show (1954) for four seasons. She also had the opportunity to play Gidget's mom in a couple of the popular lightweight movies of the early 1960s -- April entdeckt Hawaii (1961) and April entdeckt Rom (1963).
Most daytime fans will remember Jeff's long-running stint on the soap drama General Hospital (1963) as Stella Fields, the Quartermain housekeeper, which started in 1979 and lasted until her death in 1988. Dogged by ill health in later years (including a serious bout with Addison's disease), Jeff died peacefully of a heart attack in her sleep at age 66.

It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals.
In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 600. To celebrate and share this musical love, here is my weekly feature about musicals.
This week’s musical:
Let’s Do It Again (1953) – Musical #300
Studio:
Columbia Pictures
Director:
Alexander Hall
Starring:
Jane Wyman, Ray Milland, Aldo Ray, Leon Ames, Valerie Bettis, Karin Booth, Mary Treen, Tom Helmore, Dick Wessel, Kathryn Givney, Herbert Hayes
Plot:
Constance Stuart (Wyman) is a musical star and her husband Gary Stuart (Milland) is a composer for stage musicals. Gary told Constance he was going out of town, when really he was in town the whole time, attending jazz sessions and carousing. When he returns home one morning, he finds Constance left the night before with another man and hasn’t returned. When she arrives in her evening clothes and saying they had car trouble, he doesn’t believe her and the two separate. During their separation, Gary tries to win back Constance, even while she’s being romanced by another man (Ray).
Trivia:
• Musical remake of “The Awful Truth” (1937)
• Working titles were “Love Song,” “Anyone But You” and “Great While It Lasted.”
Highlights:
• Aldo Ray dancing (and the feet that aren’t him dancing)
Notable Songs:
• “These are the Things I Remember” performed by Jane Wyman and Ray Milland (dubber unknown)
My review:
Oh, the musical remake. While I love movie musicals, sometimes these adaptations make me heave a heavy side.
This film phenomenon was particularly prevalent in the 1950s. Hollywood writers and producers took comedic film successes of the 1930s and 1940s and transformed them into Technicolor musical spectacles — often not as successful as their predecessors. Examples of the films that were remade include NINOTCHKA (1939), IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934), THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940), TOO MANY HUSBANDS (1940) and THE WOMEN (1939).
Often, rather than just adding music to help progress the plot, the film is made into a backstage story and one of the lead characters is a musician, dancer or singer (like in Ninotchka/Silk Stockings, Too Many Husbands/Three for the Show, The Women/The Opposite Sex).
Sometimes when I watch these musical remakes, I can suspend belief and try to think of it as its own film and not compare it to the superior original. For example, the last time I watch THE OPPOSITE SEX, I focused on the excellent cast and lavish sets and costumes, and I had fun watching it.
However, in the case of this week’s Musical Monday, LET’S DO IT AGAIN (1953), even focusing on the story here didn’t improve the film. LET’S DO IT AGAIN is a remake of THE AWFUL TRUTH, a story that was first introduced on the stage in 1923 and was first put on screen in 1925. The story was most famously told on screen in 1937 starring Irene Dunne, Cary Grant and Ralph Bellamy under the direction of Leo McCarey. This screwball comedy about distrust in a marriage is considered one of the best film comedies ever made.
Jane Wyman, Ray Milland and Aldo Ray play the respective roles in this musical remake. For the musical element, Wyman is a musical stage star and Milland is a composer of hit songs.
The plot follows married couple Constance Stuart (Wyman) and Gary Stuart (Milland). Gary is supposedly returning home to his wife after being out of town (though we know he never left town and has been with women and in jam sessions). Gary returns home early one morning to find Constance went out the night before and never returned. When she comes in wearing the evening dress he left in, he doesn’t believe her story of car trouble and the two separate. But even during their separation, Gary tries to win Constance back, while she’s being courted by Frank McGraw (Ray), a rich hick.
While LET’S DO IT AGAIN does not have the glitter and charm of THE AWFUL TRUTH, it does have its moments and I laughed a few time. I frankly remembered this film as being horrible, and it’s not the worst … but something doesn’t gel. One scene I thought was very funny was in the night club while Constance and Frank are dancing together. Gary expects Frank to be a bad dancer and asks the band to play a complicated number, and Frank is an expert dancer. Between Milland’s disgusted facial expressions and the dancing feet (which the viewer knows don’t actually belong to Ray), I thought this was a funny scene.
More than anything, what LET’S DO IT AGAIN lacks is chemistry between its stars. Milland and Wyman co-starred in the drama THE LOST WEEKEND (1945) several years before and work well together. Now both Academy Award winners, as a married couple in a musical comedy, they just don’t work.
In the early part of her career at Warner Bros., seeing Jane Wyman in a musical is not unusual. In her 1930s and 1940s roles, she played spunky characters who could easily fit into a dance number.
But by the 1950s with her Mamie Eisenhower-like haircut, something just doesn’t work here. I THINK she’s doing her own singing (because she did sing in general), but I am not 100% sure. The only time I felt Wyman really sold it, is when she sings and dances while pretending to be Milland’s sister. This is just a different time in her career.
Ray Milland’s singing voice is clearly dubbed and doesn’t match him. He sounds more like Perry Como.
Aldo Ray is adorable and handsome, but may not the right person for the part. Perhaps they should have just brought back Ralph Bellamy.
There are some musical numbers by Valerie Bettis and they are quite bizarre. There are several songs throughout, but all but “These are the Things I Remember” are largely forgettable.
Perhaps one of the most disappointing aspect of this film were he costumes by Jean Louis. Wyman wears some costumes that appear lavish but are questionable and weird.
While I didn’t think this was the worst musical remake I’ve ever seen, it just doesn’t work. With an excellent cast, they all should have been used in another film that wasn’t this. It’s a waste of talents and it’s impossible to improve on THE AWFUL TRUTH (1937).

What did you watch: the 1956 crime redemption film Nightfall
Oh, this is about how Batman got beat up by Bane? What? No.
Nightfall is an odd but fun crime movie starring Aldo Ray and Anne Bancroft. Aldo is Jim, a commercial artist who tries to not draw attention to himself. A stranger on the street tries to start up friendly conversation with him so Jim ducks into a bar where he’s then accosted by Marie (Bancroft), a model. Who doesn’t want to have dinner with a model? Even if you might be on the run for a murder and robbery you didn’t commit, but c’mon guys, you gotta risk it to spend time with the ladies.
With some exposition from the stranger, who turns out to be an insurance investigator, and some flashbacks from Jim, we find out he’s wanted for the murder of his best friend, the result of an unlikely meeting with two oafish but violent bank robbers (John & Red) in the middle of nowhere, while Jim and his bestie were out hunting. Jim and his pal witness a car accident and go to help, and discover two armed men who force them to take the two friends back to their camp. They taunt the two, making their plans to have Jim as their fall guy and then killing Jim’s friend with Jim’s hunting rifle. Jim makes off with the stolen money and disappears into the vast snowy fields of Wyoming, eventually hiding the money.
Because he previously had an affair with his best friend’s wife, and the bank robbers having shot his friend with his own rifle, it looks like Jim had killed his bestie and the motive was the affair. It also happens that John & Red had also tracked down Jim, having used Marie as bait at the bar to distract him and lead him their way. Jim has to escape again, but also rescue Marie from the criminals as now she could tie them to Jim in the future.
There’s a lot of moving parts for a simple frame up crime caper, mostly because this story is told out of order thanks to Jim’s flashbacks to the murder in Wyoming. The stranger’s narrative of his attempts to find Jim also provides a lot of detail about how such a seemingly nice guy (albeit in a brooding intimidating way, I guess) like Jim could just murder his best friend over a woman who also wasn’t in love with her husband to begin with. As Jim comes clean to Marie, it’s even strangers that she agrees to accompany him to the middle of nowhere in Wyoming to find the money to give it to authorities and explain his side of the story with the added twist of meeting John & Red in the middle of nowhere.
I’m trying my best to describe the plot as simply as possible with no spoilers, but it’s difficult because of the way the flashbacks are inserted. The first appears when Jim is threatened by John & Red, the next are when he’s describing to Marie what happened in Wyoming. Does he at some point backtrack to the first flashback, “oh, I forgot this earlier part that I was thinking about as John & Red were beating me up, you weren’t there. So, what happened was” or do we infer that she understands this part of the story?
That’s not really a big deal compared to other questions like “how did John & Red know that Jim would end up in that bar?” “Why didn’t the stranger call for backup as he tracks Jim to Wyoming, if he’s factoring in the robbery that happened in the area?” “why does Jim take Marie with him to the middle of nowhere?” Maybe it was because it was a spur of the moment, he had no chance to drop her off to the cops or somewhere safe as John & Red were closing in on him. But why agree to run away with him to begin with? If you’re a busy model you don’t just hang out at bars where violent oafs pay you to sit and wait for another oaf to walk in and buy you a drink. I know this because I’m a big oaf and no one wants me to buy them a drink.
I kid, movie. I kid. The bad guys chew the scenery because that’s some scenery! This is one pretty movie to look at, with the juxtaposition of this beautiful land where Jim and Marie can escape to and maybe build a life if they’re falling in love, if the ugly evilness of John & Red’s crimes wasn’t lying in wait for them to track down Jim first.
There’s a standoff, there’s a horrific murder trap planned, there’s an awkward fist fight as Jim and the bank robbers fight over Jim’s new friends’ lives while an errant snow plow makes it way to them. Maybe the flashbacks that bring you up to speed on Jim’s plight helps cover up the conveniences and contrivances of the plot, but the forest defeats the trees in this case, and this ends up being a pretty good thriller.
A lot of that has to do with John & Red, played by Brian Keith and Rudy Bond respectively. Even with John being the level headed planner to Red’s gleeful sadism, they’re both a danger to everyone, even to someone with a badge. Maybe the plot didn’t need them to turn on each other, but the movie didn’t have a lot of other characters to confront or separate them to drive the other into a desperate fight with Jim for the last man standing. I’m just theorizing the whys for certain plot points. It’s not a great story, it could be a confusing one, but the movie is solid enough despite the room you get to think about the hows and whys it asks you to overlook. Recommended!

Aldo DaRe was born in the borough of Pen Argyl, in Northampton County, Pennsylvania on 25 September 1926. He attended the University of California at Berkeley, served as a US Navy frogman during WWII and saw action on Iwo Jima. While constable of Crockett, California, he drove his brother Guido to an audition for the film Saturday’s Hero (1951). Director David Miller hired him for a small role as a cynical football player. Ray’s husky frame, thick neck and raspy voice made him perfect for playing tough sexy roles. He was one of the reminiscing lovers in George Cukor’s The Marrying Kind (1952) and starred opposite Rita Hayworth in Miss Sadie Thompson (1953). Ray was the none-too-bright boxer in Cukor’s Pat and Mike (1952) and an escaped convict in ‘Michael Curtiz”s We’re No Angels (1955). His career started downhill in the 1970s, with him appearing in a string of low-budget films as a character actor. His last film was Shock ‘Em Dead (1991). Ray was married three times, with one daughter Claire born in 1951 to his first wife Shirley Green whom he married on on 20 June 1947. Ray was then briefly married to actress Jeff Donnell and then had two sons and a daughter with his third wife, Johanna Ray, one of whom is the actor Eric DaRe. Aldo Ray died of throat cancer on 27 March 1991.

Ray, Aldo
(b. 25 September 1926 in Pen Argyl, Pennsylvania; d. 27 March 1991 in Martinez, California), gravel-voiced American screen actor who portrayed tough guys with soft hearts in the 1950s and 1960s.
Ray was born Aldo Da Re, the first of five children born to Silvio Matteo Da Re, an Italian immigrant who worked as a laborer, and Maria De Pizzol, a homemaker who was born in Brazil but grew up in Italy. When Ray was an infant his family moved from Pennsylvania to Crockett, California, about forty miles northeast of San Francisco, where Silvio Da Re found work in a sugar refinery. After graduating from John Swett High School in 1944 Ray enlisted in the U.S. Navy and became a frogman during the last year of World War II. He served in the Pacific, including in the invasion of Okinawa. After the war, from 1946 to 1948, Ray attended Vallejo Junior College, where he was a star athlete in football and swimming. Upon receiving his associate of arts degree he studied political science at the University of California at Berkeley from 1948 to 1950 but left without graduating.
Ray moved back to Crockett and successfully campaigned for election as constable (sheriff). In 1950 he drove his brother to an audition as an extra in a film called Saturday’s Hero. The director David Miller asked Ray to read for a part. Instead, Ray delivered one of his campaign speeches. The studio executives, who loved his gravelly voice, declared him a natural actor and offered him a part in the movie. The head of Columbia Pictures, Harry Cohn, wanted Ray to change his name to John Harrison, but Ray agreed only to drop the first syllable of his last name and to anglicize the spelling of the last syllable. In 1951 Ray married Shirley Green; they had one daughter and were divorced in 1952.
After Saturday’s Hero, Ray’s contract was renewed, and he was cast opposite the established actress Judy Holliday in The Marrying Kind (1952). Ray was acclaimed an instant success. A role in Pat and Mike (1952), with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, followed by Ray’s portrayal of Sergeant O’Hara in Miss Sadie Thompson (1953), with Rita Hayworth, led to Battle Cry (1955), in which Ray portrayed a World War II soldier who returned home an amputee. This role called for a wide range of emotions, from a brash and harsh soldier to a sensitive and loving husband. It was rumored that Cohn had wanted Ray to play the lead opposite Deborah Kerr in From Here to Eternity (1953), but the director Fred Zinnemann insisted the role be given to Montgomery Clift. Perhaps Ray’s career would have taken a different direction had he won the part. In 1954 he married Jean Marie Donnell, an actress known as Jeff Donnell. They divorced in 1956.
Ray’s all-American, wholesome good looks, athletic build, and blond hair were a dramatic contrast to Humphrey Bogart’s dark, dour character in We’re No Angèls (1955), which demonstrated that Ray could play comedy roles. His next major role was in God’s Little Acre (1958). Later that year he played the sadistic yet complex Sergeant Croft in The Nailed and the Dead, based on the 1948 book by Norman Mailer, arguably Ray’s most memorable role. His last major film was The Green Berets (1968), with John Wayne, in which Ray was typecast as still another sergeant, this time during the Vietnam War. In 1960 Ray married Johanna Bennett, with whom he had two sons. They were divorced in 1967.
When his career took a downward turn after The Nailed and the Dead, Ray decided to try filmmakers in Europe, but he was offered only minor roles. Returning to California, he made almost fifty B films over the next seventeen years, all beneath his talents. In the last interview before his death, Ray stated: “In some ways the tough soldier role locked me in. There were no sophisticated roles for me. I never seemed to get past master sergeant, although I always thought of myself as upper echelon.”
Mired in debt and unable to secure major roles in films, Ray returned to his hometown of Crockett in 1983. He worked occasionally in minor films and television, including a small part in Falcon Crest in 1985. Ruefully Ray later worked in a nonunion film and was forced to resign from the Screen Actors Guild in 1986. Though Ray continued to work until 1989, he was plagued by illness. Admitted to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Martinez, California, in February 1991, he died of throat cancer and complications from pneumonia at the age of sixty-four. He was cremated, and his ashes were scattered into the water beneath the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Ray never became a big Hollywood star, but he was not just a supporting actor, at least for the first ten years of his career. Although he showed early promise in comedy and romantic roles, directors never explored that promise. Consequently he was locked into portrayals of military men whose complexity was never allowed to develop.
An excellent, factual article on Ray is in Bob King, ed., Films of the Golden Age 13 (summer 1998): 74-84. Biographical sketches are in many indices of performing arts, including Barbara McNeil and Miranda C. Herbert, eds., Performing Arts Biography Master Index (1981), and Dennis La Beau, ed., Theatre, Film, and Television Biographical Master Index (1979). Obituaries are in Deborah Andrews, ed., The Annual Obituary 1991 the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times (both 28 Mar. 1991), Newsweek and Time (both 8 Apr. 1991).

You know I have a weakness for beefy actors like Dana Andrews and Victor Mature and (more recently) Channing Tatum and Cam Gigandet. They appeal to me on a deeply hormonal level.
Here’s one I sometimes forget, until I see one of his movies: Aldo Ray.
Aldo was an Italian-American, born Aldo Da Re. His brother wanted to be an actor, so Aldo drove him to an audition; the casting director took one look at Aldo, with his football-player body and nice squint and gravelly voice, and cast him instead. (Imagine how his brother felt!)
Aldo played lots of soldiers, and a few nice guys (catch him in “The Marrying Kind” with Judy Holliday), and some tragic/romantic characters (as in “God’s Little Acre”). Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, he took whatever roles came along. He was diagnosed with cancer in the 1980s, and took any acting jobs that came along in order to pay for his health care; according to Wikipedia, he got dumped by the Screen Actors’ Guild when they discovered he was acting in non-union productions (including at least one porn film).
Aldo, in his prime, is a pleasure to watch. He’s a physical marvel: thick-bodied and strong, with a big chest and thick neck. There’s a scene in “God’s Little Acre” when he suddenly appears shirtless, just standing there, waiting for his old girlfriend to respond to him, and I always squeal with pleasure when I see it.
There’s a wonderful interview with Aldo on Movieline.com, from 1991. The interviewer holds nothing back, and neither does Aldo (who’s going through chemotherapy at the time). We meet his family, and everything. He’s funny and unrepentant and natural.
It’s a pity he’s gone.
Here’s the scene I mentioned: a bare-chested Aldo interacting with Tina Louise (Ginger from Gilligan’s Island, for god’s sake!) in “God’s Little Acre.”
Prepare to squeal.

Twelve years doing this... still fun for me and hope it will be for you, too. The last 3 postings are displayed. After that use arrows to navigate thru all years and months of each year. It's really pretty easy. Dash off a note if something strikes your fancy or rubs up against your ire. New postings 5th, 10th,15th, 20th, 25th & 30th of month.

Gravel-voiced, thick-set former Navy frogman who was running for constable of Crockett, CA, when he drove his brother to an audition for the film "Saturday's Hero" (1951) and was hired instead by director David Miller. Early in Ray's career he starred in romantic leads, as one of the reminiscing lovers in George Cukor's "The Marrying Kind" (1951) and opposite Rita Hayworth in "Miss Sadie Thompson" (1953). In comic roles, Ray was the none-too-bright boxer in Cukor's "Pat and Mike" (1952) and an escaped convict in Michael Curtiz's "We're No Angels" (1955).
By the mid-50s Ray was typecast as a hot-blooded, gung-ho character in action films and as GIs in "Battle Cry" (1955), "Men in War" (1957) and his last major film, "The Green Berets" (1968) with John Wayne.

About CSLSA
History
When Australia was chosen to host the 1956 summer Olympics, lifesavers there decided to hold an invitational lifesaving competition to be known as the Australian Olympic International Surf Championships at Torquay Beach, outside Melbourne, Victoria. [Australia Medallion] The Honorable Judge Adrian Curlewis of Australia appointed Arthur Parkens, an Australian lifesaving instructor, to solicit participation from the United States. California lifeguards and a contingent from the Territory of Hawaii decided to participate. Both teams were required trained and awarded, "The Australian Surflifesavers Medallion," so as to meet the international competition standards required for the event.
The California lifeguards organized themselves under the banner of the Surf Life Saving Association of America (SLSA), although they were solely from the Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City lifeguard agencies. This was the first American lifeguard association of its kind, even if its name was a bit grand considering its narrow scope.
Team members from the SLSA included Team Captain Rusty Williams of Los Angeles County (LACO), Team Coach Kirby Temple (LACO), Team Manager Herb Barthels, Sr. of Los Angeles City (LACity), Tad Devine (Santa Monica City), Bob Burnside (LACO), Mike Bright (LACO), Greg Noll (LACO), Dave Ballinger (LACO), Chick McIlroy (LACO), Paul McIlroy (LACO), Sheridan Byerly (LACO), and Roger Jensen (LACO). The Hawaiian lifeguard team included Dr. Don Gustuson, Team Manager Harry Shaeffer, Team Coach Tom Shaeffer, Tom Moore, Tom Zahn, Dan Durego, Tim Guard, L. Honka, Peter Balding, and Shaky Felez.

The event was held on November 26, 1956 and drew an immense crowd of 115,000 spectators. The legendary "Duke" Paoa Kahanamoku of Hawaii served as the honorary event Chairman. In addition to the American and Australian teams, lifeguard teams from South Africa, Great Britain, Ceylon, and New Zealand participated.
As for the Americans, the Hawaiian Territory placed first in the Beach Relay. Tad Devine of California placed second in the swim. Bob Burnside of California placed third in the belt race.
Perhaps more importantly than the competition itself, lifelong relationships were built around this historic event and both countries were to benefit tremendously. The American rescue tube and rescue buoy were first introduced to Australia on this tour, later to become staples of Australian lifesaving gear as they were in the US. Tom Zahn, Tom Moore, and Bob Burnside brought Malibu Balsa Surfboards with them, the first total Australian exposure to the Malibu Surfboard. When they departed Australia, the boards were left behind, which revolutionized surfing in Australia.
After the event, LA County Lifeguard Chief Bud Stevenson decided to use SLSA in his efforts to upgrade professional lifeguarding. Chief Stevenson appointed Bob Burnside as President of the nascent organization and Lt. Don Hill as Secretary. Despite the broadly embracing name of Surf Life Saving Association of America, the early focus was to remain on Los Angeles County issues.
Bob Burnside called for representatives from as many Southern California lifeguard agencies as possible to attend a concept meeting at Santa Monica Lifeguard Headquarters in the winter of 1963. In attendance were Vince Moorhouse (Huntington Beach), Max Bowman (Huntington Beach), Don Rohrer (LA City), Dick Heineman (LA City), Tim Dorsey (Seal Beach), host Jim Richards (Santa Monica), and a representative from Long Beach.
The group agreed that they should establish a truly national organization, based on the structure of the Australian association, to be called the Surf Life Saving Association of America.
The early organization established Southern and Northern Chairmen of the State of California, and a temporary Executive Board was formed to establish a constitution, bylaws, and method of equal representation for the association. This put in place all the necessary criteria for affiliation with the organization by local chapters, allowing each chapter to participate equally in the first election of officers, which took place in 1965. In the meantime, temporary chairmen took charge.
In 1964, Huntington Beach's newly dedicated lifeguard headquarters was adopted as the center for SLSA activities. In that same year, Howard Lee of LA County designed the national logo, which is still in use today. His design was influenced by a similar design that Tad Devine of the 1956 Australia team had created for the team uniform. Both are strikingly similar to the logo of the United States Life-Saving Service, an arm of the United States government, which had rescued shipwrecked sailors during the 1800s and 1900s, before being merged with the Revenue Cutter Service to form the US Coast Guard.
The National Surf Life Saving Association of America is Born
In 1965, the SLSA title was dropped in favor of the National Surf Life Saving Association (NSLSA) and the first election officers of was held, at this time for a one-year term of office. They were President Bob Burnside, Vice-President Dick Hazard (San Clemente), Treasurer Max Bowman, Secretary Don Rohrer, and Sergeant at Arms Tim Dorsey. The goals and objectives were identified and weekly meetings were agreed upon, rotating among different lifeguard headquarters for over a year. In another 1965 development, Australia was invited to send their national competition team to compete in the US.
A year earlier, in 1964, ABC television's Wide World of Sports had filmed a lifeguard competition at Huntington Beach. During the competition, lifeguards Mike Henry and Pete Orth of Carpenteria, California, lost control of their dory on a 10 foot wave and crashed into the Huntington Beach pier. It became one of the Great Moments of 1964, replayed repeatedly for television audiences throughout America.
Building on this memory, in 1965 Wide World of Sports invited the NSLSA and the touring Australian team, to fly to the East Coast and compete in a first ever East Coast/West Coast lifeguard competition. This televised, international event was held at Montauk Point on Long Island, New York. At this event, the concept of a truly national affiliation under the umbrella of NSLSA took seed. Also in 1965, Santa Cruz became the first lifesaving association outside Southern California to join.
The year 1966 saw a new election of officers, with Bob Burnside remaining as president, Phil Stubbs of San Clemente as vice-president, Jack Buck as Secretary, and Don Rohrer as treasurer, with Tim Dorsey remaining as Sergeant at Arms. Also in 1966, the California Chief Lifeguard Association, which had first formed in the late 1930s, reconvened and appointed Vince Moorhouse as chairman. They conferred $431.80 from their association bank account to the NSLSA treasury, along with their blessings and pledge to support the organization.
On August 25, 1967, it was decided to change the term of office to two years. Mike Henry of California State (north) was elected president, Phil Stubbs of San Clemente remained vice-president, Bob Burnside moved to secretary, Dick Heinemann of LA City as treasurer, and Tim Dorsey continuing on as Sergeant at Arms.
In 1967, NSLSA sent a competition team to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to compete in the first recognized East versus West lifeguard championships, continuing the national affiliation concept among all the agencies involved. Teams from New York to Miami and the West Coast team battled it out in a rousing competition.
The East Coast/West Coast competition helped further an effort to make NSLSA a truly national organization. Lt. Jim Holland of the Miami Beach Patrol was appointed to act as East Coast liaison for NSLSA. He was responsible for bringing into the first Florida chapters into NSLSA: Miami Beach and Boca Raton. Secretary Bob Burnside flew to Florida to tour Florida beaches with Lt. Holland in an effort to further increase Eastern affiliations.
It was also during 1967 that the Australians invited the NSLSA affiliated lifeguards back for a competition tour that included several unusual feats. This included a stunning win by the 16 year old Huntington Beach lifeguard Spike Beck in the Australian National Championship Junior Belt Race. At the New South Wales championships Australian veteran "Spas" Hearst, Bob Burnside, Paul Mathies (LACO), Jim Richards (Santa Monica), and Ruby Kroon teamed up for a binational win in the surfboat race.

In 1969, the change in officers found Phil Stubbs elected president, Bob Shea of San Diego vice president, Logan Lockabey of California State secretary, Dick Heinemann treasurer, and Tim Dorsey still watching the door as Sergeant at Arms. That year, the first international educational exchange was undertaken with a visit to Auckland, New Zealand by Max Bowman (Huntington Beach), Phil Stubbs (San Clemente), and Logan Lockabey (Newport Beach). It was also in that year that NSLSA received membership in the Council for National Cooperation in Aquatics (CNSA).
In 1969 that the Dade County (Florida) Board of Supervisors requested that NSLSA representatives journey to Miami and review lifeguard procedures there in the wake of a rash of ocean drownings. Bob Burnside and Phil Stubbs handled this task, with Paul Cocke (LA County) and Bill Richardson (Huntington Beach) assisting. The outcome included recommendations that resulted in installation of a communication system, new vehicles and equipment, new qualification requirements, increased funding, and the hiring of Lt. Holland as Chief of the Dade County Lifeguard Division. It was the first demonstration of the potentially power of NSLSA to improve lifesaving standards nationwide. In 1970 Hempstead Beach, New York joined NSLSA. It was the first member chapter from the upper East Coast. The NSLSA newsletter changed its name that year to Ocean Lifeguard Magazine. The editor was Tim Dorsey.
World Life Saving was created in 1971 in Australia, to include the national lifesaving federations of Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand, South Africa, and the US. Chief Vince Moorehouse of Huntington Beach was appointed the NSLSA International Liaison to WLS, then President from 1976-80. Max Bowman served from 1988-1993. On 24 February 1993, WLS merged with FIS to form the International Life Saving Federation (ILS). By that time, WLS represented more than 20 full member national lifesaving organizations.
In 1971, President Phil Stubbs was reelected, Eric Lucas of Laguna Beach was elected vice president, Logan Lockabey remained as secretary, Bill Ward became secretary, and Tim Dorsey stayed on for another term as Sergeant at Arms. In that year, recommended beach standards and certification were first completed for all lifeguard classifications in an effort to improve standardization and professionalism. Hempstead Beach withdrew their membership that year, after only one year in the organization.
Two other organizations requested NSLSA professional help in 1971, Big Surf surf park in Tempe, Arizona and the State of New York. In the case of the latter, a team of 11 members were sent to help in training and appraisal of New York lifeguard practices, but when they arrived they learned that they had been summoned amidst a job action and were being enlisted to ensure lifeguard protection in the case of a strike. This event turned out to create some seriously bad feelings between New York lifeguards and the NSLSA, which were not to subside for many years.
In 1972, the Internal Revenue Service granted NSLSA tax-exempt status as a not for profit, educational organization. World Life Saving held its Board of Directors meeting in Huntington Beach that year, the first international lifesaving meeting in America. The NSLSA newsletter, under the title "Certification," also mentions that NSLSA was preparing the groundwork for a training certificate to be issued to newly trained lifeguards [and] studying a proposal from the YMCA of America to certify lifeguards for that organization."
In 1973, the sixth Executive Board was elected to include Vince Moorhouse (Huntington Beach) as president, Eric Lucas (Long Beach) as vice president, Buddy Belshe of Newport Beach as secretary, Bill Ward (Long Beach) as treasurer, and Tim Dorsey sergeant at arms. That year also saw the development of agreements on standardization of beach warning flags and the first international training officers exam.
South Africa was the next destination for an education and competition tour. An 11 man team was sent in 1974 that included Max Bowman, John Patty (Long Beach), Tim Dorsey, Mark Bodenbender (Huntington Beach), BI Gerald, (Huntington Beach), Buddy Belshe (Newport Beach), Bill Owen (San Diego), Sheridan Byerly (San Clemente), Richard Marks (LA City), Paul Mathies (LACO), and Topper Harock (Newport Beach).
In 1974, NSLSA conducted a site review and beach lifeguard service survey for the City of Santa Cruz. This process demonstrated potential of the NSLSA to help influence management of beach lifesaving organizations. It was a process that was used many times again in future years.
In 1975, Eric Lucas (Long Beach) stepped up to become president, with Buddy Belshe (Newport Beach) as vice-president, Dick Miller of Long Beach as secretary, and Max Bowman (Huntington Beach) as treasurer. Also in 1975, Vince Moorehouse (Huntington Beach) was elected president of World Life Saving.
The United States Lifesaving Association is Created
Over the years, NSLSA had been very successful in organizing national and international exchanges of information, competitions, and public education efforts to help reduce drowning. Progress made initially to embrace East Coast agencies however, had languished and the organization remained largely an association of California lifeguards and a few chapters from Florida.
Some felt that the organization should remain a surf lifesaving organization, barring participation from lifeguards at lakes, rivers, and similar venues. Others felt that all lifeguards at natural, open water locales should be eligible for membership. One of these was Sheridan Byerly (now of San Clemente), who had been a member of the 1956 Australian team.
The 1977 elections were a turning point. It was anticipated by many that Buddy Belshe would be elected president that year, but in an unexpected upset, Sheridan Byerly was elected instead. Considering that he had never been elected to an NSLSA post before that time, his election was a surprising event. As it turns out, it was to portend further change. In that same year, Dick Miller was re-elected vice-president, Max Bowman treasurer, and Larry Gibson of Newport Beach secretary. Partway through the two-year term of office, Gibson resigned his post and Byron Wear of San Diego was appointed to replace him. Wear would later become the first USLA Executive Director until 1984. Many years later he was to be elected to the San Diego City Council.
A priority for Byerly was the push to make NSLSA a truly national organization. A debate occurred over opening the guidelines for membership to allow personnel from lake, river and similar venues. It was hotly contested as many felt that the association should incorporate only ocean agencies and that bringing in other areas that would not necessarily be year-round operations, would shift the power to part time and non-ocean agencies, thus creating a philosophical difference of priorities. Nonetheless, Byerly persevered. Changes to the bylaws were drafted and plans were laid to create regions throughout the United States with their own presidents and executive boards.
In February 1979, Byerly and Wear took leave of their jobs and began recruiting work in Florida, encouraging further participation. At that time, Florida membership centered on Boca Raton and Dade County. They met with lifeguards from many agencies, including Joe Wooden and Tom Renick of Volusia County.
In May 1979, the NSLSA Board of Directors met in Santa Cruz, knowing that the debate over broadening the membership scope of the organization was coming to a head. President Byerly chaired a meeting thick with heated and passionate discussion about the course of the organization's future. Ultimately, the NSLSA Board of Directors voted to change the name of the organization to the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) and adopt the various bylaw changes that had been drafted. It was a truly historic event, which set the stage for a broader and more embracing organization. It was agreed that members could include, any member of an ocean, bay, lake, river, or open water lifesaving or rescue service, including chiefs, directors, and their equivalent.
Since that time, the United States Lifesaving Association, an idea launched in California, has thrived, having a major and very positive influence nationally over drowning prevention and lifeguard training standards. The first truly national competition was conducted in 1980 in San Diego, California under the USLA banner, a tradition that has continued annually ever since. In the spring of 2014, USLA celebrated their 50th Anniversary at a Board of Directors meeting and Educational Conference hosted by the CSLSA’s Huntington Beach chapter.

Surf lifesaving originated in Australia in 1906 in response to drownings at local beaches in Sydney. Such groups became necessary following the relaxing of laws prohibiting daylight bathing on Australian beaches. Volunteer groups of men were trained in life saving methods and patrolled the beaches as lifesavers looking after public safety.
The original surf life saving club is a matter of contention between the Bronte and Bondi beach clubs in Sydney. Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club claims to be the “First Surf Club in the World since 1903”. This is based on minutes of a meeting held in 1907 (found at the local library in 1982), which was noted to be the fourth AGM of the club, as well as a time capsule from 1931 (unearthed during renovations of the club house) in which documents record then President and Gen. Secretary of Surf Lifesaving Australia unanimously declaring Bronte to be the first club. The Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club also claims to be the “world’s first life saving club”. It was officially established on February 21, 1907 at the Royal Hotel in Bondi.
This multifaceted movement comprising of voluntary lifeguard service and the competitive surf sport expanded globally and in 1955, the Surf Life Saving Great Britain (SLSGB) organisation was formed with clubs in Wales establishing themselves in the 1960s later forming the Surf Lifesaving Association of Wales in 1969.
The Surf Lifesaving Association of Wales (SLSA Wales) has voluntary surf lifesaving clubs across the Welsh coast and all hole the same values, standards of training and service provision. All clubs patrol their designated beaches or designated area and are on hand to offer first aid and rescue assistance to those in need. SLSA Wales itself trains and educates its members, of all ages in surf life saving skills, beach safety and first aid via a range of comprehensive awards, courses and qualifications.
The main qualification on offer is the internationally recognised National Vocational Beach Lifeguard Qualification (NVBLQ) which is the preference for RNLI Lifeguards and many other employees. Qualifications can also range from shore based first aid and life support to the Welsh Ambulance Service First Responder. This proves that surf lifesaving can not only offer the opportunities to keep fit through the sport but will also enhance your lifesaving skill level, making you better equipped to deal with emergency situations.

PROGRAMMING
The second season of the Paramount+ comedy “Colin From Accounts” will premiere on Sept. 26 on the streamer, and all eight episodes of the new season will be available to stream at launch.
“‘Colin From Accounts’ is a romantic comedy about flawed, funny people choosing each other and embracing the all-too-relatable chaos of modern life. After Gordon (Patrick Brammall) and Ashley (Harriet Dyer) are brought together in season one by a spontaneous nipple flash and the subsequent accident that injured the titular (no pun intended) dog, season two of the hit series opens with Ash and Gordon now living together and trying to get their beloved, special needs dog, Colin, back from his new owners. It’s the first in a series of hurdles for the new couple as they find out more about each other, for better and worse,” reads the show’s log line.
Series creators Brammall and Dyer are returning to write, executive produce and star in the upcoming season and will be joined by Emma Harvie, Genevieve Hegney, Michael Logo, Helen Thomson, Darren Gilshenan, Annie Maynard, Tai Hara and Glenn Hazeldine.
New cast members include Celeste Barber (“Wellmania,” “The Letdown”), Virginia Gay (“Savage River,” “Safe Home”), Justin Rosniak (“The Surfer,” “Mr Inbetween”), John Howard (“SeaChange,” “The Merger”), Lynne Porteus (“Home and Away,” “The Commons”) and Broden Kelly (“Aunty Donna,” “Irreverent.”)

Fox Entertainment is partnering with the United States Lifesaving Association to support the “Lifeguards First” campaign, a letter-writing initiative that aims to grant open-water lifeguards the benefits and recognition of Emergency First Responders. The partnership comes ahead of the debut of Fox’s new drama series “Rescue: HI-Surf,” premiering Sept. 22.
Fox and USLA will bring the initiative to a beach pop up in Los Angeles Aug. 31, which will include shaved ice trucks, photo ops, appearances from the Rescue: HI-Surf cast and opportunities to spread awareness and further support the movement.
The show follows the personal and professional lives of heavy-water lifeguards who patrol and protect the North Shore of O’ahu. Each episode will feature the lifeguards saving lives in the difficult conditions of Hawaii’s Seven Mile Miracle.
EXECUTIVE NEWS
Fremantle has promoted Trey Durst to vice president of U.S. distribution for the production company’s international division.
Durst joined the company in January 2022 and served as a director within the division. During his time at Fremantle, he negotiated for the distribution and monetization of the company’s FAST channels and AVOD library within the U.S., finding unique solutions to optimizing revenue across Fremantle’s content library.
In his new role, Durst will continue to report to Lisa Honig, senior executive vice president of North American distribution, international, whose team is responsible for maximizing the revenue of Fremantle’s vast portfolio of content across all means of distribution.
“I look forward to continuing my journey at Fremantle,” Durst said. “It’s exciting to be part of a new sector of Fremantle’s business and to see how much it has grown in recent years. I can’t wait to continue exploring innovative ways to make our iconic IP available via the latest advances in the world of streaming.”
INITIATIVES
In a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Communications Commission, Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders have urged the agencies to investigate the proposed joint sports streaming venture between Fox, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Disney subsidiary ESPN called Venu Sports.
If Venu Sports were to be ratified, other sports programmers would have to go through Fox, Disney, and Warner Bros. for sports licensing rights, while at the same time, competing with Venu with their own sports streaming services. The lawmakers also argue that Venu potentially violates antitrust and telecommunications laws protecting the public from excessive consolidation.
“This massive new sports streaming company would be poised to control more than 80% of nationally broadcast sports and more than half of all national sports content, putting it in a position to exercise monopoly power over televised sports,” the letter stated. “The market power of its three giant parent companies would enable it to discriminate against competitors and increase prices for consumers.”
BROADCAST NEWS
ABC News on-air contributor and “Nightline” producer Ashan Singh will now work as a correspondent for the late-night evening newscast.
Ashan started at ABC News’ New York bureau in 2016 as a freelance production associate at “Nightline.” Since then, he has held various roles on the show, including on-air contributor and producer, before being named multiplatform reporter in 2022.
His reporting has helped spotlight underrepresented communities, explore evolving technology and feature some of the biggest names in pop culture, like Lil Nas X, Cardi B, D-Nice and the Brothers Osborne. Ashan’s investigative work has also illuminated polarizing political issues nationwide, including cannabis legalization and restorative justice. He also interviewed former NFL coach Brian Flores about his systemic racism class action lawsuit against the NFL.
“Ashan is a talented journalist, continuously demonstrating his versatility and invaluable insight while covering a variety of stories across programs and platforms. In fact, his dogged journalism skills earned a 2024 News & Documentary Emmy®Award nomination for Outstanding Emerging Journalist — his second back-to-back nomination in this coveted category,” the statement read. “We look forward to seeing what he and our incredible team at “Nightline” create and deliver together in this exciting new chapter.”
You can watch “Nightline” on ABC or stream it on Disney+/Hulu.

Chris Penteck accepted into the International Surf Lifesaving Association Project Indonesia Program
Chris Penteck was accepted into the ISLA’s (International Surf Lifesaving Association) Project Indonesia program where he will be helping the local lifeguards in Pangandaran,
The International Surf Lifesaving Association’s (ISLA) Lifeguards Without Borders initiative was started in 2006 and has helped to promote drowning prevention in multiple countries throughout the world. In December 2017, the ISLA will be conducting their 3rd year of this initiative in Pangandaran, Java Indonesia with the help of twelve volunteers spanning from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K, one of which being Smith Point Ocean Rescue Team’s Chris Penteck.
On December 28th, volunteers will arrive in Jakarta International Airport and travel to Pangandaran Beach in Java. There, they will work alongside and help the local lifeguards to better protect their beach during the 2017-2018 New Years holiday, as well as pass along and teach lifesaving techniques that will help promote drowning prevention in the future. The ISLA will also be donating lifesaving equipment to the Pangandaran lifeguards as to better equip them in the future in their goal to prevent avoidable drowning.
The ISLA offers many projects around the globe spreading the word of drowning prevention and the importance of ocean lifeguards. The project also allows for international relations, not only between the volunteers and the local lifeguards, but also between the volunteers themselves as they come from all across the globe.
Nice Work Chris and Good Luck!

Four Huntington Beach Junior Lifeguard Instructors Peter Eich, Scott Hunthausen, Olin Patterson, and Henry Reyes started ISLA in 2008. The four friends wanted something to bond their friendships for life and to continue their for passion lifeguarding. The idea started as a realization when Scott returned home from a study abroad semester in Nicaragua where he experienced the drowning of his host family’s son, and witnessed the alarming drowning rates in the country during the 4-day Semana Santa holiday (Easter).

Rip current safety ahead of the Memorial Day weekend (Spanish version)
8 things you should know BEFORE you go in the water!
May 22, 2024 - NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) is reminding beach goers ahead of the Memorial Day weekend to be aware of the dangers of rip currents and other beach hazards -- and to only swim on beaches that have a lifeguard, if at all possible. There have already been seven drownings from rip currents this year. Knowing about the dangers of rip currents could save your life.
Eight things you should Know BEFORE you go in the water!
Check the National Weather Service forecast: Before you leave for the beach, check your local surf zone and beach hazards forecasts by clicking on the map to get the forecast for your area. Remember that water conditions can change quickly during the day, so be sure to check for updates and be aware of what’s going on around you!
What are rip currents and how to escape them? Being aware of what rip currents are and how they can impact you, including what to do if you are caught in one, will put you in a much better position to safely enjoy your time at the beach. Make sure your friends and family members also know what to do, and that children are kept within arm’s reach at all times!
Rip currents are channelized currents of water flowing away from the shore at beaches. A rip current can reach speeds that are faster than the best Olympic swimmers. Typically, they form at breaks in sandbars, and near man-made structures, such as jetties and piers, and natural structures like caves/cliffs. Rip currents are common and can be found on any beach where there are breaking waves, including the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico. Take a few minutes to learn more on the NOAA Rip Current Science site.
How to survive a rip current:
Most importantly, stay calm and do not panic. Rip currents pull you away from the shore, they don’t pull you under the water.
Your natural instinct may be to try to swim back to shore…but DO NOT swim against the current. Trying to swim against a rip current will only exhaust your energy; energy you need to survive and escape.
If you feel you can safely swim, you may be able to escape the current by swimming in the direction along (parallel to) the shoreline until you feel the current becoming weaker. Then, you can swim at an angle towards the beach.
​If at any time you feel you will be unable to reach shore, do whatever you can to draw attention to yourself. Face the shore, wave your arms, and yell for help.
How do you help someone else? Don’t become a victim while trying to help someone else! Many people have died trying to rescue rip current victims.
Get help from a lifeguard.
If a lifeguard is not present, call 9-1-1, then try to direct the victim to swim following the shoreline to escape.
If possible, throw the rip current victim something that floats.
If you must attempt to rescue someone, never enter the water without a flotation device.​​
Swim near lifeguards: If possible, only swim at beaches with lifeguards. The chances of drowning at a beach with lifeguards are 1 in 18 million (U.S. Lifesaving Association). When you arrive at the beach, ask the lifeguards about rip currents and other hazards, and look for designated swimming areas. If you choose to swim at beaches without a lifeguard, never swim alone. Make sure at least someone in your group has a cell phone so you or another person can call 911 for help.
Never take your eyes off of small children: It only takes a moment for tragedy to strike and there are many distractions at the beach. Watch your children at all times, and always keep them within arm’s reach when in the water.
Know what the warning flags mean and check signs: Read the beach safety signs at the entrance to the beach. Look for beach warning flags, often posted on or near a lifeguard's stand. Know what the warning flags mean. These flags are there to protect you. Warning flags aren't used in all areas and their meaning can vary from area to area. Check this link from the U.S. Lifesaving Association for info on the beach you are visiting.
Be aware that swimming in an ocean is different from swimming in a pool: Crashing waves, gusty winds, and dangerous currents are just a few ways in which swimming in the ocean is much different than a swimming pool. Changing ocean currents and winds can quickly exhaust your energy and strength. Many swimming programs now offer lessons in how to escape a rip current. According to the United State Lifeguard Association (USLA), learning how to swim is one of the best defenses against drowning.

John R. Todd is a Registered Professional Forester in the State of California and he was employed as a forester by the Los Angeles County Fire Department from 1988 to 2012. In April 2012, John was promoted to the rank of deputy fire chief of the Prevention Services Bureau (PSB). The PSB is comprised of the Fire Prevention Division, the Forestry Division and the Health Hazardous Materials Division. Members of the Bureau serve the citizens of Los Angeles County by completing inspections and educating the community about the benefits of proper safety practices, completing building, sprinkler, and fire alarm plan checks, protecting natural resources, providing conservation education programs and advice to interested groups, using technology to assess weather, fuel moisture, and fire danger, and protecting public health and the environment from accidental releases and improper handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes.
John received a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources Management from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 1988. He has also completed many advanced courses in leadership, the Incident Command System, fire behavior, protection of resources, and urban search and rescue.
The dry, sunny climate and variable terrain of Southern California combine to create an environment where wildfires are a part of the natural ecosystem and an almost year-round occurrence. This ecosystem fosters a diverse fire-adapted community of plants and animals. Although human caused wildfires far outnumber naturally occurring wildfires within Los Angeles County, both have the potential to create situations where structures in the Wildland Urban Interface can be at risk. All vegetation will burn, even though irrigation has created a deceptively lush landscape of ornamental plants.
Following the loss of lives and structures during the 1993 wildfire season, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors created the Wildfire Safety Panel to offer recommendations that would help reduce the threat to life and property in areas prone to wildfires. One of the recommendations was to follow the findings of the Wildland Urban lnterface Task Force and another was to enforce the provisions of the Bates Bill. Jurisdictional Fire Departments were required to establish a set of guidelines and landscape criteria for all new construction in Fire Hazard Severity Zones. As a result, Fuel Modification Plans became a requirement within Los Angeles County beginning in 1996.
In the areas served by the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, all new construction, remodeling fifty percent or greater, construction of certain outbuildings and accessory structures over 120 square feet, parcel splits and subdivision/developments within areas designated as Fire Hazard Severity Zones will require a Fuel Modification Plan approval before the applicable land division, Conditional Use Permit, or Building Permit will be approved. The County of Los Angeles Fire Department Forestry Division’s Fuel Modification Unit is responsible for processing, reviewing, and approving these plans.
Cal Fire is responsible for the mapping and revisions to all Fire Hazard Severity Zones across the state. These zone designations establish minimum standards for building construction and exterior landscape features in an effort to mitigate the increasing losses from our cycle of wildfire vents. Cal Fire designates the Severity Zones for all State Responsibility Areas (SRAs). In Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs), the jurisdictional county or city determines the Severity Zones with approval from the state that are then adopted by local ordinance or city councils.

#ALA // The ALA Trainer Summit was held Friday 19 July. Over 65 trainers from across NSW attended the annual event focused on networking and professional development.
This year's summit, held at Mona Vale Surf Life Saving Club Inc, saw the trainers engage with GoodSAM (Ambulance NSW), Laerdal, Zoll, and Craig from SSSAFE who brought some snakes for an interactive workshop. We also had Emergency Response Beacon and Drone sessions run by SLSNSW.
2024 also marked the 20th anniversary of the Australian Lifesaving Academy’s (ALA) inception. Over that time the ALA has trained over 1,000,000 people in CPR and First Aid, promoting SLSNSW to the community.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the past 20 years 💙

Thanks for visiting. I'm a retired Lifeguard Chief for the San Diego Lifeguard Service who has been active in lifesaving, boating safety, and drowning prevention since 1979. Most of my current work, along with much of my work while I served as a professional ocean lifeguard, involves volunteer leadership and authorship in a variety of capacities locally, nationally, and internationally. This website comprises my curriculum vitae, for those who may have an interest. I occasionally offer my services as a consultant to governments, organizations, and in legal proceedings. This website details my qualifications and expertise.
Lifesaving, Boating Safety, and Drowning Prevention Leadership
International Life Saving Federation - President of the Americas Region: The ILS is the world’s international organization of lifesavers, promoting world water safety through a wide variety of initiatives. The ILS promotes drowning prevention efforts, sets international lifesaving standards, conducts the biennial World Lifesaving Championships, and hosts lifesaving conferences. The President of the Americas Region oversees ILS activities throughout the Western Hemisphere (including North, Central, South America, the Caribbean, and Hawaii). (1995 – present)
United States Lifesaving Association - Chair – National Certification Committee (2018 – present, and 1992 – 2005), Editor, American Lifeguard Magazine (2015 – present), Liaison Officer (2015 – 2020, and 2000 - 2003), President (2003 – 2015): The USLA is America's nonprofit, professional association of beach lifeguards and open water rescuers. The USLA works to reduce the incidence of death and injury in the aquatic environment through public education, national lifeguard standards, training programs, promotion of high levels of lifeguard readiness, and other means. The USLA provides the Lifeguard Agency Certification Program, Aquatic Agency Response Team program, www.usla.org website, and conducts the annual USLA National Lifeguard Championships. The USLA is the USA’s Full Member to the International Life Saving Federation.
Water Safety USA- Moderator: Water Safety USA is a roundtable of equals composed of longstanding national nonprofit and governmental organizations with a strong record of providing drowning prevention and water safety programs, including public education. It exists to empower people with resources, information, and tools to safely enjoy and benefit from our nation’s aquatic environments. (2014 - 2019)
San Diego Lifeguard Service- Lifeguard Chief and (concurrently) Harbormaster (Mission Bay)- Agency responsibilities include water rescue of swimmers, marine firefighting, law enforcement via citation and arrest, coastal cliff rescue, swiftwater rescue (flood rescue), ocean rescue of boaters up to three miles offshore, staffing of a 24-hour dispatch center with full 9-1-1 capabilities, and public safety education programs.

Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute Announces Partnership with
California Surf Lifesaving Association
LOS ANGELES – Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute, a world leader in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of sports-related injuries and illnesses, today announced a new partnership with the California Surf Lifesaving Association (CSLSA) as the Official Healthcare Sponsor of the 2022 West Coast Lifeguard and Junior Lifeguard Championships on July 22nd and 23rd.
The California Surf Lifesaving Association is a non-profit (501-C3 tax exempt) organization chartered to promote beach safety awareness and professional open-water lifesaving standards. The 30 CSLSA Chapters/Agencies share the mission, goals and objectives of the CSLSA. The CSLSA (West Coast Region) is one of nine regions of the United States Lifesaving Association, which is affiliated with the International Life Saving Federation.
“We are excited to partner with the California Surf Lifesaving Association because of its commitment to increasing awareness about open-water beach safety and our shared focus on injury prevention,” said Daniel Kharrazi, M.D., sports medicine specialist and orthopedic surgeon, at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute. “As the proud and preferred provider of Southern California’s courageous first responders, our extensive experience in the fields of sports medicine, outpatient surgery, and rehabilitation will help keep lifeguards healthy and, on the beach, so they can continue to do what they do best – protect and save lives.”
As open-water lifesavers, CSLSA promotes beach safety awareness and professional lifeguard standards through public education, training programs, exchange programs, junior lifeguard programs, competition and other means. The ultimate goal is to prevent and reduce aquatic injuries, accidents and death at open-water beaches in the United States and throughout the world.
Bill Humphreys, President of the California Surf Lifesaving Association, stated: “As first responders in a challenging and often dangerous environment, lifeguards must remain in top physical condition as they serve the public. Injuries to lifeguards can be minimized but cannot be prevented entirely. When injuries to lifeguards do occur, top-notch care provided by Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute is needed in order to restore the health and functions of the lifeguard. Because of its outstanding reputation and history of serving first responders, the California Surf Lifesaving Association is very pleased to enter into a partnership with Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute as the Official Healthcare Sponsor. This is a partnership which will directly benefit and serve both lifeguards and the public for many years to come.”

Beach surf lifesaving volunteers
For other uses, see Surf Life Saving (disambiguation).
Surf lifesaving is a multifaceted social movement that comprises key aspects of voluntary lifeguard services and competitive surf sport. Originating in early 20th century Australia, the movement has expanded globally to other countries, including New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.[1] Surf lifesavers in Australia are colloquially known as "Clubbies".
Surf lifesaving originated in Australia in 1907 in response to drownings at local beaches in Sydney. Such groups became necessary following the relaxing of laws prohibiting daylight bathing on Australian beaches.[2] Volunteer groups of men were trained in life saving methods and patrolled the beaches as lifesavers looking after public safety.
There had been some debate between Manly Life Saving Club, Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club and Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club as to which was formed first. After a panel of SLSA historians reviewed all the documentation provided by each club in 2005, SLSA agreed that they recognise Bondi as the first surf life saving club. They stated “A hardy perennial in surf lifesaving history is the question of the first surf club — Bondi or Bronte. As this study has shown, the first group of organised lifesavers formed on Manly Beach in 1899. While moves on Bondi, Bronte and Manly in early 1907 saw the organisation of irregulars, it was the surf bathers of Bondi who first organised themselves as a formal club in February 1907.”[3] The Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club was officially established on February 21, 1907 at the Royal Hotel in Bondi - as was recorded in the newspaper The East Sydney Argus, and in the Waverley Council minutes acknowledging receipt of a letter from the newly formed group.
On 10 October 1907, the Surf Bathing Association of New South Wales (SBANSW) was founded with nine clubs and affiliated associations. The nine “foundation” clubs were the Royal Life Saving Society, Manly Surf Club, Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club, Coogee Surf Life Brigade (Coogee Surf Life Saving Club), Bronte Surf Brigade (Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club), Bondi Surf and Social Club (North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club), Tamarama Surf Club (later disbanded, however nowadays Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club), Maroubra Surf Club (Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club), United Wanderers Surf Club, and Woollahra Surf Club. The first club outside of Sydney was Kiama Surf Bather's Club, founded in 1908.
The first New Zealand Surf Lifesaving Clubs began in the years 1909 to 1910 leading off with: Castlecliff (Wanganui), Lyall Bay (Wellington), New Brighton (Christchurch) and Worser Bay (Wellington). Within the next few years other clubs started forming around five regions: Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Gisborne/Napier/New Plymouth and Wanganui.
In the northern region, Piha Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1934 and as such is the oldest club on Auckland's west coast and is the home of Piha Rescue. Soon after the New Zealand clubs were formed, rivalry began to take place which created the forming of competition between the clubs and regions. By early 1912 competitions were being organised by Wellington's Maranui Club, with male members competing in squads of eight. The competitions consisted of a land drill and 'reel test'. The first New Zealand National Champs where clubs were able to compete was held in 1922.
The Surf Life Saving Great Britain (SLSGB) organisation was formed in 1955. Volunteer clubs patrolled beaches in England at Bude and St. Agnes in Cornwall and at Brighton, their aim to protect, rescue and resuscitate bathers.[4] Voluntary organisations exist in Germany, such as DLRG and Wasserwacht.
Lifesavers are volunteers that typically patrol in groups under a patrol captain for a given period of time on weekend and public holidays under a roster system. In order to be a surf lifesaver a person must hold a Bronze Medallion or a Surf Rescue Certificate and pass an annual proficiency test. Lifesavers who are on patrol wear red and yellow cloth caps on the head. While not performing rescues they are also required to wear long-sleeve yellow shirts and red shorts to provide protection against the sun. Support Operations Lifesavers are required to wear the appropriate functional attire. This includes wetsuits for RWC (Rescue Water Craft) drivers, JRB/ORB (jet and offshore rescue boat) crew and high visibility tabards for Duty Officers who liaise with other emergency services at major incidents. The crews of various Lifesaver helicopter services over the country wear appropriate aviation equipment. Each surf life saving club also has a competition cap with distinct colours or patterns. These are worn during competition and for training on the beach. The patrolled area of the beach is marked out with red and yellow flags and beachgoers are encouraged to swim between the flags. Those wishing to use surfcraft are required to remain outside the flags.
In the UK, SLSGB has a long history of voluntary members patrolling local beaches, offering advice, first aid and rescue services. This continues today and is a vital service to the community. Many local authorities provide a lifeguard service from May to September on popular beaches. In some areas Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Lifeguards operate on behalf of the local authority.
The other key part of surf life saving is the competitive sport which evolved from the training activities of lifesavers at Australian and New Zealand surf beaches, though most events share little with modern Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) based surf rescue techniques. The sport is still based on volunteer clubs which perform rescue duty, from children in the "nippers" category through to professional elite circuits that have been established for the high-profile "ironman" events. The sport is still mainly in Australia and New Zealand. However, the Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service in Canada has run the Nova Scotia Surf League competitions every summer since 2000, and competition programs exist in five regions of Canada. In Europe the sport is increasingly developed, with Italy, Spain and Germany particularly strong and the UK, the Netherlands and Ireland developing rapidly.
Surf life saving clubs regularly hold surf carnivals where clubs compete with each other in a range of beach- and rescue-oriented events including combined swimming and running, surf ski and surf boat races. The youth arm of the clubs is known as Nippers, and holds similar events.
The various events involve elements of surf swimming, board riding, sand running, mock rescues using rowed surf boats, and paddling special kayak-like surf skis. Some events are for individuals, but many are team events.
Individual surf lifesaving events include:
Ironman
Long boat rescue (also called surf boat rescue)
R&R (Rescue & Resuscitation)
March Past
Beach events (including Beach Sprints, Beach Relays, and Beach Flags)
Surf Ski
First Aid Competition, Champion Lifesaver and Patrol Competition
Board events
IRB racing
Individual surf life saving clubs compete at the state and national levels at the annual State Championships and Australian Surf Life Saving Championships where around 450 events are run over nine days of competition with over 6,000 competitors from around Australia and internationally.
Main article: Surf Life Saving Australia
Surf lifesaving in Australia is well-developed as both a voluntary lifesaver service and as a competitive sport. There are 314 surf lifesaving clubs in Australia that collectively patrol over 400 beaches. In the 2003-2004 season there were 24,968 active members (those who are rostered to patrol regularly), of which approximately 40% are women. In the 2003-2004 patrol season, lifesavers performed 9,044 rescues, provided emergency care to 26,739 patients, and undertook 171,965 preventive actions.
Surf Life Savers provide important surf rescue services on beaches in Australia on weekends and public holidays throughout the patrol season on a volunteer basis. In New South Wales the season coincides with the beginning of the September school holidays and finishes on ANZAC Day. They also provide year-round on-call volunteer rescue services in most areas known as Support Services.
Lifesavers are distinguished in Australia from paid lifeguards which are generally employed by the relevant Local Government authority and patrol the beach throughout the year. Lifeguards also patrol lakes, pools, and other aquatic venues. Support Services also operate to augment the patrols on the beach by providing surveillance away from the flag areas and emergency back-up when required.

Here are some essential safety tips for private pools: 1. *Fencing*: Install a sturdy fence around the pool area, at least 4 feet tall, to prevent accidental entries. 2. *Gate and door alarms*: Secure gates and doors leading to the pool with alarms to alert you of unauthorized access. 3. *Supervise*: Always supervise children and inexperienced swimmers when they're in or around the pool. 4. *Swimming lessons*: Ensure all family members know how to swim or take lessons if needed. 5. *Pool rules*: Establish and enforce pool rules, such as no diving, no running, and no swimming alone. 6. *Safety equipment*: Keep rescue equipment like a shepherd's hook, life jackets, and a first aid kit nearby. 7. *Regular maintenance*: Regularly inspect and maintain the pool, its surroundings, and equipment to prevent hazards. 8. *Slip-resistant surfaces*: Use slip-resistant materials around the pool to prevent falls. 9. *Electrical safety*: Keep electrical appliances away from the pool, and avoid using them near water. 10. *Emergency preparedness*: Have a plan in case of emergencies, including knowing CPR and having a phone nearby. Remember, safety is everyone's responsibility! Would you like more information on pool safety?
Boater Safety Guide resource In light of yet another terrible boating tragedy in our port, the Chicago Harbor Safety committee calls for increased situational awareness and boater education. We do not know the details of the investigation but what we do know is that the boat capsized, was damaged, people ended up in the water and a life was lost. Michael McElroy, CHSC President explains, “We need to use this opportunity to reflect on what it means to go boating. There is always an acceptable level of risk that we all take when going out on the water for pleasure or for your livelihood. It’s up to the operator and crew to manage that risk through situational awareness, education, and preparedness.” He further explains, “This includes safe loading and knowing the capacity of your vessel, proper outfitting with life jackets and required safety equipment. This is the time we really need to take stock of our ability to manage that risk and protect each other on the waterways. We must remind ourselves we carry the most precious cargo ever.” Want to be a better-informed boater? Take the Chicago Harbor Safety Committees safe boater quiz. Follow the QR code to the home page, click on the resources tab and select “Safe Boater Quiz” to get some great tips on how to safely navigate the Chicago area waterways. Please be safe out there. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Lorenzo Tobin. Resources: CHSC https://lnkd.in/gkXGsYW4 Boaters Resource Guide to Safe Boating in Chicago PDF

Royal Life Saving Society - Australia
|
https://www.royallifesaving.com.au/about/who-we-are/History
|
The Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) was founded in England in 1891 to combat a high drowning toll. The techniques advocated by the Society were soon adopted by many countries and today the RLSS represents the largest single organisation dedicated to the teaching of lifesaving and the prevention of drowning.
The first Australian Branch was formed in New South Wales in 1894 and the movement soon spread to all States. In December 1924, a dual system of lifesaving was established with Surf Life Saving Australia being responsible for ocean beaches and the Royal Life Saving Society - Australia responsible for all other waterways and stillwater environments.
In subsequent years the Society focused its attention on water safety education and rescue training for inland areas, and particularly for school children. In the immediate pre and post Second World War era the Bronze Medallion was included in many secondary school physical education programs.
During that period, as had been the case for the previous 60 years, the Society's training Manual was imported directly from the United Kingdom and was heavily orientated to a military drill-type approach. However, by the early 1950s a group of dynamic physical educationalists, led by George Turnbull and Frank Henry of the New South Wales Branch, started developing techniques specific to Australian conditions. This controversial but exciting period of the Society's history resulted in 1953 in the first Australian Life Saving Manual.
This period of change in Australia ultimately led to an important international change in 1959 with the establishment of the "Australian National Branch" and the RLSS Commonwealth Society. This time was followed by a period of relative stability, with the water safety and lifesaving programs being used in most Australian schools.
In the late 1970s, the longest and most sustained period of change and growth commenced with the help of a group of Victorian educationalists. At that time no national water safety education program existed. This group recognised that if they could provide a well-balanced and easy-to-follow water safety program, it would be readily accepted by swimming and school teachers nationwide. After trialing a program in a number of States and Territories, the Society launched the "Swim and Survive" program in 1982.
This program was so well structured and in demand from teachers, it resulted in over 1 million awards being taken in just 2 years. At the same time the organisation launched the first edition of "Swimming and Lifesaving - The Manual", a radical and modern looking educational text.

Palm Beach County Ocean Rescue Lifeguards
Palm Beach County Ocean Lifeguards are a team of well trained, highly skilled professionals. They specialize in preventative actions, ocean rescues, and emergency medical assistance to beachgoers. Palm Beach County employs 66 year-round lifeguards and 40 seasonal lifeguards for 14 parks. These men and women are entrusted with protecting and servicing an estimated 5.2 million beachgoers every year, averaging 200 rescues, 630 bathing assists, 16,000 first aids, 113,000 preventative actions, reuniting 30 lost children with their parents and 9,000 participants in their public education events.
But who exactly are these men and women who make up Palm Beach County’s Ocean Rescue?
The 106 guards range in age from the early 20s to the early 60s. A surprising number hold college degrees. Most are married and have children. Former teachers, accountants, firefighters, writers, stock brokers, air traffic controllers, real estate agents, business people, and lawyers have all worn the Palm Beach County lifeguard uniform. Most have worked for Palm Beach County for over 10 years; 17 over 20; and a dozen over 30.
Palm Beach County Ocean Rescue is an agency certified by the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA). While all lifeguards hold certifications in lifeguarding, CPR/AED and Emergency Medical Response- first aid, most surpass this, a majority are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT), several are certified paramedics, in SCUBA, and some have a boat captain license.
Regardless of age and work experience, Palm Beach County Ocean Lifeguards are all exceedingly skilled and trained ocean athletes. All lifeguards train daily to hone their swimming, running, rowing, paddling, and rescue skills to ensure not only the public’s safety but also their own. Formal training drills, led by Training Officers, are conducted at least twice per month to keep skills sharp. To maintain their jobs, they must biannually pass a timed swimming and running test, which is a requirement of each USLA agency.
Aiding the effectiveness of the lifesaving operation is the use of a wide range of equipment. Most inlet parks have Rigid Hull Inflatable Rescue Boats or a Rescue Water Craft, and All Terrain Vehicles are in operation at most beaches. Each lifeguard tower is fully stocked with first aid supplies, a back board, oxygen, resuscitation equipment, an Automated External Defibrillator, and rescue tubes and paddle boards.
The skills and rigorous training of these dedicated professionals has yielded some notable awards:
1996 – Beach Patrol of the Year by the Florida Beach Patrol Chief’s Association
2003 – First place in the Bill Shearer International Basic Life Support Competition at CLINCON
2004 – First place in the USLA National Surf Lifesaving Championships
2016 – Beach Patrol of the Year by the Florida Beach Patrol Chief's Association
2018 – First place in the Southeast Regional USLA Surf Lifesaving Championships
Seven Palm Beach County Ocean Lifeguards have been named Lifeguard of the Year in the state of Florida
2020 – Beach Patrol of the Year by the Florida Beach Patrol Chief’s Association
2021 – First place in the Southeast Regional USLA Surf Lifesaving Championships
2022 – First place in the Southeast Regional USLA Surf Lifesaving Championships
Palm Beach County Ocean Lifeguards are a diverse group of highly trained and dedicated individuals who offer an outstanding life saving service to all visitors of County beaches.
Lifeguard Tryouts
Ocean Rescue is conducting a seasonal Ocean Lifeguard test. The testing process is in two stages.
1. A Run/Swim/Run continuously for approximately 20 – 25 minutes

The Rehoboth Beach Patrol will once again host lifeguard-athletes from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region as they compete in sand and surf events this July for the right to compete in the United States Lifesaving Association’s national competition.
The 2024 United States Lifesaving Association’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Championships will begin at 9:30 am Wednesday, July 10. The beach venue for this year’s competition will move from Rehoboth Beach to Towers Beach in Delaware Seashore State Park due to construction of Rehoboth’s beach patrol headquarters at Baltimore Avenue.

This will be the 27th consecutive year that the Rehoboth Beach Patrol has been selected to host this event, which draws 250-350 lifeguard-competitors from New York to Virginia.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to host the 43rd annual lifesaving championships just as we have for more than 25 years,” says Rehoboth Beach Patrol Captain Jeff Giles. “We’re looking forward to an expanded competition with additional events. The day is filled with action-packed competition that can’t be seen in any other forum.”
This event showcases the skills and knowledge necessary to be an ocean lifeguard. The event schedule includes competitions traditionally held in Rehoboth such as a 90-meter sprint, 2K beach run, 4 x 90 soft-sand beach relay, 400-meter surf swim, swimmer rescue race, landline rescue race, paddleboard rescue race, run-swim-run, surf dash, and beach flags. In addition, surf skis and board events, which traditionally have been held in New Jersey, will be held in Delaware for the first time this year.
“The level of local and regional talent competing will put on a show not to be missed,” says fifth-year Rehoboth Beach Patrol guard Sophia Gulotti. “We performed well last year, and everyone is excited to see who has what it takes to win a championship and qualify for the nationals in South Padre Island, Texas.”
The United States Lifesaving Association is America’s nonprofit professional association of beach lifeguards and open water rescuers. USLA works to reduce the incidence of death and injury in the aquatic environment through public education, national lifesaving standards, training programs, promotion of high levels of lifeguard readiness, and other means.
Established in 1921, the Rehoboth Beach Patrol is considered one of the nation's leading lifesaving agencies with 103 years of excellence in safety and lifesaving competition as well as a 700-member alumni association prepared to guide the RBP to continued excellence.

Welcome
The Volusia County Junior Lifeguard Program was started in 1990 as a springboard for education in water safety, lifesaving techniques and beach ecology. We are dedicated to providing our participants with the best instruction possible so that one day they can be confident and efficient lifeguards. Our Junior Lifeguard instructors are professionals in the areas of beach lifeguarding, ocean safety and related activities. Tryouts and camps are held each summer. To participate, youths must be between 9 and 15 and pass tryouts. Selected youths can then attend the junior lifeguard camps held weekly beginning in June. Please enjoy our site and remember to always swim in front of a staffed lifeguard tower! For more information, contact us at jrlifeguard@volusia.org.

A tragic incident at St Agnes, nearer to Land’s End on the north coast, would eventually bring Cornwall’s second surf lifesaving club into existence and justify the creation of a national association. On 10 August 1954 a visitor to the village got into difficulties in a very rough sea, close to rocks which had once been a harbour. A local man, Jack Plowright, grabbed the lifebelt and line, kept at the beach for emergencies, and swam out towards the man in trouble. He got to where he could all but reach the casualty but by then the 75ft lifeline was fully paid out and, wisely, he would not let go.
Plowright’s effort and the ferocity of the sea were beginning to get the better of him when a woman, Joan Pugsley, waded, then swam out through the waves with another rope. She reached the would-be rescuer and they were both pulled back to the beach and safety, but not before receiving a battering on the rocks. The visitor sadly drowned.
The community were all too well aware after this accident that a lifebelt and a heavy hemp rope half the length of a football pitch were woefully inadequate for rescuing people from the surf. They found out about the help Bude had received from Australia the previous year and asked if they, too, could be loaned a reel and modern nylon line. Meanwhile, a group of local people set about training through the winter and, with the guidance of the Bude lifesavers, a St Agnes Surf Lifesaving Club was founded. Then, in the spring of 1955, a meeting was held in St Agnes coastguard station which concluded that, with three surf clubs now in existence – Brighton Beach in Sussex had just created one – a Surf Lifesaving Association of Great Britain should come into being.
As a mark of proud parental approval, the High Commissioner of Australia invited a deputation from St Agnes to Australia House in London in May 1955 to be presented with a belt, line and reel, a gift from North Bondi Surf Lifesaving Club. In August, an eight-strong squad of St Agnes lifesavers were awarded their Bronze medallions and the movement was up and running. The growing popularity of surfing and board riding through the 1960s and 70s, inspired locals to form surf lifesaving clubs at many beaches in South West England and Wales.

Competition on and off the beach is fierce, enabling surf lifesavers to practise their skills and improve their fitness. Members compete at all levels, from intra-club to regional, national and international.
The sport of surf lifesaving combines history with modern sporting practice. The surfboat race, belt race, rescue and resuscitation, and the march-past are still contested. Although no longer part of current practice, they honour the teamwork, friendship and traditions of surf lifesaving. The inclusion of individual events and the acceptance of professional athletes reflect broader cultural changes.
Tens of thousands of people attended carnivals in the 1920s and 1930s and they were also staged to commemorate royal visits, the sesquicentenary and the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Early carnivals included novelty events such as pillow fights, chariot races and a tug of war but these were phased out due to concerns they would undermine the serious nature of surf lifesaving.
Today the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships are surf lifesaving's premier event, attracting up to 8,000 competitors.
One of the greats
Bob Newbiggin was a champion swimmer, breaking the Australian Junior 110-yard record in 1937 and competing in the Empire Games the following year. But it was in the surf that he became a legend.
Newbiggin dominated surf races before and after the Second World War. Always a powerful swimmer, it was his ability to pick the best wave and ride it to the beach that won him many races.
A break from war
Australian armed forces serving overseas often held their own surf carnivals. In places such as Gaza, Tel Aviv, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, Vietnam and Iraq, soldiers have competed in surf races, rescue and resuscitation events and the march-past.
Sport was encouraged as a leisure activity for off-duty soldiers but surf lifesaving, with its emphasis on discipline and drill, was considered to be particularly suitable.
Competing with sharks
In January 1949 Raymond Land was competing in the rescue and resuscitation event at a surf carnival. As beltman, he swam out to rescue the 'patient'.
Twenty metres from the buoy, he signalled that he was in trouble. The line was caught on a rock so the patient and the number three linesman swam to his aid. They had almost reached him when a shark attacked. Raymond was taken to shore on a surf ski but died from his injuries
The ultimate event
Hayden Kenny won the first Australian Ironman title at Coolangatta in 1966. Adapted from an American event, the ironman includes a surf ski leg, board paddle and swim, with beach sprints between sections.
In the 1980s the ironman event provided a much-needed boost to surf lifesaving, attracting corporate, media and public interest. A 42-kilometre ironman event was staged for the filming of The Coolangatta Gold in 1984 and attracted over 100,000 spectators. Guy Leech won the actual event while the reigning Australian Ironman champion, Grant Kenny, starred in the film.
The ironwoman event was introduced in 1992 and women also compete in the recently revived Coolangatta Gold event.
Ironman Grant Kenny
Grant Kenny won his first Australian Ironman title in 1980, 14 years after his father had achieved the same feat. Grant's win was remarkable because he won both the Junior and Open titles within an hour of each other.
Grant won three more national ironman titles. His success sparked the resurgence of the ironman event and promoted surf lifesaving competition.
Beyond the horizon
Allan Kennedy was one of many administrators who promoted surf lifesaving overseas. He started the first club in Cornwall, England, and helped establish the Surf Life Saving Association of Great Britain.
As part of the 1956 Olympic Games celebrations, an international surf carnival was held at Torquay, Victoria. Kennedy called a meeting of international surf lifesaving representatives and they formed the International Council of Surf Life Saving.
Surf Life Saving Australia maintains a strong influence in international surf lifesaving.

Origins of the Life-Saving Service
During the 1830s and 40s, Congress authorized, and funded, shipwreck rescue operations through the Revenue Marine Service and local, private rescue crews--but most of this money went to New England. A Congressional act in 1854 marked the beginning of facilities and crews established by the federal government as opposed to the previous facilities and crews which were simply funded by the government.
However, the outbreak of the Civil War stalled these efforts. For more information on the influence of the war on Core Banks, visit the Civil War Along the Outer Banks webpage.
The service was reorganized and improved after the war by the new head of the Revenue Marine Service, Sumner I. Kimball. It has been said that hiring Kimball in 1871 was "the single most important event" in the history of the service. Numerous new stations were built, staffed, and supplied during the 1870s. In June of 1878, the Life-Saving Service was officially established within the Treasury Department.
Stations on Core Banks
Three stations were built on Core Banks in what is now Cape Lookout National Seashore. The first station, named the Cape Lookout Life-Saving Station, was built in 1888 about two miles south of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. The Portsmouth Life-Saving Station was built in 1894 within the boundaries of Portsmouth Village, at the northern end of the park. Both of these stations are standing today and the Portsmouth Station includes exhibits describing the Life-Saving Service and the lives of surfmen.
The Core Banks Station--built in 1896 and located around mile 20 of the park--was destroyed in a fire in the 1970s.
Although located farther apart than the Secretary of the Treasury's 1878 recommendation of 5 miles, these stations represented a significant improvement in life-saving efforts on North Carolina's southern coast.
Cape Lookout National Seashore has compiled a list of Life-Saving Station Keepers for all three stations, as well as a listing of individual surfmen for the Porstmouth Life-Saving Station.
Daily Duties
Many people associate surfmen with daring rescues and unmatched heroism, and rightly so. But, much of their time was spent on drills. Sumner Kimball believed that only training and repetition sharpened a person's lifesaving skills.
A lifesaver's week began on Monday with training in the Beach Apparatus Drill. This drill prepared the surfmen to rescue shipwreck victims close to shore using the breeches buoy. Lines would be fired from the Lyle Gun to the ship and secured by the passengers based on the instructions printed on the Tally Board. Then, the breeches buoy would be sent out and the passengers, one by one, would be transported to the shore. The drill had to be done in five minutes or less. Any crewman who was found to be delaying the drill's execution could be fired on the spot. Sumner Kimball claimed he had seen a drill done in two and a half minutes.
Tuesday was devoted to boat practice, including the righting of surfboats. The crew practiced signal flag techniques on Wednesday and repeated the Beach Apparatus Drill on Thursday. On Friday the crew could be found practicing first aid and rescue breathing techniques. Everyone pitched in to clean the station and quarters on Saturday.
In addition to practicing daily drills each surfman walked a four hour beach patrol in the evening. During this time they kept a watchful eye on the ocean looking and listening for the sounds or signs of a ship in distress. In other areas, beach checks were exchanged between the surfmen of neighboring stations to verify that the patrols were being completed. However, the three stations on Core Banks were too far apart to use this method. Watchmen's clocks were used instead. Posts marked the ends of the patrol area. The clocks were installed on these posts along with a key for the clock. The patrolling surfman would insert the key into the clock and the patrol would be recorded.
Rescue Equipment
Surfmen had three basic methods of rescuing shipwreck victims: the surfboat, the breeches buoy, and the life car. The surfboat is possibly the most well-known method of rescue. The crew would row this small boat to the site of the wreck and load victims on the rescue boat to be taken to safety. The breeches buoy was, essentially, a pair of shorts sewn into a life preserver. Lines were sent out to the ship and victims were pulled back to shore while sitting in the breeches buoy. The life car employed a similar method: a line was sent out and individuals got inside the small metal tube, closed the hatch, and were pulled to the shore.
The Keeper of the station would select the method he felt would be best for each particular rescue. If that method failed several times, he would select another. If that method also failed, the crew would attempt the third. Only if all three methods failed could the Keeper declare that a rescue was impossible.
This requirement is, in part, why the unofficial motto of the U.S. Life-Saving Service was, "You have to go out; you don't have to come back."
In cases where the rescuers demonstrated extraordinary effort or extreme and heroic daring, the surfmen could be awarded a Silver or Gold Lifesaving Medal, respectively. The rescue of the Sarah D.J. Rawson by the surfmen of the Cape Lookout Station merited such an award.

From jellyfish-infested waters in Australia to wave-pounded beaches in SoCal, these red-flagged retreats are the world's most dangerous spots for swimmers.

Swimming in a pool, especially a private plunge pool at a tropical resort, is a real treat. But it's no match for paddling around in open water, whether that be a river, a lake, or the sea. Splashing in a natural body of water is not only soothing and liberating, it's also therapeutic, shown to improve one's health, lift our mood, and reduce depression and anxiety. All around the world, places invite travelers to swim, to revel in the water for a cooling dip or extended float.

From unknown Caribbean vacation destinations to sensational island beaches in Japan, there are tons of spots all over the planet to splash, frolic, lounge, and plunge with abandon. However, some swimming locales may look inviting — with beautifully crafted slashes of nature that call out to travelers, especially seductive on a searing hot day — but pulse with hidden danger. From unseen currents to shocking pollution, the water in some locations should be avoided at all costs, even if you're desperate for an invigorating, refreshing dip.
The list of superlatives of the defining waterway of South America makes for some eye-opening reading. It's the biggest river on the continent, has the most far-reaching drainage network on the planet, and is long enough that it would comfortably bridge the distance between London and the Pakistani city of Karachi. Some parts of the river are narrow enough to see the other bank, but other sections are broad enough that the Amazon appears like a sea.
Advertisement
The currents also vary, quickly turning from calm and languid to strong and savage. That, in itself, is reason enough to avoid a swim here, but another deterrent is the dangerous wildlife that lives within. The Amazon River, which winds through many countries in the continent, is a regional artery that supports wildlife like piranhas, caimans (similar to alligators), and electric eels. Adventurous travelers exploring the Amazon River could conceivably take a dip and emerge unscathed, but is it worth the gamble?
The town of Broome, in the north of Australia, has long been a hub for the pearling industry. It's also the gateway to trips to the striking red-rock scenery of the remote Kimberley region, much of which is only accessible by boat. But Broome is also a vacation destination in its own right, where sunset camel rides on the town's most famous stretch of sand are a rite of passage. Cable Beach is a wide piece of waterfront that stretches for miles.
Advertisement
The swimming is wonderful, and for years, it was one of the few places in the country where people could sunbathe in the buff without anyone batting an eye. During the warmer months, however, from November through May (summer and fall in the Southern Hemisphere), the beach is beset by jellyfish. Not just any old jellyfish, but dangerous box varieties like the small Irukandji, whose sting can lead to intense pain and breathing problems for swimmers.
The pulsing economic center of the most populous nation in the world, Mumbai is a roiling metropolis of construction, traffic, and endless tides of people. It has some of the most addictive street food in India and cool hangout spots like the food center at Juhu Beach, which is close to the chic JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu.
Advertisement
For Mumbaikers, Juhu is a family-friendly escape from the freneticism of the city, a place to peer out at the sea, survey the coastline as it curls away to the left, and have a bite to eat while catching some sea air. But sadly, it's also an environmental blight. Every day, piles of garbage — some dropped by beachgoers, some washed up from the water — blanket the mud-colored sand. And if that wasn't off-putting enough, the water here teems with raw sewage, with the city regularly dumping untreated effluence into the sea.
On the North Island's Coromandel Peninsula, Hot Water Beach is a fun place that has to be experienced to be believed. Thanks to the unique geothermal makeup of this part of New Zealand, heated spring water courses below the sand. When the tide is high, the warm section beach is covered by the sea, but two hours before and after low tide, that area reveals itself. During that compact window, beachgoers descend on the beach with spades in hand to dig small pits in the sand.
Advertisement
The pools fill with hot water — hence the name of the beach — creating a natural heated tub perfect for a restorative soak. Travelers can also walk along the sand that's nice and toasty during this time, but what they shouldn't do is go for a swim deep into the sea. The surf is strong, and the currents are extremely powerful, with strong rip currents (even in knee-deep water) that can easily yank a swimmer out to sea.
On a hot summer day, the kind where the sun beats down with unrelenting fury, a cooling leap into a swimming hole can feel like you just escaped from jail. In Oregon, High Rocks is a swimming area in the Clackamas River, in the town of Gladstone, and easily accessible from Portland. It's a broad spot, named for the picturesque boulders and outcroppings on the riverbanks. Visually, the place is immensely appealing, but swimmers beware.
Advertisement
People have drowned here, including healthy young adults, unexpectedly due to several factors. The water is very cold, which might seem like a bonus on a hot day, but can come as a real shock to the system. The currents are swirling and strong, and can suddenly sweep a bather away. And those rocky formations, which are so attractive above water, also create hidden ledges below — these can be fatal for a cold, tired bather who can't fight the current and gets trapped in them.
Up and down the coast around Los Angeles, a number of beaches attract residents of Southern California. Everyone has their favorite, from Zuma Beach in Malibu where dolphins can be spotted offshore, to the steep cliffs at Torrey Pines that allow visitors to admire the Pacific from afar. Huntington State Beach is also an attractive bit of waterfront, spreading over 121 acres. It pulls in active types for its volleyball and basketball courts, the paved trail is popular with runners and bikers, and the beach and its cool ocean waters attract water sports enthusiasts.
Advertisement
But that water is often relentless and raging, with strong breaks that are a boon for surfers. Rips are also commonplace, with sandbars forming along the water to create unpredictable currents. According to figures from the United States Lifesaving Association, there were almost 4,000 rescues made on Huntington Beach in 2022, an average of more than 10 people per day. Don't be one of them.
This beach on the island of Nusa Penida, near Bali, is the kind of place that gets tourism brochures flying off the proverbial racks. To call it stunning is an understatement — you'll see high, sharp, and eroded cliffs overlooking soft, crumbly sand by clear, azure water. The beach is most easily accessed by boat, though it can also be reached via a coastal hike, and there's one particular cave that helps to frame some stunning shots. Although the area is beautiful, there is a swimming ban in place. However, some tourists still take to the sea — and drown.
Advertisement
Deaths have been recorded as recently as 2023, with travelers misjudging the strength of the waves and the violent power of the undertow and the rip currents. The cliffs also make the water very precarious, with swimmers running the risk of the waves bashing them against the rocks. This is one place to look, but not leap.
A grand body of water that touches four states — Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan — Lake Michigan has long attracted water lovers. Whether it's for boating, fishing, swimming, water sports, or sunset viewing from its eastern shore, the lake is a wellspring of enjoyment. The Great Lakes might seem like large, placid bodies of water, but they are not. Crashing waves and potent currents, including rips, occur with frequency, which may be surprising given that the lakes aren't tidal.
Advertisement
The winds, rivers, and streams that feed the lake all create water turbulence, and these can produce channels under the surface that are strong but not visible from the shore. While these currents can affect all the lakes, the most dangerous, as borne out by statistics, is Lake Michigan. According to figures from the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project, of the 81 drownings in the Great Lakes in 2023, 39 (almost half) were in Lake Michigan, with deaths occurring in all four states.
The islands of Greece are a dream for vacationers in search of idyllic beaches. Scattered around the Aegean Sea, the isles are like jewels in an expanse of turquoise and deep blue, plots of land large and small with varying topography (some are volcanic, like Santorini). The island of Ikaria sits closer to Turkey than the Greek capital of Athens and is a destination with charming villages, rugged interiors, and sublime sandy shorelines. There are fabulous beaches all over the island, but Nas Beach might just best them all — a small cove tucked between headlands that cedes to stunning clear water.
Advertisement
Getting here requires trekking down a rocky hill, but the payoff is worth it. However, this north coast beach has a sea floor that suddenly plummets a little out from the shore. The waves create strong currents that, combined with the rocky edges, spell disaster for swimmers who can be dragged out quickly or smashed against the rocks.
On the north coast of Colombia, Palomino Beach provides visitors with a long stretch of waterfront on the Caribbean Sea. The town isn't large but has become a vacation hotspot, with hotels, resorts, shopping, and places to eat and drink populating the small grid of streets. The beach remains the main attraction though, unfurling along the coast for more than one mile and lined with palm trees. It does, however, suffer from erosion, and at high tide, there is limited space to enjoy it.
Advertisement
The waves are powerful, as are the currents, making swimming treacherous at any time of the year. At the western edge, where the Palomino River empties into the sea, currents can also be unpredictable, even for locals. In late 2023, on Christmas Day, a revered Colombian indigenous leader drowned at the mouth of the river while trying to save some people swimming — a sad, sobering reminder of the unanticipated power of water.
One of a string of beaches along the coastline of Puntarenas, southwest of the Costa Rican capital of San Jose, Playa Hermosa has slowly built a reputation as a spot for great surfing. It's close to the town of Jaco, where a well-developed tourist infrastructure allows visitors to eat, drink, be merry, play beach volleyball, and dance the night away. Many, no doubt, are drawn by the surfing, with surf schools operating here, and a long beach — it stretches for miles along the Pacific Ocean — making entry points easy.
Advertisement
The beach is quiet, a stark contrast to the lively ambiance of Jaco, but it's also wildly natural, with repetitive and reliable waves forming powerful barrels. For swimmers, it's a definite no-no, with perilous currents and rip tides. Even beginner surfers should charge with caution. This is the domain of seasoned wave riders, but even they have been known to perish here. American surfer Kalani David died in the waves of Playa Hermosa in 2022 after having a seizure in the strong surf.
Due south of the town of Oaxaca, in the southern half of Mexico, this beach refuge is a great place to spend a few days and disconnect from the world. It's a fun place to visit, with great food — Oaxaca state is famous for its cuisine — and cool places to hang out. And the beach is generously proportioned and promises views both of the sunrise and sunset. But Playa Zipolite, which is book-ended by headlands, is known for its swirling currents that can send swimmers far out to sea or drag them in toward the shore with immense force.
Advertisement
And the currents are not easy to spot or predict. Sometimes bathers get caught in rip tides, which will spit them some distance from the beach, and the open water of the Pacific Ocean can be hard to navigate. Take our advice and hit the beach for a stroll or a sunset drink, then swim in your hotel pool.
A town set on a rugged coastline of the Eastern Cape province, Port St. Johns appeals to visitors in search of some untamed nature. This part of the country has been named the Wild Coast, a place not besmirched by rampant development, where travelers come for craggy coastal bluffs and windswept beaches. Set back from the water, the dense forest is a realm for some secluded walks, but it is perhaps the beach that draws most visitors.
Advertisement
It also attracts whales and dolphins, which can be spotted on tours, as well as sharks, especially at Port St. Johns Second Beach. In the period between 2009 to 2014, eight people were killed by shark attacks on this beach. The last victim was a tourist from Austria who was standing in the shallows close to the sand. The Eastern Cape, according to the safety organization Shark Spotters, is where most unprovoked shark bites in South Africa occur, with white, bull, and tiger sharks all roaming the waters here.
The Indian Ocean island is another paradise for fans of the great outdoors. The densely forested mountains and regions of the island are so stunning that about 40% of the island, where the landscape is dominated by volcanic structures and huge cliffs, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The scenery here is spectacular with a capital "S" — with gorges, peaks, plateaus, escarpments, plains, rainforests, and of course, silky seas. Hundreds of microclimates dot the island, and rich environments on the land and in the water are home to a range of plants and animals.
Advertisement
Among the residents of the ocean that circles Réunion are sharks, and some of them get fresh with swimmers. According to data from the Florida Museum's International Shark Attack File, there were 19 shark attacks in Réunion between 2012 and 2021, with eight of them deadly (in Hawaii, during the same period, there were three fatalities). Swimming is actually banned in many parts of the island for this very reason.
In the south of Spain, not far from the town of Huelva, the name of this river hints at what visitors can expect. Literally translating to red, or stained, river, Río Tinto is indeed a waterway with a rusty tinge. For many miles, the river winds its way through an area where, hundreds of millions of years earlier, volcanoes were prevalent.
Advertisement
Deposits of sulfide ore accumulated, and now, those minerals, when exposed to water and air, turn the river water acidic and attract bacteria that give the water its distinct hue. Visitors shouldn't venture into the water, even for bragging rights, since it has a pH equivalent to that of vinegar — not fun. While it's certainly a remarkable sight to experience, and one that might have you scratching your head in disbelief, the river is toxic and can be dangerous to your health (it will also stain your clothes).
On an electric stretch of coastline east of Honolulu, Sandy Beach Park is a gorgeous slice of waterfront. A long, sandy ribbon, the beach sits close to Koko Crater, the Hanauma Bay Preserve, which is a top spot for snorkeling in Hawaii, and by the explosive Halona Blowhole. Rocky headlands sit at one end of Sandy Bay, and visitors can admire the waves crashing up against them. Take note of that force. It gives an idea of the energy of the ocean here: the kind of crushing power that can smite an unsuspecting swimmer.
Advertisement
The beach is a big draw for surfers, lured by the strong breaks, big barrels, and incessantly pounding surf. Heavy waves hammer the shore here, and they'll hammer you too if you get caught out, easily flipping you upside down or dragging you to the ocean floor. Little surprise, then, that this piece of Hawaii waterfront is known as Broke Neck Beach. There are also sections of reefs, with sharp, unforgiving corals that will slice open any exposed skin with the efficiency of a sous chef.
The activist organization Surfers Against Sewage has been at the forefront of highlighting the filthy water around the coastline of the United Kingdom, producing an annual report on its quality. Many places have levels of pollution and bacteria that make swimming unsafe, and among them is St. Mary's Bay, on the south coast of England, a short distance from the famous White Cliffs of Dover.
Advertisement
St. Mary's Bay may not have direct sewage flowing into its long shoreline, but the shingle beach, which yields to deep sand flats at low tide, has terrible water quality with high levels of intestinal bacteria. Bathing here is not advisable. The U.K.'s Environment Agency categorized the water quality at St. Mary as poor in both 2022 and 2023. Even before that, the sea here wasn't ideal, with the prior two years showing it only received a rating of sufficient — hardly a resounding endorsement for a prospective swimmer.
A compact stretch of sand near Bondi Beach — one of the most famous beaches in the world — Tamarama Beach is one of three Waverley beaches (along with Bondi and Bronte) that are easy to access from the center of Sydney. While it might not have the global cachet or the crowds of Bondi, it is a fine piece of waterfront and only a few hundred feet across. The beach also features bathrooms, barbecue facilities, and showers for rinsing off that sticky sand.
Advertisement
Some poke fun at Tamarama for the glamorous Sydneysiders that descend here on a warm summer day, but whatever the clientele, it's an undeniably alluring spot. At least it is for the beach. Swimming conditions here are another matter, and even with lifeguards on duty, bathers enter the water at their own peril. The surf is strong and merciless, and strong currents include rip tides. Unsurprisingly, people in the water will typically be experienced surfers.

SAVING LIVES ACROSS SA BEACHES AND WATERWAYS
Surf Life Saving South Australia (SLSSA) is one of the state’s most iconic and highly trusted volunteer organisations, working tirelessly on the frontline, and behind the scenes, of coastal and in-land water safety.
Dedicated to protecting the lives of locals and visitors alike, over 9,000 members from 22 clubs volunteer more than 80,000 hours a year along South Australia’s coastline from Whyalla to Beachport.
From the land, water and sky, South Australia’s passionate and diverse team of surf lifesavers patrol every weekend and public holiday between October and April, while the State Emergency Operations Group (EOG) operate 24/7 response teams consisting of Rescue Water Craft (jetskis), Jet Rescue Boats, RPAS (drones), and the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter.
But the red and yellow flags are just one part of the story. Beyond emergency and rescue services, SLSSA provides surf sport competition, vital training and water safety education across metro, regional and rural locations, and, importantly, a community hub and place of belonging. By taking a holistic approach to water safety, SLSSA strives to build stronger, connected and inclusive communities, and safer beaches and waterways for all.

On 25 July, communities from across the globe came together to highlight World Drowning Prevention Day.
A special thank you to everyone who supported World Drowning Prevention Day and raised awareness across Australia.
Drowning is preventable. By coming together, we can raise awareness of the importance of drowning prevention and eliminate preventable drowning deaths.
Our work doesn’t stop here. Please continue to share our messages to help us create a water-loving nation free from drowning.
Anyone can drown, no one should.
Every year, Royal Life Saving produces the National Drowning Report, examining the factors that contribute to drowning deaths in Australia by examining who, where, when and how people have drowned in Australian waterways. We are ever mindful that these stories in this report are of real people whose lives have been lost or impacted by drowning. We seek to advocate and collaborate to reduce the impact of drowning on the community.

Drowning is a global concern, yet almost a third of the world’s 236,000 drowning deaths in 2019, occurred in the Western Pacific.1 Considering the region’s geography, the pervasiveness of water transport and frequency of disaster-related risk, the true scale of drowning in the Western Pacific region is likely to be even greater. Given this significant, yet preventable drowning burden, there is an urgent need to enhance the evidence around effective interventions across the region and expand their implementation and evaluation.
This year represents the tenth year since WHO released the first Global Report on Drowning,2 which highlighted drowning as a neglected public health issue. The report outlined ten actions to prevent drowning globally, which were followed by seven key recommendations that were refined for the Western Pacific context (Panel 1).1 Below we discuss these Western Pacific recommendations and highlight exemplars and opportunities within the region.
Australia, a global leader in drowning prevention, has pioneered the development of a National Water Safety Strategy,3 via the Australian Water Safety Council. The Australian Water Safety Council, as a national designated agency, leads collaboration across the many and diverse partners which make up the water safety and drowning prevention sector. Efforts of the sector are aligned to the goals of the National Water Safety Strategy,3 exemplifying the first three recommendations for the Western Pacific region (Panel 1). This coordinated effort has seen Australian unintentional drowning rates decline however, significant progress must be made in many life stages, locations and activities to achieve the aspirational goal of reducing drowning by 50% by 2030.4
Formalised, multisectoral partnerships are central to cooperative drowning prevention which underpins the third recommendation for the Western Pacific region (Panel 1). Such partnerships are vital to address underlying global drivers of drowning risk such as migration and climate. The Pacific Islands Climate Action Plan represents an excellent example of multisectoral partnership,5 that would benefit from greater recognition and integration of the role climate plays in drowning risk within the region.1 Another example that integrates drowning prevention within broader injury prevention and health strategies serving to improve public safety systems, is China’s Healthy China 2030.6 This multisectoral initiative strives for broad health promotion to move from vision to action at the national level,6,7 and represents the first medium- to long-term strategic plan to actively invest in the health sector to promote social and economic benefits.7 Given the significant economic impacts caused by preventable drowning incidents, applying this lens to the prevention of drowning is key.
Meaningful actions cannot be achieved without political commitment and funding. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) provides excellent examples of government investment into drowning prevention and resilience through its legislation and funding (Panel 1). With accidental drowning the 8th leading cause of death in the CNMI, the introduction of legislation and resources to implement infrastructure8 and build resilience against climate and weather-related challenges,9 serve to reduce drowning risk by supporting drowning prevention implementation within the community.
Due to the geography of the Western Pacific region, safe boating interventions aimed at preventing drowning are particularly relevant. Legislation is central to safe boating and shipping regulations2 but can be difficult to understand and enforce.1 A recent collaboration with Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the US Coast Guard saw personnel exchange knowledge, operational data and practices to enhance boating safety, emergency operations and maritime response.10 This example of interagency collaboration and review of legislative practice embodies key themes of Western Pacific recommendations 4 and 5 (Panel 1), serving to maintain currency of practice, response capacity, and thus mitigate risk.10
Acknowledgment of disaster-related drowning risk is also increasingly relevant to the region. Japan’s 2011 earthquake and tsunami left 15,900 people dead; more than 90% of which were caused by drowning.11 As a disaster countermeasure, the Japan Lifesaving Association reaffirmed the importance of integrating water safety programs into disaster prevention through the establishment of Water Safety Week. Recently the Japan Lifesaving Association signed a cooperative, interagency agreement, and are now collaboratively providing water safety education and conducting joint rescue and evacuation training using the tsunami flag. The Japan Lifesaving Association leads rapid, effective, lifesaving disaster response actions with national agencies and local governments. As a lead water safety body in Japan, they have shared their experience and learnings, raising the international profile of disaster-related drowning as a global concern.
The sixth recommendation acknowledges that evaluations of drowning preventions are urgently required (Panel 1)1 but rarely proactively coordinated across the region, likely due to challenges around collating robust drowning data systems to drive multisectoral response. The recent COVID-19 response saw Palau launch a comprehensive digital health software which could serve to enhance surveillance and reporting of drowning incidents by improving data collection.12 Evaluating the effectiveness of capturing drowning data with this approach, may support similar digital health ecosystem enhancements in other Western Pacific nations, as well as drive future drowning prevention strategies and calls to action.
Drowning prevention has benefited greatly from the increased visibility, political attention, and advocacy opportunities afforded by global and regional reports,2,3,5 United Nations General Assembly and World Health Assembly Resolutions and the advent of World Drowning Prevention Day on July 25.13,14 In recognition of this year’s World Drowning Prevention Day theme “Do one thing, improve one thing, add one thing”, we propose what we need to (i) do, (ii) improve, and (iii) add, to further Western Pacific drowning prevention efforts:
(i) Empower and support lower-resourced countries to develop and implement multifactorial drowning prevention actions. Opportunities for knowledge sharing should be established and partnerships should encourage effective, sustainable and locally-led solutions as intended outcomes.
(ii) Bridge the gap between the available data and the urgent needs of program evaluation. Integrated and comprehensive information systems that collect multi-source heterogeneous data should be better supported for information sharing and data-driven decision-making across agencies and countries.3,12 Implementation of new systems and programs will also provide evaluation opportunities that inform future interventions.
(iii) Embed drowning in disaster risk reduction agendas. Remote island populations in the Western Pacific are particularly vulnerable to climate-related threats1 and meteorological disasters. In particular the combination of sea level rises and natural disasters, further weaken the geographically dispersed and fragile health systems and hinder prevention capacities.5
Drowning remains a neglected yet multisectoral issue, that spans the diverse Western Pacific region. How we collectively collaborate, respond, and react to significant threats such as the climate crisis, as well as shifting technological opportunities, will shape the future drowning burden and define how many lives we save over the next decade.

Beach surf lifesaving volunteers
For other uses, see Surf Life Saving (disambiguation).
Surf lifesaving is a multifaceted social movement that comprises key aspects of voluntary lifeguard services and competitive surf sport. Originating in early 20th century Australia, the movement has expanded globally to other countries, including New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.[1] Surf lifesavers in Australia are colloquially known as "Clubbies".
Surf lifesaving originated in Australia in 1907 in response to drownings at local beaches in Sydney. Such groups became necessary following the relaxing of laws prohibiting daylight bathing on Australian beaches.[2] Volunteer groups of men were trained in life saving methods and patrolled the beaches as lifesavers looking after public safety.
There had been some debate between Manly Life Saving Club, Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club and Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club as to which was formed first. After a panel of SLSA historians reviewed all the documentation provided by each club in 2005, SLSA agreed that they recognise Bondi as the first surf life saving club. They stated “A hardy perennial in surf lifesaving history is the question of the first surf club — Bondi or Bronte. As this study has shown, the first group of organised lifesavers formed on Manly Beach in 1899. While moves on Bondi, Bronte and Manly in early 1907 saw the organisation of irregulars, it was the surf bathers of Bondi who first organised themselves as a formal club in February 1907.”[3] The Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club was officially established on February 21, 1907 at the Royal Hotel in Bondi - as was recorded in the newspaper The East Sydney Argus, and in the Waverley Council minutes acknowledging receipt of a letter from the newly formed group.
On 10 October 1907, the Surf Bathing Association of New South Wales (SBANSW) was founded with nine clubs and affiliated associations. The nine “foundation” clubs were the Royal Life Saving Society, Manly Surf Club, Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club, Coogee Surf Life Brigade (Coogee Surf Life Saving Club), Bronte Surf Brigade (Bronte Surf Lifesaving Club), Bondi Surf and Social Club (North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club), Tamarama Surf Club (later disbanded, however nowadays Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club), Maroubra Surf Club (Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club), United Wanderers Surf Club, and Woollahra Surf Club. The first club outside of Sydney was Kiama Surf Bather's Club, founded in 1908.
The first New Zealand Surf Lifesaving Clubs began in the years 1909 to 1910 leading off with: Castlecliff (Wanganui), Lyall Bay (Wellington), New Brighton (Christchurch) and Worser Bay (Wellington). Within the next few years other clubs started forming around five regions: Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Gisborne/Napier/New Plymouth and Wanganui.
In the northern region, Piha Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1934 and as such is the oldest club on Auckland's west coast and is the home of Piha Rescue. Soon after the New Zealand clubs were formed, rivalry began to take place which created the forming of competition between the clubs and regions. By early 1912 competitions were being organised by Wellington's Maranui Club, with male members competing in squads of eight. The competitions consisted of a land drill and 'reel test'. The first New Zealand National Champs where clubs were able to compete was held in 1922.
The Surf Life Saving Great Britain (SLSGB) organisation was formed in 1955. Volunteer clubs patrolled beaches in England at Bude and St. Agnes in Cornwall and at Brighton, their aim to protect, rescue and resuscitate bathers.[4] Voluntary organisations exist in Germany, such as DLRG and Wasserwacht.
Lifesavers are volunteers that typically patrol in groups under a patrol captain for a given period of time on weekend and public holidays under a roster system. In order to be a surf lifesaver a person must hold a Bronze Medallion or a Surf Rescue Certificate and pass an annual proficiency test. Lifesavers who are on patrol wear red and yellow cloth caps on the head. While not performing rescues they are also required to wear long-sleeve yellow shirts and red shorts to provide protection against the sun. Support Operations Lifesavers are required to wear the appropriate functional attire. This includes wetsuits for RWC (Rescue Water Craft) drivers, JRB/ORB (jet and offshore rescue boat) crew and high visibility tabards for Duty Officers who liaise with other emergency services at major incidents. The crews of various Lifesaver helicopter services over the country wear appropriate aviation equipment. Each surf life saving club also has a competition cap with distinct colours or patterns. These are worn during competition and for training on the beach. The patrolled area of the beach is marked out with red and yellow flags and beachgoers are encouraged to swim between the flags. Those wishing to use surfcraft are required to remain outside the flags.
In the UK, SLSGB has a long history of voluntary members patrolling local beaches, offering advice, first aid and rescue services. This continues today and is a vital service to the community. Many local authorities provide a lifeguard service from May to September on popular beaches. In some areas Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Lifeguards operate on behalf of the local authority.
The other key part of surf life saving is the competitive sport which evolved from the training activities of lifesavers at Australian and New Zealand surf beaches, though most events share little with modern Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) based surf rescue techniques. The sport is still based on volunteer clubs which perform rescue duty, from children in the "nippers" category through to professional elite circuits that have been established for the high-profile "ironman" events. The sport is still mainly in Australia and New Zealand. However, the Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service in Canada has run the Nova Scotia Surf League competitions every summer since 2000, and competition programs exist in five regions of Canada. In Europe the sport is increasingly developed, with Italy, Spain and Germany particularly strong and the UK, the Netherlands and Ireland developing rapidly.
Surf life saving clubs regularly hold surf carnivals where clubs compete with each other in a range of beach- and rescue-oriented events including combined swimming and running, surf ski and surf boat races. The youth arm of the clubs is known as Nippers, and holds similar events.
The various events involve elements of surf swimming, board riding, sand running, mock rescues using rowed surf boats, and paddling special kayak-like surf skis. Some events are for individuals, but many are team events.
Individual surf lifesaving events include:
Ironman
Long boat rescue (also called surf boat rescue)
R&R (Rescue & Resuscitation)
March Past
Beach events (including Beach Sprints, Beach Relays, and Beach Flags)
Surf Ski
First Aid Competition, Champion Lifesaver and Patrol Competition
Board events
IRB racing
Individual surf life saving clubs compete at the state and national levels at the annual State Championships and Australian Surf Life Saving Championships where around 450 events are run over nine days of competition with over 6,000 competitors from around Australia and internationally.
Main article: Surf Life Saving Australia
Surf lifesaving in Australia is well-developed as both a voluntary lifesaver service and as a competitive sport. There are 314 surf lifesaving clubs in Australia that collectively patrol over 400 beaches. In the 2003-2004 season there were 24,968 active members (those who are rostered to patrol regularly), of which approximately 40% are women. In the 2003-2004 patrol season, lifesavers performed 9,044 rescues, provided emergency care to 26,739 patients, and undertook 171,965 preventive actions.
Surf Life Savers provide important surf rescue services on beaches in Australia on weekends and public holidays throughout the patrol season on a volunteer basis. In New South Wales the season coincides with the beginning of the September school holidays and finishes on ANZAC Day. They also provide year-round on-call volunteer rescue services in most areas known as Support Services.
Lifesavers are distinguished in Australia from paid lifeguards which are generally employed by the relevant Local Government authority and patrol the beach throughout the year. Lifeguards also patrol lakes, pools, and other aquatic venues. Support Services also operate to augment the patrols on the beach by providing surveillance away from the flag areas and emergency back-up when required.

World Drowning Prevention Day 2024
In April 2021, the United Nations adopted the historic first Resolution on Global Drowning Prevention, recognising the scale of the problem, calling for coordinated action to prevent drowning and marking the 25 July as World Drowning Prevention Day.
Aquatic Centres, Swim Schools and Community Groups are encouraged to promote and support World Drowning Prevention Day, to shine a spotlight on and raise awareness of that fact that "anyone can drown, no one should".
From Going Blue, Sharing Resources and Sharing Local Stories - Be part of the global movement to prevent drowning and promote water safety.
Prepare for the unexpected.
Kids will be kids. And we love them all. Cute, funny, quiet, wild, angelic, studious, all of them with their own unique personalities, all of them unpredictable. One day the side kick and the curious one the next, with everything in between. Which is why we love them even more!
But they have one thing in common: Kids can’t help themselves around water, you need to. Keep Watch.

Recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the world federation for surfing sport, the International Surfing Association (ISA) operates out of La Jolla, California, USA.
President Fernando Aguerre (ARG) was first elected to head up the ISA in 1994 and has since been re-elected eight times.
Surfing-sport is popular worldwide. Currently there are 93 competing nations spanning 5 continents who are official members of the ISA.
The ISA organises World Championships in: surfing (Junior, Masters and the World Surfing Games); stand up paddling (SUP) and paddleboarding; longboarding; kneeboarding; adaptive surfing (disability) and bodyboarding.
The first ever World Championships were held in 1964 on Manly Beach, Australia even though the origins of surfing are attributed to Hawaiian and Polynesian culture centuries before.
“Along with its World Championship Series, the ISA works to develop global surfing by providing educational programs in the areas of Judging and Officiating; Coaching and Instructing; Surf School Accreditation; Adapted Surfing; and also provides an ISA Individual Scholarship Program for Junior (under-18) surfers.” ISA Mission Statement
Surfing is one of eight finalist-sports for inclusion into the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games; a final decision will be made at the IOC Session in August 2016 after the Olympics Games in Rio de Janeiro.
“With its youthful values and engagement, surfing has incredible global appeal and a unique and modern blend of high performance, style and culture - traits which we believe would add huge value to Tokyo 2020." President Aguerre
It would be major milestone for paddlesports if surfing is admitted into the 2020 Olympic programme because stand up paddling could feature as one of the disciplines on the surfing schedule. Events held could include: SUP surfing (providing beachbreak competitions are chosen over wave machines/pools); ocean-racing; technical racing; and flatwater sprint and marathon.
With Olympic status, there would be significant opportunities to promote other surf-paddlesports internationally including kayak surfing, waveski, ocean-racing and lifesaving (surfski).

Over sixty Island Scouts join 8,000 others at International Jamboree for fun, discovery, and adventure

Isle of Wight News from OnTheWight

https://onthewight.com/isle-of-wight-scouts-join-global-peers-at-international-jamboree-2024/
|
Over sixty members of Isle of Wight Scouts have joined 8,000 other Scouts and Guides at the Essex International Jamboree 2024 at Boyton Cross near Chelmsford, Essex.
The Isle of Wight Scouts Contingent comprising 50 young people aged 10 to 17 and 14 adult volunteers departed from East Cowes on Saturday (27th July) morning.
The contingent reached the jamboree site at Boynton Wood at 3:30pm and were met by the advance party of six adult volunteers who had driven to the site the day before. The Contingent are camping on the Nile Sub-Camp, one of 11 Sub Camps named after river systems.
Transformed by 1,500 volunteers
The 120-acre green field site at Boynton Wood is transformed by 1,500 volunteers into a fully operational tented village. It has all the facilities you’d expect – water, showers, toilets, electrics, communications, food distribution, health and welfare services and even a beach!
The event was opened on the evening of Saturday 27th July with a big ceremony attended by all participants at which the Isle of Wight’s new Scout Contingent flag was paraded. The event closes on Friday 2nd August with the Isle of Wight Contingent returning home on Saturday 3RD August.
A week of fun, discovery and adventure
With 8,000 Scouts and Guides from all over the world in camp together it will be a week of fun, discovery and adventure, embracing the spirit of Girlguiding and Scouting.
There is a varied and exciting selection of activities for participants including a range of adventurous, creative and cultural activities following the Scout and Guide programme, as well as opportunities to meet new friends from around the world.
Entertainment and activities
In the evening, the Jamboree becomes even more vibrant with lots of different entertainment venues and activities.
A particular feature of the event will be a food festival showcasing regional food. The Isle of Wight Contingent will be showcasing Island food from The Garlic Farm, Briddlesford Farm, the IOW Cheese Company, the IOW Biscuit Company, IoW Tomatoes and the Rock Shop, Shanklin.
Burt: An unforgettable experience for our young Islanders
Ali Burt, Contingent Leader for Isle of Wight Scouts, said,
“After many years (due to Covid preventing the attempt in 2020) of planning and fundraising Essex International Jamboree promises to be an unforgettable experience for our young Islanders, providing skills for life, building new friendships, and memories to last a lifetime.
“I want to thank everyone who has helped us and these young people along the way, particularly all the companies who supplied products for the food festival.”
Get involved
Scouting is the largest voluntary sector provider of activities for young people on the Isle of Wight but without the support of adult volunteers none of this would be possible.
We have uniformed and non-uniformed volunteer roles in Scout Groups and Units across the Island and welcome enquiries via the website or our Facebook page @IsleofWightScouts.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess lifeguards’ knowledge retention of airway management, oxygen administration, and ventilation interventions following certification and employer-provided training. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey administered between February and May 2024. A total of 1322 responses from Canadian lifeguards certified in airway management and oxygen administration were deemed eligible for analysis. The survey included 15 knowledge assessment questions, with data analyzed based on lifeguard experience and the date of last certification or in-service training. Results: The mean knowledge assessment score was 10.4 ± 2.2 (69.3 ± 14.6%), with the highest scores in the airway management category and the lowest in the oxygen administration category. Lifeguard experience significantly increased knowledge retention, whereas recertification showed no significant impact, and employer-provided training significantly decreased knowledge retention. Conclusions: The findings underscore the importance of lifeguarding experience in knowledge retention among lifeguards. Optional airway management and oxygen administration recertification, coupled with inconsistent in-service training, have created significant gaps in lifeguard education. This study identifies the need for regular, competency-based training delivered by qualified facilitators. Addressing these gaps is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of lifeguards in emergency response and ensuring high-quality care for drowning victims.

Abstract
:
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess lifeguards’ knowledge retention of airway management, oxygen administration, and ventilation interventions following certification and employer-provided training. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey administered between February and May 2024. A total of 1322 responses from Canadian lifeguards certified in airway management and oxygen administration were deemed eligible for analysis. The survey included 15 knowledge assessment questions, with data analyzed based on lifeguard experience and the date of last certification or in-service training. Results: The mean knowledge assessment score was 10.4 ± 2.2 (69.3 ± 14.6%), with the highest scores in the airway management category and the lowest in the oxygen administration category. Lifeguard experience significantly increased knowledge retention, whereas recertification showed no significant impact, and employer-provided training significantly decreased knowledge retention. Conclusions: The findings underscore the importance of lifeguarding experience in knowledge retention among lifeguards. Optional airway management and oxygen administration recertification, coupled with inconsistent in-service training, have created significant gaps in lifeguard education. This study identifies the need for regular, competency-based training delivered by qualified facilitators. Addressing these gaps is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of lifeguards in emergency response and ensuring high-quality care for drowning victims.
1. Introduction
Drowning is a significant global public health issue [1] and ranks as one of the leading causes of unintentional injury deaths worldwide, with an estimated 236,000 deaths annually [2]. Despite its prevalence, the true burden of drowning is often underrepresented due to inconsistent data collection and reporting, especially for nonfatal drownings, which can result in long-term disabilities and substantial economic costs [3,4,5,6]. In Canada, the incidence of fatal drownings in supervised environments is notably low, with approximately 1% of drownings occurring under lifeguard or instructor supervision [7]. Lifeguards are the first line of response in supervised aquatic environments, playing a pivotal role in drowning prevention, water rescue, and resuscitation efforts [4,8].
Lifeguard training varies significantly by country and region, affecting preparedness and effectiveness. Different regions have distinct standards and protocols, influencing the quality and comprehensiveness of training programs. This variability can impact the outcome of drowning events and resuscitation [9]. The literature indicates that well-trained lifeguards are better equipped to prevent incidents and perform timely rescues and effective resuscitation [10,11].
Lifeguards in Canada are predominately employed professionals who work in a wide variety of aquatic settings ranging from swimming pools and large waterparks to waterfronts and surf beaches. Professional lifeguard training in Canada is standardized by the Royal Life Saving Society—Canada (known as the “Lifesaving Society”). Canadian lifeguards complete a series of courses including the Bronze Medallion & Bronze Cross certification courses (40 h combined), a Standard First Aid certification course (13–16 h), and the National Lifeguard course (40 h) [12]. This pathway provides the skills, knowledge, judgement, and fitness necessary to work as a professional lifeguard in pool or waterfront environments. Additional specialized training is available for waterpark and surf environments. Lifeguards are recertified every two years by completing at least 4 h of evaluated training, commonly accompanied in BC and the Yukon with 2–4 h of optional review and updates known as “precertification”. Recertification in Standard First Aid and CPR/AED is also recommended.
Uniquely, all lifeguards in British Columbia (BC) and the Yukon participate in an Airway Management and Oxygen Administration (AMOA) course (4 h) delivered concurrently with the National Lifeguard course [12]. The requirement to have practical AMOA training can be attributed to provincial guidelines [13]. While other jurisdictions in Canada may offer lifeguards training in oxygen administration and/or airway management, training is optional and may not coincide with the National Lifeguard course. To receive AMOA certification, lifeguards must demonstrate skill proficiency through practical assessment of oropharyngeal airway (OPA) insertion, oral manual suctioning, bag valve mask (BVM) ventilation, and oxygen administration [14]. Although AMOA certification has a currency of two years, recertification is not required to maintain lifeguard certification and is rarely offered.
Lifeguard employers in Canada, most commonly municipal governments (e.g., cities), private organizations (e.g., YMCAs), and educational institutions (e.g., universities), are responsible for hiring certified lifeguards, orientating them to their workplaces, and facilitating in-service training. In-service training is a crucial component of lifeguard professional development by maintaining proficiency and confidence in emergency response [15]. These sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge and provide practical, hands-on experience essential for skill retention. It fosters a culture of continuous improvement and preparedness, allowing lifeguards to practice under simulated emergency conditions, enhancing their confidence in real-life situations [16,17,18]. Consistent with International Life Saving Federation recommendations [19], the Lifesaving Society’s national safety standard recommends training be conducted as often as possible and, at a minimum, CPR skill training should occur every 6 months [20].
Oxygen administration and BVM ventilation by trained rescuers are generally recognized as beneficial for drowning victims based on the hypoxic nature of drowning and the physiological effects of water aspiration; however, there is no direct evidence supporting its use [21,22,23,24,25]. Despite this, the use of these devices is recommended for lifeguards as non-healthcare professionals (laypersons) with a duty to respond in aquatic environments [19,26,27], provided they receive regular competency-based training to achieve and maintain proficiency [23,28,29,30].
Despite the critical importance of immediate intervention in drowning, the current literature is sparse and often inconclusive regarding the effectiveness of prehospital treatment by lifeguards [27,31]. Consequently, lifeguard training programs often rely on general guidelines based on expert consensus and physiology-driven approaches rather than data-driven practices [32,33]. This can result in inconsistent care, potentially compromising patient outcomes. Further research is needed to establish the theoretical and practical training necessary for lifeguards to achieve competency in advanced lifesaving skills such as oxygen administration, oropharyngeal airways, BVM ventilation, and manual suction [30,34]. This gap extends to the optimal frequency of training required to maintain knowledge and proficiency over time [21,26,28,35]. This study employed an online survey to assess the knowledge retention of Canadian professional lifeguards who had completed airway management and oxygen administration training.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Study Design
This study was designed and implemented following the Consensus-Based Checklist for Reporting of Survey Studies (CROSS) proposed by the Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) Network [36]. We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire. The design of this study was adapted from Bieliński and Jaśkiewicz [37] and influenced by previous surveys on lifeguard experience and knowledge retention [10,38,39,40].
2.2. Questionnaire Development
An original survey with 3 sections and 25 questions was developed using Qualtrics software version January 2024 (Qualtrics Labs Inc., Provo, UT, USA). Two additional questions were for participants employed as lifeguards or requiring current certification, and one additional question was for those who reported completion of recertification training (see Table 1). Questions related to demographic characteristics, lifeguard experience, and perceptions were identified through a selective literature review [10,37,38,39,40]. Knowledge assessment questions were derived from the Lifesaving Society’s AMOA course curriculum and were reviewed to ensure validity and reliability.
Knowledge assessment questions included multiple-choice and true or false questions. For scoring purposes, each correct question was assigned one (1) point, while incorrect or missing answers were assigned zero (0). The maximum possible score was fifteen (15). Other sections of the questionnaire included mixed question formats, including short answer, Likert-type scale responses, multiple-choice, and rank order.
2.3. Pretesting
Informal respondent and expert-driven pretesting was conducted using the survey before full administration. This included pretesting with 20 respondents (16 newly certified and 4 experienced lifeguards) and 2 experts (lifeguard trainers). The pretest identified that 75% of respondents could complete the questionnaire within 10 min. Survey questions were amended to provide clarity and remove ambiguous terminology. The final questionnaire is provided in File S1.
2.4. Sample Characteristics and Sample Size
Lifeguards were able to participate in the study if they were currently, or had previously been, certified in Airway Management and Oxygen Administration in BC and the Yukon. Convenience sampling was used to recruit potential participants through recruitment posters at aquatic facilities and training provider locations as well as by email post-certification from the certifying agency. Lifeguards certified in other provinces or territories and lifeguards who had not completed the AMOA course were excluded from the study. Participation in the survey was voluntary and anonymous.
The population size of 11,126 was established by the number of certifications issued since the AMOA course launch in 2021. Using a 95% confidence level and a 5% error margin, the minimum sample size was 372. The survey was successfully delivered to 9985 lifeguards by email and supported by recruitment posters, resulting in 1329 total responses. Six responses were ineligible due to missing data and one response was discarded for ballot stuffing. With 1322 complete responses, an error margin of 2.5% and a response rate of 13.2% was achieved. The sample characteristics are consistent with the population, aligning with an internal Lifesaving Society research report dated 2009 [41].
2.5. Survey Administration
Ethical approval was granted by the Behavioural Research Ethics Board (H24-00014) at the University of British Columbia. Informed consent was obtained from participants. Participants were advised of the anticipated completion time of 10–15 min, that the research findings would be submitted for publication in a research journal, and that the research data were anonymized. The investigators and purpose of the study were disclosed to participants in the survey cover letter. A chance to win one of five lifeguard tool kits (valued at $69) was offered as an incentive for participation. A total of 1172 (88.7%) of 1329 respondents opted to take part in the incentive raffle draw. This suggests that the incentive appealed to respondents, highlighting the significance of additional motivation in boosting survey participation.
The survey was administered online through Qualtrics software between 15 February and 5 May 2024. For participants contacted by email, one follow-up email was sent to participants who had not completed the survey within two weeks. Qualtrics’ bot and duplicate-response detection features were used to assess submission validity. Flagged submissions were reviewed by the investigators and one duplicate response was discarded.
2.6. Procedures
Participants were requested to complete the survey independently without referencing any course materials or other sources of information (e.g., web search, instructors, coworkers, etc.). They were encouraged to share the survey with other qualified lifeguards, but not to discuss the questions with others who had not yet completed the survey.
2.7. Data Analysis
Data were collected using Qualtrics software and statistical analysis was performed using RStudio version 4.3.3 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) and Qualtrics Stats iQ statistical software version May 2024. Demographic scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics; additional numerical variables are reported as mean with standard deviation or median with interquartile range as appropriate.
One-way ANOVA testing was performed when assessing the impact of categorical variables on knowledge assessment scores. In cases where multiple categorical variables could affect the assessment score, two-way ANOVA testing was performed to verify results. Normality of the residuals was tested by examining normalized Q-Q plots and fitted residual histograms; all reported data follow normality, eliminating the need for nonparametric testing. To assess relationships between continuous ordinal variables, Pearson’s correlation coefficient is reported with a 95% confidence interval. The significance level for all tests was predetermined to be p < 0.05.
Six questionnaires missing one-third (5) or more of the questions (data missing completely at random) in the knowledge assessment section were excluded. A total of 14 questionnaires with fewer than one-third (5) of questions answered were assigned a zero on missing questions. For all other sections, any missing data (<2%, within the margin of error) were reported as “Prefer not to answer” or omitted from the analysis.
3. Results
A total of 1322 lifeguards were included in the study.
3.1. Lifeguard Demographics, Experience, and Training/Certification
The mean age of lifeguards was 23 ± 10 (M = 19 ± 7), with the majority under 21 years of age (59.9%, n = 786). The majority of lifeguards were female (57.6%), employed in a role requiring current lifeguard certification (69.8%), and more than half of lifeguards (58.6%) had 2 years or less of volunteer or professional experience (Table 2).
3.2. Knowledge Assessment
The mean score of the 15-question knowledge assessment was 10.4 ± 2.2 (69.3 ± 14.6%). The mean scores (±SD) per 5-question category were as follows: airway management: 3.7 ± 1.0 (74 ± 20%), oxygen administration: 3.2 ± 1.2 (64 ± 24%), and ventilation: 3.6 ± 1 (72 ± 20%). Question topics and the frequency of correct answers are presented in Table 3. File S1 includes the questionnaire with the original knowledge assessment questions. There is a weak positive relationship between total score and age (ρ = 0.2; 95% CI [0.19, 0.29]). Lifeguards who reported current employment as a lifeguard or in a role requiring certification (n = 923) had a mean overall score of 10.6 ± 2.2 (70.7 ± 14.7%). A total of 32 lifeguards received 15/15 (100%) on the knowledge assessment.
Knowledge retention of oxygen administration was weakest amongst the three categories. Analysis of the questions concerning oxygen administration identified that lifeguards struggle to determine the clinical indications of administrating oxygen. The frequency of correct answers was notably low for administering oxygen based on hypoxic conditions requiring immediate oxygen (52.9%) and oxygen saturation assessed by pulse oximetry (57.6%). Likewise, a significant number of lifeguards believed that there is no risk of harm by administering oxygen to victims who do not require it (53.3%).
The most consistent predictor of total score was found to be years of lifeguarding experience (p < 0.001), with total score consistently increasing with experience (Figure 1 and Table 4).
Time since the original lifeguard training course also had a significant (p < 0.001) impact on the total score (Figure 2 and Table 5). However, in this case, the total score sharply decreased between less than 3 months and 3–5 months and increased as time increased (p < 0.001, excluding < 3 months).
Neither time since the most recent employer in-service or orientation training (p = 0.869) nor time since the most recent recertification course (p = 0.497) had a statistically significant impact on total score. To account for confounding variables due to the correlation of recertification and experience, two-way ANOVA testing was performed. Length of experience lifeguarding and time since most recent recertification were both analyzed. The results showed a significant difference in the total score when recertification time was held constant and experience varied (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference (p = 0.483) when recertification was varied with experience held constant. Similar results were observed when adjusting for experience in relation to the time since most recent employer-provided in-service or orientation training.
Lifeguards who most recently attended employer-provided training that included AMOA content performed significantly worse compared to training that did not include AMOA content (Figure 3 and Table 6).
After adjusting for employer-provided training conducted more than one year ago as a confounding variable, training of oral airways and manual suction had statistically significant total score decreases, whereas training of oxygen administration and bag valve mask ventilation had statistically insignificant total mean score decreases (Table 6).
3.3. Excluded Questions
In this study, five survey questions measuring experience and perception were excluded from data analysis. Two of these questions related to personal experience and three of the questions related to learning preferences. These questions were designed to test a separate hypothesis within the context of curriculum development. Secondary findings will therefore be published separately, allowing for a more detailed and rigorous analysis.
4. Discussion
The principal findings of this study show that length of lifeguard experience significantly influences knowledge retention in airway management, oxygen administration, and ventilation. The results also indicate that proximity to lifeguard recertification and employer-provided training do not significantly impact knowledge retention when adjusted for lifeguard experience, suggesting that current training practices may be less effective than anticipated. This underscores the need for more focused training programs to ensure that lifeguards maintain critical lifesaving skills.
The results presented in Table 5 show a clear pattern in lifeguards’ knowledge retention over time following initial certification. Lifeguards scored highest during the first three months, indicating that training knowledge was still fresh. A significant drop in the 3–5-month period indicates rapid knowledge decline, followed by a marginal increase in the 6–12-month period, maintained during the 1–2 years period, suggesting stabilization but not a full recovery. A significant increase after two or more years suggests that long-term practical experience and repeated application of skills enhance knowledge retention. This pattern highlights the importance of ongoing practical experience and frequent refresher training within the first 2 years post-certification to maintain competency. The authors considered whether changes in training curricula could explain score variances; however, no significant changes occurred.
Concerns were identified regarding lifeguards’ understanding of oxygen administration. Lifeguards receive theoretical and practical training in the AMOA course on the clinical indications for administering oxygen based on select hypoxic conditions or pulse oximetry to minimize potential harm [42]. This aligns with evidence suggesting that, while there is no harm in prehospital oxygen administration for victims experiencing respiratory distress or hypoxia (e.g., nonfatal drowning), routine oxygen administration can lead to adverse outcomes for certain patient groups (e.g., acute myocardial infarction, stroke, etc.) when not indicated [21,43,44]. Despite their training, lifeguards struggled to identify clinical indications for administering oxygen and recognize the harm of unnecessary oxygen administration. These findings highlight a critical gap in knowledge, with the potential to impact quality of care [23]. Training should emphasize accurate assessment of hypoxia, proper use of pulse oximetry, and understanding the risks of routine oxygen administration. Addressing these gaps is essential to ensure that lifeguards can make informed decisions during emergencies.
Consistent with the recommendation of organizations such as the International Life Saving Federation and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation [21,26], the results of the study highlight the value of regular competency-based training [21,28]. In a study similar to this, Bieliński and Jaśkiewicz [37] suggest that poor knowledge retention despite recertification training is the result of “ineffective recertification and its rarity of occurrence”. The optional nature and lack of adoption result in rare AMOA recertification within BC and the Yukon, preventing lifeguards from receiving consistent competency-based training.
Despite the majority (56.8%) of employed lifeguards participating in employer training in the last 3 months, a significant number of lifeguards reported that training did not include manual suction (70.7%), oral airways (39.4%), BVM ventilation (39.8%), or oxygen administration (31.5%). Employers are encouraged to reassess the frequency with which their lifeguards receive training containing AMOA content. It is concerning that when AMOA content was included, knowledge assessment scores showed either no increase (oxygen administration and BVM ventilation) or a statistically significant decrease (oral airways and manual suction). Employers should consider the qualifications of training facilitators and the integration of recognized training materials to reduce quality concerns. The knowledge assessment was designed to assess content mastery, comprising mandatory content from the AMOA curriculum. Since any part of the content could be used in a real-life rescue, the poor results (mean score of 70.7 ± 14.7%) of currently employed lifeguards further underscore the necessity of enhanced training, as current methods leave noticeable gaps in lifesaving program content.
The principles of the Utstein Formula for Survival (FfS) can be applied in the context of lifeguard resuscitation training to highlight quality guidelines (science), efficient training (education), and effective integration (local implementation) as factors that can improve cardiac arrest survival [9,45]. The addition of oxygen, bag valve masks, airways, or any other intervention to the lifeguard toolkit will not increase the survival of drowning alone. Certifying agencies and lifeguard employers must understand that successful resuscitation extends beyond the critical moment of resuscitation itself [29]. Ultimately, the FfS concept outlines that survival is driven by medical science, education, and local implementation [9,25]. This study illustrates that agencies and employers share the responsibility of producing effective lifeguards through a collaborative approach that combines foundational education and professional development. This responsibility extends to consideration of the full spectrum of factors that contribute to resuscitation outcomes, which should be addressed prior to implementing advanced lifesaving interventions. This holistic approach ensures that lifeguards are not only equipped with the necessary tools, but also possess the knowledge and skills to use them effectively in real-world scenarios.
One of the notable strengths of this study in comparison to other surveys is its large sample size, which enhances the generalizability and robustness of the findings. The extensive participation provides a comprehensive understanding of knowledge retention among lifeguards in airway management, oxygen administration, and ventilation. Additionally, the design of the survey gives fresh consideration to the potential influence of employer in-service and orientation training on reinforcing knowledge retention. Despite the large sample size, the survey was confined to BC and the Yukon due to the inconsistent availability of AMOA training in Canada, potentially limiting the applicability of the findings to other regions. The AMOA curriculum, while consistent with other lifeguarding programs, lacks an evidence-based foundation due to a general shortage of drowning research. In addition to established research gaps in oxygen administration and bag valve mask ventilation, the effectiveness of oropharyngeal airways and manual suction in drowning or cardiac resuscitation by lifeguards is not well studied [33]. Certifying agencies should critically analyze existing AMOA training models before adoption to ensure practices align with evidence-based research and quality guidelines.
Similar to previous studies, unanswered questions remain regarding the optimal frequency and content of recertification needed to maximize knowledge retention and training quality. A research gap was identified during the literature review when a recommended minimum threshold or standard (e.g., “passing score”) for knowledge assessments could not be identified. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of employer-provided training for advanced interventions and its impact on long-term knowledge retention and practical skills. Studies involving practical assessments or simulations under stress could provide deeper insights into the actual preparedness of lifeguards in real-life situations.
5. Conclusions
The findings of this study reveal significant gaps in the knowledge retention of airway management and oxygen administration among Canadian lifeguards, underscoring the critical influence of lifeguarding experience on maintaining these essential skills. The findings highlight the limited impact of recertification and employer-provided training on knowledge retention, suggesting that current training practices may not adequately reinforce these life-saving skills. Notably, lifeguards with greater professional experience demonstrated higher knowledge retention, emphasizing the importance of practical exposure over time. This study underscores the need for more effective and standardized training programs, as highlighted by the Formula for Survival, which emphasizes quality guidelines, efficient training, and effective integration to improve emergency response outcomes. Addressing these gaps is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of lifeguards in providing high-quality emergency care.
6. Limitations
The study was confined to lifeguards in BC and the Yukon, the only province and territory of Canada with universal adoption of AMOA training. The inconsistent availability of AMOA training in other provinces and territories posed a risk to the internal validity of the study due to participant bias. However, the AMOA program’s comprehensive curriculum is similar to airway management and oxygen administration training available in Canada and internationally, supporting the generalizability of the study results. While consistent with previous lifeguard knowledge retention studies [10,37,39,40], the conventional scoring mechanism of the questionnaire did not permit the assessment of partial knowledge. Partial credit could impede the study’s design of assessing mastery of knowledge and obscure the identification of gaps in full comprehension.

If you are a Surf Lifesaver, your mahi may count towards your Award. Surf Lifesaving have active Award Units in Bethells Beach and Mairangi Bay, so if you live in those area you may be able to connect with a Surf Lifesaving Award Leader. You can only claim Recognition of Prior Learning (RPA) if you are doing your Award through a Surf Lifesaving Award Unit.
If you are a Surf Lifesaver at another location, you can still use your lifesaving activities towards your Award. You will need to provide your Award Leader with information on how your activities meet criteria for your Award sections and find an adult at Surf Lifesaving to be your Assesor.
Note that the requirements of the Award must be met, so you may need additional activity time to complete your Award. This could be in the activity you are already doing and/or another activity.
Below is a list of many of the activities that fit with each of the Award sections. You can use other suitable activities, however these are the ones that are an integral part of Surf Life Saving.
Service: Your time on patrol as a lifeguard counts towards this, along with any of the other volunteer activity that you do around your club, school, sport or community. Coach or manage a sports team, fundraise for a charity, volunteer at the SPCA, become a leader at a youth club.
Physical: All of your surf sport training and competition activities contribute to this, as well as any other sports you may do such as soccer or netball, athletics, skiing, kayaking, kickboxing, horse riding, running, dancing
Skills: All the surf lifeguard awards and qualifications you do can count towards this, along with skills you develop in other areas eg: play a musical instrument, learn a craft such as jewellery making, referee or umpire for a sport, learn sign language, drama and theatre skills
Adventurous Journey or Exploration: This is something that you will plan for, it involves being part of a team and completing an expedition for a set number of days. Journeys do not have to be done on foot, they can also be done on horseback, in a boat, on a bicycle – in fact anything without an engine!

John R. Todd is a Registered Professional Forester in the State of California and he was employed as a forester by the Los Angeles County Fire Department from 1988 to 2012. In April 2012, John was promoted to the rank of deputy fire chief of the Prevention Services Bureau (PSB). The PSB is comprised of the Fire Prevention Division, the Forestry Division and the Health Hazardous Materials Division. Members of the Bureau serve the citizens of Los Angeles County by completing inspections and educating the community about the benefits of proper safety practices, completing building, sprinkler, and fire alarm plan checks, protecting natural resources, providing conservation education programs and advice to interested groups, using technology to assess weather, fuel moisture, and fire danger, and protecting public health and the environment from accidental releases and improper handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes.
John received a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources Management from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 1988. He has also completed many advanced courses in leadership, the Incident Command System, fire behavior, protection of resources, and urban search and rescue.
The dry, sunny climate and variable terrain of Southern California combine to create an environment where wildfires are a part of the natural ecosystem and an almost year-round occurrence. This ecosystem fosters a diverse fire-adapted community of plants and animals. Although human caused wildfires far outnumber naturally occurring wildfires within Los Angeles County, both have the potential to create situations where structures in the Wildland Urban Interface can be at risk. All vegetation will burn, even though irrigation has created a deceptively lush landscape of ornamental plants.
Following the loss of lives and structures during the 1993 wildfire season, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors created the Wildfire Safety Panel to offer recommendations that would help reduce the threat to life and property in areas prone to wildfires. One of the recommendations was to follow the findings of the Wildland Urban lnterface Task Force and another was to enforce the provisions of the Bates Bill. Jurisdictional Fire Departments were required to establish a set of guidelines and landscape criteria for all new construction in Fire Hazard Severity Zones. As a result, Fuel Modification Plans became a requirement within Los Angeles County beginning in 1996.
In the areas served by the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, all new construction, remodeling fifty percent or greater, construction of certain outbuildings and accessory structures over 120 square feet, parcel splits and subdivision/developments within areas designated as Fire Hazard Severity Zones will require a Fuel Modification Plan approval before the applicable land division, Conditional Use Permit, or Building Permit will be approved. The County of Los Angeles Fire Department Forestry Division’s Fuel Modification Unit is responsible for processing, reviewing, and approving these plans.
Cal Fire is responsible for the mapping and revisions to all Fire Hazard Severity Zones across the state. These zone designations establish minimum standards for building construction and exterior landscape features in an effort to mitigate the increasing losses from our cycle of wildfire vents. Cal Fire designates the Severity Zones for all State Responsibility Areas (SRAs). In Local Responsibility Areas (LRAs), the jurisdictional county or city determines the Severity Zones with approval from the state that are then adopted by local ordinance or city councils.

About CSLSA
History
When Australia was chosen to host the 1956 summer Olympics, lifesavers there decided to hold an invitational lifesaving competition to be known as the Australian Olympic International Surf Championships at Torquay Beach, outside Melbourne, Victoria. [Australia Medallion] The Honorable Judge Adrian Curlewis of Australia appointed Arthur Parkens, an Australian lifesaving instructor, to solicit participation from the United States. California lifeguards and a contingent from the Territory of Hawaii decided to participate. Both teams were required trained and awarded, "The Australian Surflifesavers Medallion," so as to meet the international competition standards required for the event.
The California lifeguards organized themselves under the banner of the Surf Life Saving Association of America (SLSA), although they were solely from the Los Angeles County and Los Angeles City lifeguard agencies. This was the first American lifeguard association of its kind, even if its name was a bit grand considering its narrow scope.
Team members from the SLSA included Team Captain Rusty Williams of Los Angeles County (LACO), Team Coach Kirby Temple (LACO), Team Manager Herb Barthels, Sr. of Los Angeles City (LACity), Tad Devine (Santa Monica City), Bob Burnside (LACO), Mike Bright (LACO), Greg Noll (LACO), Dave Ballinger (LACO), Chick McIlroy (LACO), Paul McIlroy (LACO), Sheridan Byerly (LACO), and Roger Jensen (LACO). The Hawaiian lifeguard team included Dr. Don Gustuson, Team Manager Harry Shaeffer, Team Coach Tom Shaeffer, Tom Moore, Tom Zahn, Dan Durego, Tim Guard, L. Honka, Peter Balding, and Shaky Felez.

The event was held on November 26, 1956 and drew an immense crowd of 115,000 spectators. The legendary "Duke" Paoa Kahanamoku of Hawaii served as the honorary event Chairman. In addition to the American and Australian teams, lifeguard teams from South Africa, Great Britain, Ceylon, and New Zealand participated.
As for the Americans, the Hawaiian Territory placed first in the Beach Relay. Tad Devine of California placed second in the swim. Bob Burnside of California placed third in the belt race.
Perhaps more importantly than the competition itself, lifelong relationships were built around this historic event and both countries were to benefit tremendously. The American rescue tube and rescue buoy were first introduced to Australia on this tour, later to become staples of Australian lifesaving gear as they were in the US. Tom Zahn, Tom Moore, and Bob Burnside brought Malibu Balsa Surfboards with them, the first total Australian exposure to the Malibu Surfboard. When they departed Australia, the boards were left behind, which revolutionized surfing in Australia.
After the event, LA County Lifeguard Chief Bud Stevenson decided to use SLSA in his efforts to upgrade professional lifeguarding. Chief Stevenson appointed Bob Burnside as President of the nascent organization and Lt. Don Hill as Secretary. Despite the broadly embracing name of Surf Life Saving Association of America, the early focus was to remain on Los Angeles County issues.
Bob Burnside called for representatives from as many Southern California lifeguard agencies as possible to attend a concept meeting at Santa Monica Lifeguard Headquarters in the winter of 1963. In attendance were Vince Moorhouse (Huntington Beach), Max Bowman (Huntington Beach), Don Rohrer (LA City), Dick Heineman (LA City), Tim Dorsey (Seal Beach), host Jim Richards (Santa Monica), and a representative from Long Beach.
The group agreed that they should establish a truly national organization, based on the structure of the Australian association, to be called the Surf Life Saving Association of America.
The early organization established Southern and Northern Chairmen of the State of California, and a temporary Executive Board was formed to establish a constitution, bylaws, and method of equal representation for the association. This put in place all the necessary criteria for affiliation with the organization by local chapters, allowing each chapter to participate equally in the first election of officers, which took place in 1965. In the meantime, temporary chairmen took charge.
In 1964, Huntington Beach's newly dedicated lifeguard headquarters was adopted as the center for SLSA activities. In that same year, Howard Lee of LA County designed the national logo, which is still in use today. His design was influenced by a similar design that Tad Devine of the 1956 Australia team had created for the team uniform. Both are strikingly similar to the logo of the United States Life-Saving Service, an arm of the United States government, which had rescued shipwrecked sailors during the 1800s and 1900s, before being merged with the Revenue Cutter Service to form the US Coast Guard.
The National Surf Life Saving Association of America is Born
In 1965, the SLSA title was dropped in favor of the National Surf Life Saving Association (NSLSA) and the first election officers of was held, at this time for a one-year term of office. They were President Bob Burnside, Vice-President Dick Hazard (San Clemente), Treasurer Max Bowman, Secretary Don Rohrer, and Sergeant at Arms Tim Dorsey. The goals and objectives were identified and weekly meetings were agreed upon, rotating among different lifeguard headquarters for over a year. In another 1965 development, Australia was invited to send their national competition team to compete in the US.
A year earlier, in 1964, ABC television's Wide World of Sports had filmed a lifeguard competition at Huntington Beach. During the competition, lifeguards Mike Henry and Pete Orth of Carpenteria, California, lost control of their dory on a 10 foot wave and crashed into the Huntington Beach pier. It became one of the Great Moments of 1964, replayed repeatedly for television audiences throughout America.
Building on this memory, in 1965 Wide World of Sports invited the NSLSA and the touring Australian team, to fly to the East Coast and compete in a first ever East Coast/West Coast lifeguard competition. This televised, international event was held at Montauk Point on Long Island, New York. At this event, the concept of a truly national affiliation under the umbrella of NSLSA took seed. Also in 1965, Santa Cruz became the first lifesaving association outside Southern California to join.
The year 1966 saw a new election of officers, with Bob Burnside remaining as president, Phil Stubbs of San Clemente as vice-president, Jack Buck as Secretary, and Don Rohrer as treasurer, with Tim Dorsey remaining as Sergeant at Arms. Also in 1966, the California Chief Lifeguard Association, which had first formed in the late 1930s, reconvened and appointed Vince Moorhouse as chairman. They conferred $431.80 from their association bank account to the NSLSA treasury, along with their blessings and pledge to support the organization.
On August 25, 1967, it was decided to change the term of office to two years. Mike Henry of California State (north) was elected president, Phil Stubbs of San Clemente remained vice-president, Bob Burnside moved to secretary, Dick Heinemann of LA City as treasurer, and Tim Dorsey continuing on as Sergeant at Arms.
In 1967, NSLSA sent a competition team to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to compete in the first recognized East versus West lifeguard championships, continuing the national affiliation concept among all the agencies involved. Teams from New York to Miami and the West Coast team battled it out in a rousing competition.
The East Coast/West Coast competition helped further an effort to make NSLSA a truly national organization. Lt. Jim Holland of the Miami Beach Patrol was appointed to act as East Coast liaison for NSLSA. He was responsible for bringing into the first Florida chapters into NSLSA: Miami Beach and Boca Raton. Secretary Bob Burnside flew to Florida to tour Florida beaches with Lt. Holland in an effort to further increase Eastern affiliations.
It was also during 1967 that the Australians invited the NSLSA affiliated lifeguards back for a competition tour that included several unusual feats. This included a stunning win by the 16 year old Huntington Beach lifeguard Spike Beck in the Australian National Championship Junior Belt Race. At the New South Wales championships Australian veteran "Spas" Hearst, Bob Burnside, Paul Mathies (LACO), Jim Richards (Santa Monica), and Ruby Kroon teamed up for a binational win in the surfboat race.

In 1969, the change in officers found Phil Stubbs elected president, Bob Shea of San Diego vice president, Logan Lockabey of California State secretary, Dick Heinemann treasurer, and Tim Dorsey still watching the door as Sergeant at Arms. That year, the first international educational exchange was undertaken with a visit to Auckland, New Zealand by Max Bowman (Huntington Beach), Phil Stubbs (San Clemente), and Logan Lockabey (Newport Beach). It was also in that year that NSLSA received membership in the Council for National Cooperation in Aquatics (CNSA).
In 1969 that the Dade County (Florida) Board of Supervisors requested that NSLSA representatives journey to Miami and review lifeguard procedures there in the wake of a rash of ocean drownings. Bob Burnside and Phil Stubbs handled this task, with Paul Cocke (LA County) and Bill Richardson (Huntington Beach) assisting. The outcome included recommendations that resulted in installation of a communication system, new vehicles and equipment, new qualification requirements, increased funding, and the hiring of Lt. Holland as Chief of the Dade County Lifeguard Division. It was the first demonstration of the potentially power of NSLSA to improve lifesaving standards nationwide. In 1970 Hempstead Beach, New York joined NSLSA. It was the first member chapter from the upper East Coast. The NSLSA newsletter changed its name that year to Ocean Lifeguard Magazine. The editor was Tim Dorsey.
World Life Saving was created in 1971 in Australia, to include the national lifesaving federations of Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand, South Africa, and the US. Chief Vince Moorehouse of Huntington Beach was appointed the NSLSA International Liaison to WLS, then President from 1976-80. Max Bowman served from 1988-1993. On 24 February 1993, WLS merged with FIS to form the International Life Saving Federation (ILS). By that time, WLS represented more than 20 full member national lifesaving organizations.
In 1971, President Phil Stubbs was reelected, Eric Lucas of Laguna Beach was elected vice president, Logan Lockabey remained as secretary, Bill Ward became secretary, and Tim Dorsey stayed on for another term as Sergeant at Arms. In that year, recommended beach standards and certification were first completed for all lifeguard classifications in an effort to improve standardization and professionalism. Hempstead Beach withdrew their membership that year, after only one year in the organization.
Two other organizations requested NSLSA professional help in 1971, Big Surf surf park in Tempe, Arizona and the State of New York. In the case of the latter, a team of 11 members were sent to help in training and appraisal of New York lifeguard practices, but when they arrived they learned that they had been summoned amidst a job action and were being enlisted to ensure lifeguard protection in the case of a strike. This event turned out to create some seriously bad feelings between New York lifeguards and the NSLSA, which were not to subside for many years.
In 1972, the Internal Revenue Service granted NSLSA tax-exempt status as a not for profit, educational organization. World Life Saving held its Board of Directors meeting in Huntington Beach that year, the first international lifesaving meeting in America. The NSLSA newsletter, under the title "Certification," also mentions that NSLSA was preparing the groundwork for a training certificate to be issued to newly trained lifeguards [and] studying a proposal from the YMCA of America to certify lifeguards for that organization."
In 1973, the sixth Executive Board was elected to include Vince Moorhouse (Huntington Beach) as president, Eric Lucas (Long Beach) as vice president, Buddy Belshe of Newport Beach as secretary, Bill Ward (Long Beach) as treasurer, and Tim Dorsey sergeant at arms. That year also saw the development of agreements on standardization of beach warning flags and the first international training officers exam.
South Africa was the next destination for an education and competition tour. An 11 man team was sent in 1974 that included Max Bowman, John Patty (Long Beach), Tim Dorsey, Mark Bodenbender (Huntington Beach), BI Gerald, (Huntington Beach), Buddy Belshe (Newport Beach), Bill Owen (San Diego), Sheridan Byerly (San Clemente), Richard Marks (LA City), Paul Mathies (LACO), and Topper Harock (Newport Beach).
In 1974, NSLSA conducted a site review and beach lifeguard service survey for the City of Santa Cruz. This process demonstrated potential of the NSLSA to help influence management of beach lifesaving organizations. It was a process that was used many times again in future years.
In 1975, Eric Lucas (Long Beach) stepped up to become president, with Buddy Belshe (Newport Beach) as vice-president, Dick Miller of Long Beach as secretary, and Max Bowman (Huntington Beach) as treasurer. Also in 1975, Vince Moorehouse (Huntington Beach) was elected president of World Life Saving.
The United States Lifesaving Association is Created
Over the years, NSLSA had been very successful in organizing national and international exchanges of information, competitions, and public education efforts to help reduce drowning. Progress made initially to embrace East Coast agencies however, had languished and the organization remained largely an association of California lifeguards and a few chapters from Florida.
Some felt that the organization should remain a surf lifesaving organization, barring participation from lifeguards at lakes, rivers, and similar venues. Others felt that all lifeguards at natural, open water locales should be eligible for membership. One of these was Sheridan Byerly (now of San Clemente), who had been a member of the 1956 Australian team.
The 1977 elections were a turning point. It was anticipated by many that Buddy Belshe would be elected president that year, but in an unexpected upset, Sheridan Byerly was elected instead. Considering that he had never been elected to an NSLSA post before that time, his election was a surprising event. As it turns out, it was to portend further change. In that same year, Dick Miller was re-elected vice-president, Max Bowman treasurer, and Larry Gibson of Newport Beach secretary. Partway through the two-year term of office, Gibson resigned his post and Byron Wear of San Diego was appointed to replace him. Wear would later become the first USLA Executive Director until 1984. Many years later he was to be elected to the San Diego City Council.
A priority for Byerly was the push to make NSLSA a truly national organization. A debate occurred over opening the guidelines for membership to allow personnel from lake, river and similar venues. It was hotly contested as many felt that the association should incorporate only ocean agencies and that bringing in other areas that would not necessarily be year-round operations, would shift the power to part time and non-ocean agencies, thus creating a philosophical difference of priorities. Nonetheless, Byerly persevered. Changes to the bylaws were drafted and plans were laid to create regions throughout the United States with their own presidents and executive boards.
In February 1979, Byerly and Wear took leave of their jobs and began recruiting work in Florida, encouraging further participation. At that time, Florida membership centered on Boca Raton and Dade County. They met with lifeguards from many agencies, including Joe Wooden and Tom Renick of Volusia County.
In May 1979, the NSLSA Board of Directors met in Santa Cruz, knowing that the debate over broadening the membership scope of the organization was coming to a head. President Byerly chaired a meeting thick with heated and passionate discussion about the course of the organization's future. Ultimately, the NSLSA Board of Directors voted to change the name of the organization to the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) and adopt the various bylaw changes that had been drafted. It was a truly historic event, which set the stage for a broader and more embracing organization. It was agreed that members could include, any member of an ocean, bay, lake, river, or open water lifesaving or rescue service, including chiefs, directors, and their equivalent.
Since that time, the United States Lifesaving Association, an idea launched in California, has thrived, having a major and very positive influence nationally over drowning prevention and lifeguard training standards. The first truly national competition was conducted in 1980 in San Diego, California under the USLA banner, a tradition that has continued annually ever since. In the spring of 2014, USLA celebrated their 50th Anniversary at a Board of Directors meeting and Educational Conference hosted by the CSLSA’s Huntington Beach chapter.

Paul Cracroft-Wilson - Fitzroy
When a young Taranaki boy left the black sands of Fitzroy Beach for the golden sands of the Gold Coast in 2007, he had no idea the trail blazing achievements that would follow in the years to come or the great legacy in a sport he did just for fun. Paul started his surf lifesaving journey as a nipper at NPOB in the late 1990's and moved across to Fitzroy in the early 2000's. His first taste of success in the Open Men’s division came in 2005 when he won the beach sprint title for the first time. A title he would go on to defend again in 2006, 2007 and later on in 2016.
But it was musical sticks or in the surf lifesaving world "beach flags" that Paul truly excelled in. Beach flags could sometimes be a race of chance, luck and skill. It took great mental toughness, power, speed and strength to go round after round until only one stick and two people were left. This event was Paul's specialty and one he dominated in our sport for the better part of seven New Zealand titles 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016.
Paul's success on the sand awarded him numerous call ups to the New Zealand team from 2007 through to 2016. Paul was an integral part of the unstoppable New Zealand Black Fins Teams that won Worlds in 2012, 2014 and 2016. Paul captained the NZ Team in 2011 and 2015 for the International Surf Rescue Challenges.

Katie Watts & Emma Crofskey - Fitzroy
When a national board champ and a beach flagger teamed up to race IRBs, neither of them knew the legacy they would leave on the sport. In 2006 Emma Crofskey jumped in a boat with Katie Watts for the first time together with just six weeks until the National Champs at Paekakariki Beach. They walked away with gold in the tube rescue, silver in the single rescue and bronze in the mass rescue. The combined results/points were good enough to land the girls first equal for the Foxton Shield (top overall women’s team), which they would go on to hold for the next five years. A feat that no other women’s crew in the county had achieved before. The 2006 Nationals were also the first time Fitzroy Surf Life Saving Club became the country’s champion IRB club, a title they went on to hold for three consecutive years in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
The next year at Ohope Beach they managed a clean sweep of all categories, winning the tube rescue, single rescue, assembly rescue and mass rescue. The girls pay tribute to the camaraderie among the entire Fitzroy IRB racing crew and club for all the support and advice given to them over their racing career. “We were a team, not just individuals. It wasn’t just about your own crew. Everyone helped each other out. We could not have done as well as we did without the support and team work to get the boat to the line each time we raced.
It’s fun when teams support each other. And success helped build a team and team culture.” Each season the pressure for the girls to stay at the top was always there in the background. When you are at the top everyone wants to beat you — you become the team to beat which put a target on their backs at the National Champs. They would practice a couple of times a week, each training lasting at least two hours. Emma would also get in the pool 2-3 times a week for tube training and Katie would sprint train for the mass transitions and finishes where speed was key. “We had to keep training to keep ahead of the opposition”. “Racing was always fun — but nerve-wracking too.”
Emma and Katie also held roles on the club’s committee, were patrol captains and coached throughout their racing careers. These were volunteer positions. Their leadership, time and experience has been invaluable to the Fitzroy Surf Life Saving Club over the years. They have also been great role models for the younger generation coming through our sport.

Samantha Lee - Lyall Bay
When a young Samantha Lee rocked up to Lyall Bay SLSC in Wellington she probably had no idea that her Surf Lifesaving career in the future would see her be crowned our most successful
World Championships athlete ever! Yes you heard it right! Whilst many people would think of Cory Hutchings when asked “who has been our most successful athlete at the Worlds?” It is in fact, Samantha Lee. During her Surf Lifesaving career Samantha racked up six individual world titles between 2012 and 2016. In doing so she also set world records.
Samantha was a pivotal member of the history breaking Black Fins team who won the overall world titles at the 2012, 2014 and 2016 World Championships. On top of her World Championships success, Sam was also named the top female competitor at the German Cup in 2013, 2015 and the Bene Cup in 2013 along with claiming eight individual titles. She also took away a massive sixteen individual titles at the Surf Life Saving New Zealand Pool Rescue Championships. However, it was always the team events and relays that Sam enjoyed the most stating “there is nothing like sharing the podium with your mates.”
Sam is not only a World Champion competitor she is a champion person - very humble, supportive and an amazing role model for many. Since her retirement from the international stage in 2017, Sam has continued to be involved with her club Lyall Bay, coaching and mentoring the young members. “More than just a champion, Samantha is a champion person”

Steph Laughton & Carla Laughton - St Clair
Steph and Carla have been an inspiration to all members of Surf Lifesaving by demonstrating longevity as Surf Lifeguards and in all forms of Surf Lifesaving sport. They have won National medals from 2008 until their retirement in 2019.
During this time, they have won:
17 gold IRB medals, 1 Worlds gold and 2 Worlds silvers, 5 Pool Champs golds, 2 Sand Nationals golds and 30 other place medals across all disciplines.
Steph and Carla have shown extreme dedication across all disciplines of Surf Lifesaving whether that be through lifeguarding or sport. Both have spent considerable time on the Club committee, as instructors, examiners and patrol captains while also playing a crucial role in maintaining high patrol standards set at the St Clair SLSC and Otago/Southland area. Moreover, to be able to compete at such a high level at the SLS New Zealand Pool Rescue Championships, TSB New Zealand National Championships and bp Surf Rescue New Zealand IRB Championship, their dedication to training and success has taken considerable effort.
Being based in Dunedin, Steph and Carla have had to train in less than desirable conditions with cold water temperatures and large surf conditions often preventing people from reaching the highest level along with significant financial outlay and travel, however, Steph and Carla have powered through this to be champions in all disciplines of Surf Lifesaving. Steph and Carla have been pioneers as multi-disciplined female athletes that have had successes in all areas of Surf Lifesaving. They have always represented St Clair SLSC and the organisation to the highest possible standard and have been role models and coaches to people across the country. Surf Lifesaving is better off as a movement thanks to Steph and Carla’s contribution and ongoing contribution to the movement.

Christopher W Billing - Worser Bay
The induction of Chris Billing into the New Zealand Surf Life Saving Hall of fame for his contribution to beach events, all began on the beach at Worser Bay in the summer of 1952/53. In fact his beach event prowess was born out of hours and hours of training at no where else but the beach. To qualify for his surf medallion in 1952, Chris used Worser Bay beach as his training ground. In those days there was no such thing as a heated swimming pool in Wellington so Chris’s created his own beach-based training regime that became more and more rigorous as his career progressed.
The 1953/54 season was Chris Billing’s greatest competitive year. He won the Junior Surf and the Junior Belt race at the Wellington trials to select representatives to attend a national selection trial for a team to tour Australia. At the national trials Chris won the Junior Surf Race and Beltman’s title and the open Beach Sprint. Not surprisingly he was selected in the New Zealand team.
In the 1954/55 season Chris was undefeated in Surf races, beltmas events and the beach sprint in the Wellington region carnivals. At the Nationals he won the Junior Surf Race title and was runner up in the beltman’s. As a Junior, Chris won the Wellington Junior Surf and beltman’s titles for three consecutive seasons. At his last carnival as Junior. Chris won the Junior Surf and entered the Senior race that followed immediately after and won that as well.
As a Senior, he won a number of Wellington titles but National individual titles eluded him. There were, however, some epic races with Reg Harker and also with the increasing number of pool specialists (like Brian Crowder) who also enjoyed participating in Surf events. For a number of years Chris was a perpetual finalist in the National beltman’s final and a top five finisher in the National Surf Race.
At all times in his beach career, Chris was a great Club member and a keen participant in team and R & R events. He was a member of Worser Bay team that won the National March Past Pennant in 1968. In fact Chris was a Club member who was prepared to help the Club out in any event they required him to participate in. A typical Carnival day would see him compete in the Surf Race Belt race, 6 man and 4 man, the beach sprint, beach relay and the March past. It was this all-round prowess that saw Chris again selected to represent New Zealand in a series of tests against Australia in 1956.
Perhaps the most unique string to Chris’s bow, was his ability as beach sprinter. The hours spent training on the beach at Worser had helped develop Chris’s sprinting prowess to the point that he was unbeatable running on sand. He won the National Beach Sprint title at least 11 consecutive times. In fact he was unbeaten in beach sprints until the time he gave sprinting away in the early 70’s. His speed on the final leg of the beach relay helped the Worser Bay Club win 4 beach relay titles. Every time Chris ran in Club’s relay team at Nationals, they won the event.
It is a beach career simply packed with outstanding personal achievements and a deep continuing loyalty to the Worser Bay Club where it all began.
1995 Sport Hall of Fame Induction
22 September 1995, Beehive
Four Surf Life Savers were recognised for their outstanding contributions to lifeguarding with induction into the Surf Lifeguard New Zealand Hall of Fame in a ceremony held at the Beehive in September. The recipients were Peter Fitzsimmons OBE, John Honnor, Alan Thompson and the late Hugh Cooper. They have each shown outstand- ing commitment to Surf Life Saving in both individual effort and on behalf of others in the organisation.
Peter Fitzsimmons has a long history in water sports with contributions to Surf Life Saving through an outstanding number of activities; currently he is SLSNZ's Director of Public Affairs and a Life Member. John Honnor has also given many years of endeavour to Surf Life Saving at local, national and international levels; presently John is an active member of the Directorate of the International Life Saving Federation (ILS).
Alan Thompson has a record of outstanding sporting achievement which he has coupled with solid organisational work to promote and enhance Surf Life Saving in New Zealand. The late Hugh Cooper selflessly devoted a large part of his life to building Surf Life Saving while being an active Lifeguard and performing many rescues. He showed outstanding commit- ment and perseverance in promoting and sustaining Surf Life Saving at a grass roots level.
The four inductees joined the 16 existing Hall of Fame members whose commitment and achievements were recognised with the establishment of the Surf Lifeguards New Zealand Hall of Fame in 1992. In all cases the work and achievements of these Hall of Fame members have benefited both Surf Life Saving in New Zealand and the community as a whole.
Ieuan John Honnor OBE - East End
John Honnor first joined his Club East End in 1953, has since committed much of his life to Surf Life Saving. John has filled a wide variety of roles at Club, District and New Zealand levels including administrator, competitor, instructor, judge, manager/coach and selector. Three roles stand out at New Zealand level; the first is that of Chief Superintendent and his successful running of New Zealand Championships. The other two are his present role as the Chairman of Surf Life Saving’s first Board of Directors – formerly Management Committee – and New Zealand’s representative at World Life Saving forums. In all fields he has acted with integrity and dedication in the advancement of Surf Life Saving.
Back in the 1970s Honnor helped set up a new international body called International Lifesaving. He enjoyed the "humanitarian side" of life saving, he says. "It was a service organisation and we were giving something back to the community. I liked swimming and I liked the beach and one thing followed another." Giving back to the community is something he has done all his life.
Alan Thompson - Waikanae
Alan Thompson has a record of outstanding sporting achievement which he has coupled with solid organisational work to promote and enhance Surf Life Saving in New Zealand. Alan was selected for the 1982 Mt Maunganui Trans-Tasman test as a ski paddler and proved his ranking as a formidable competitor by scoring the only New Zealand win on a day.
At the 1984 Westshore New Zealand Surf Life Saving champs the New Zealand kayak team for the Los Angeles Olympics was announced - The coaches, Ben Hutchings and Brian Wilson were also surf lifesaving lifeguards and New Zealand Surf Life Saving national titles winners.
Though Olympic success stands supreme for Alan we cannot discount his involvement in surf lifesaving. It provided the training ground and impetus for such success. Alan's skill, never-say-die attitude and extraordinary versatility in an era of what has become increasing specialisation, was first displayed at his second New Zealand Surf Life Saving champs at Paekakariki in 1976 when he came away with seven medals, including the Junior Ironman title.
From there until 1991 he was to win a total of 66 medals. At senior level from 1980 to 1990 he amassed 20 gold medals, 14 silvers and 5 bronze - 11 from the swim/R&R arena, 24 from board and ski and four from canoe. He was a member of three SLSNZ teams, '82, '85, and '87, and captained the team at the Mount test of '85, as well as the Gisborne District teams that won the Norrie Trophy.
Pat Ellison MBE* - Moana Rua
Over the years, Pat Ellison has received many honours in recognition of her services, including life membership of the Moana Rua Club (which she formed after the war to attract the displaced women from St Clair and St Kilda) and the Otago Association as well as the New Zealand Service Award and the Distinguished Service Award. Pat was made a life members of NZSLSA in 1980, and in 1992 she was one of two women (the other was Muriel Brown) elected to the NZSLSA's Hall of Fame.
Pat was the assistant manager for the first ever New Zealand ladies tour to Sri Lanka in 1974.
She was also a foundation member, and has served as president of the Ladies 21 Club, an organisation representing 21 years'involvement in surf lifesaving. In 1976 she was awarded an MBE for service to lifesaving. Pat's achievements were an important breakthrough for women's sport in general and gave women such as Kath Bradshaw and Bet Sydney the confidence to apply for and hold similar positions in Otago athletics and swimming.
H Duke Gillies MBE* - St Clair
If he had remained Hugh Donald Gillies, perhaps his story would not have struck such a chord. But Duke Gillies: what a name, what a man and what a life.
Gillies was the godfather of Otago surf life-saving, a man who spent three-quarters of a century watching the waves but whose influence will be felt for much longer. He was a man of the water, so salty you half expected to see barnacles on his skin.
Gillies was a swimming champion as a youngster and gained his nickname when Duke Kahunamoko, the Hawaiian world champion, gave demonstrations in New Zealand. An injury curtailed his involvement in other sports but, limp and all, he found his calling in life-saving. It was once estimated he had rescued at least three dozen people from the sea.
Gillies had a 76-year association with the St Clair Surf Life Saving Club, holding almost every official position. In the 1930s, he coached the St Clair six-man junior team to national honours, and was in the senior team which won the Nelson Shield for rescue and resuscitation. "Life-saving got into me," he later told Otago Daily Times reporter Kim Dungey. "People need it and you've got to have people to do these things. If you don't do the work, it doesn't get done."
Perhaps his greatest contribution was designing a revolutionary four-man surf rescue canoe in 1932. Until then, life-savers swam to those in difficulty with a reel and a belt. Canoes were available, but the Gillies-designed craft was the first built high at the front to withstand large waves, going both in and out. He and friends built the first wooden canoe in his backyard at St Kilda. It became the standard rescue craft in New Zealand and was the forerunner of the fibreglass models which were used well into the 1950s.
Gillies was a foundation member of the Otago Surf Life Saving Association, and president of Surf Life Saving New Zealand from 1956 to 1958. He received the order of MBE in 1974 for his efforts. He was also active in Special Olympics, and a lifelong supporter of the St Clair salt water pool. Gillies died in 2002, aged 95.
J Allen Lee MNZM* - South Brighton
Allen joined the SBSLSC on 1949, gaining his surf lifeguard award in 1950. He served in various fields of practical surf life saving activity for 37 years. He has been involved in Club administration for 34 years, including club captain, chief instructor. He competed in NZ Championships for 14 years being a winning member of the Nelson Shield and Senior Surf Race Team for 4 years. He was made a Club Life Member in 1974.
At District level he has been actively engaged for 32 years being a Surf Official for 20 years. He was a member of the NZ Championships Organising Committee 4 years, a selector and served on the Life membership Committee for 11 years. Allen was in the District Representative Team for 10 years and Captain for 3 and was awarded a District Life member in 1975.
At National level he has been a Championship Official for 15 years with 6 as a key official. Been a member of NZ Council for 20 years, serving 10 as an Officer. A manager of NZ Teams, ladies team educational tour of Sri Lanka in 1974., and a member of NZ’s delegation to Rescue 1986. He served as NZ President in 1978 – 1980.
F G (Paddy) Ryan QSO* - Lyall Bay
In 1925 Paddy Ryan won his first national title in Christchurch with the Lyall Bay 6-man R&R team. He was examined on the way down to Christchurch on the boat and again in the morning before the championships started. It was the start of an incredible 70-year love affair with the surf. Paddy was 19 when he won that first title and 89 when he won his last World Masters title in 1993 - nearly 70 years later. Between 1925 and 1948, Paddy was on the winning team of New Zealand senior 6-man R&R four times. He also won the individual surf race in 1938. He won 2 titles at the World Masters in 1993 at the age of 89.
In 1938 he was selected to be a member of the first ever New Zealand surf lifesaving team to visit Australia but had to withdraw. He managed the NZ team to Australia in 1970 and also served as President, Deputy president, Chair from 1945-49, Delegate for Otago and was on the Executive and various sub committees for NZSLSA. Paddy was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992.
Jack C Blakeley, MBE* - Lyall Bay
The NZSLA improved the sport, standardised equipment and rules and in 1937 it brought and inspirational New South Wales team to New Zealand.
Jack Blakeley was selected for the NZ team to pay a return visit to Australia but had to withdraw.
Older members of the surf lifesaving movement tend to regard the 1930s as ‘the Golden years,’when the only events contested at major surf lifesaving competitions centred on belt race, surf race and R&R events. They were the years of such national champions as the Lyall Bay trio of Jack Blakeley, Maori All Black Dick Pelham and Frank Ryan along with Wally Jarvis of St Clair and the young Maranui up-and-comer, Joe Clark. In 1938 Blakeley won the New Zealand beltman’s title over the great Alan Dalton who had been the first to defend the title the year before. He also was a member of 4 Nelson Shield winning teams and won his last medal in 1948 in the surf teams race 21 years after he joined the club..
In the early 1970s, the Lyall Bay club modestly updated its facilities and added a small bar, which Jack Blakeley ran profitably. What other club in New Zealand can offer its members these facilities?’, it boasted in 1974: Sauna room, Carpeted lounge, Hot & cold showers, Television, Plunge pool, stereogram.
Jack was a Life member of the Lyall Bay Surf Lifesaving Club, the Wellington District Association and the National Association. At administration level he was the National Registrar and Publicity Officer from 1941 to 1944. Treasurer from 1945 to 1947, Auditor from 1948 to 1983 and was on various subcommittees He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992.
W V (Bill) Griffin, QSM* - Lyall Bay
Bill joined the Lyall Bay Club in 1922 – serving the club in many positions over the years. Bill became “No. 1” of the “21” Club when it was formed in 1948. Bill was President, Patron and made a Life Member of the Lyall Bay Club and was made a Life Member of the Bay of Plenty Association. He was President and Deputy president for NZSLSA, a delegate for Auckland and Bay of Plenty on the NZ Council and was on various subcomittees. He was made a Life Member of the National Association. Bill was awarded the Queens Service Medal in 1982 for his 60 years of service. He served for 21 years as beach Marshall at district and national level and was often referred to as “Mr Surf”. His catch phrase was “Always look after the juniors”.
Bill was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992

Newell St Clair Berge* - East End
Known only to most a "Toby", he joined East End SLSC in 1916 at the age of 14, and was associated with the club for over 60 years. The highlight of his younger years at hte club was winning the Tabor Shield.
Toby never expected members to do anything he wasn't prepared to do himself, and was well respected around the club, and region. At the end of his sporting career, Toby took on the role of judge on the beach and was New Zealand Chief Time Keeper.
Toby occupied all positions of Executive Committee at East End and Taranaki SLSA, as well as reaching the highest official position in the surf Life Saving Association of New Zealand being elected President in 1958/60.
A New Zealand Service award was presented to Toby in 1935, and Life Membership in 1963. Toby was one of the few to be presented with the Gold Badge for 50 years’ service to the life saving movement.
Toby (#12) was one of the original 21 members of the 21 Club in 1948. During World War 11, Toby took over the responsibility for Taranaki, and was instrumental in the reforming of surf life saving in Taranaki after the war.
Geoff Le Cren - Taylors Mistake
Geoff was another surf life saver with strong family connections to the Club. His parents Keith and Rene were active members of Taylors as was sister Helen. Later his children Tim, Danelle and Kristi became members.
Geoff gained his Surf Bronze in 1958 and competed in his first nationals the same year in New Brighton. He competed with distinction as a patient for Norm Webb where in heavy seas they were only one of three teams to finish. However, they were denied a placing as the event was called off because of the big sea.
According to Kevin Tutty and Paul Carpinter in ‘Over the Hill for 100 years’ “the next year, at Oakura, he became perhaps the youngest to win the national junior belt title at only 15, … and in 1960 he added the surf race”. However, a combination of factors outside his control i.e. accidents and injuries, family bereavement, need to work, archaic rules relating to professional swimming instructors (for which he did part time for a period) reduced his opportunities to shine as a senior. He swam a host of finals, and twice won the South Island Belt title. In 1982 he won the national over 30 surf race. In 1963 he was the sole Taylors Mistake representative in the Canterbury team that competed in the prestigious Royal Carnival. Between 1960 and 1981 he represented Canterbury for 16 of those years. Perhaps the most satisfaction Geoff gained from the sport was being a member of the club’s six-man team and the multiple successes it had in winning the Nelson Shield. Of the thirteen wins in two decades, Geoff was in 10 of them.
As well as the sporting side of life saving, Geoff was an extremely able administrator, secretary of the Canterbury association for several years, and of the club from 1974-77 and club captain from 1965-66. He represented New Zealand in a surf life saving educational role in 1980, having been granted an Air New Zealand Study Award. In 1981 he was named Canterbury Surf Life Saver of the Year.
Ken W Mitchell* - Worser Bay
Ken Mitchell was dedicated to Surf Life Saving in and out of the water. In the water, he was instrumental in saving lives during the Wahine sinking and co-ordinated Barrie Davenport’s first-ever swim across Cook Strait in 1962. Out of the water he was dedicated to his Worser Bay Club and also to SLSNZ, where he was Chairman of the SLSNZ Council in the later 1970s and subsequently Executive Officer for nine years until his retirement in 1989.
Ken was Instructor of the NZ team v Australia in 1972, a member of the NZ team to the World Congress in South Africa in 1974, a National selector for many years and Chief Instructor of NZSLSA between 1971 and 1977. He also served as a delegate on the NZSLSA National Council and was on the management committee for many years.
Daryl Neate - Taylors Mistake
Daryl grew up in Taylors with the family owning the bach “Shangri-la “at the end of the bay. He started as a nipper and got his surf award in 1962. Daryl was one of the club’s most successful competitors in both R & R and craft, winning the Nelson Shield 13 times, NZ Iron Man, Ski, Ski Rescue, Taplin Relay and Double Ski Titles. In all – 35 gold, 22 silver and 21 bronze medals at national championships.
Daryl also represented New Zealand in 1973 in South Africa and in 1974 against Australia. In 1992 he was inducted into the NZ Surf Life Saving Hall of Fame along with Geoff Le Cren. Daryl competed for the club for 40 years as well as patrolling and coaching. In 1988 the Taylors Mistake team of Daryl Neate, Paul Carpinter, Simon Davis, Lars Humer, Carl Immers and Dene Waru, coached by Jock McNaught, made no errors throughout the entire drill – recording an unbelievable 0.0 score for the first time ever.
His long association with the club and support was acknowledged by the Taylors Mistake SLSC by being made a life member.

On March 4, 2023, at Royal Palms Beach in San Pedro, Ocean Lifeguard Specialist Sam O’Hare responded to a major medical emergency/mass casualty incident involving multiple victims of a shooting a short distance from his tower.
A few minutes before 8:00 p.m., just as OLS O’Hare, the only remaining Lifeguard on duty began to close the area. Royal Palms/White Point Beach is a fairly isolated pocket beach known for its tide pools, rocky and sometimes slippery shoreline, combined with rough and dangerous surf. It is very popular with locals for its picnic and family atmosphere.
While the beach was still very crowded, O’Hare heard multiple gun shots coming from less than approximately 100 yards to his west in the parking lot near the picnic and restroom area.
O’Hare immediately requested backup from law enforcement and Fire Department resources, and without regard to his own safety responded to the area where he found multiple victims with gunshot wounds. He began the job of triaging the patients, as well advising the remaining patrons on areas of safety. He began working on the four victims, stopping the bleeding and treating them for shock.
When backup units from LAPD arrived, they secured the area while L.A. City Fire Paramedics began Advanced Life Care alongside L.A. County Lifeguards. All four victims were transported — with one in critical condition — to area hospitals.
Without O’Hare’s quick response, calm demeanor, professional triage under extremely chaotic and hazardous circumstances, these victims, as well as the dozens of other patrons, may not have survived.
O’Hare, initially acting alone and putting himself in a life-threatening situation in an extraordinary effort to protect the public, is the finest example of an L.A. County Fire Department Ocean Lifeguard Specialist.
Ocean Lifeguard Specialist Samual O'Hare
Steve Moseley began his career as an Ocean Lifeguard in 1981. During his 36-year career, he worked all the beaches along the 72 miles of Los Angeles Coastline, from Malibu to San Pedro until retiring as Chief Lifeguard in 2019.
Steve grew up in Glendale, Ca., son of Carl and Bree Moseley. He began swimming and playing water polo in 1976, at the famous Hoover High School. He continued his aquatic and academic education at Valley Community College, where he played water polo for Bill Krause, another Lifeguard Legend. Steve then transferred to USC and graduated in 1984 with a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. Steve was also an Eagle Scout.
In 1981, Steve graduated from the Lifeguard Rookie Academy, and worked in the Central Section at Santa Monica Beach, Venice Beach, Marina del Rey, and Will Rogers Beach. After seven years, he realized that his lifetime calling would be as a Los Angeles County Ocean Lifeguard and was promoted to a permanent position as an Ocean Lifeguard Specialist in 1991.
With Steve’s passion and dedication to lifesaving, and his people skills so apparent, Steve was recruited to and elected to the L.A. County Lifeguard Association’s (LACOLA) Board of Directors. Steve served as a Member at Large, Vice-President, President, and finally President Emeritus. He assisted during some of the most turbulent times for Lifeguard Division and LACOLA. His leadership was instrumental with the merger of the Lifeguard Division into the L.A. County Fire Department and in the fight for control over the beaches of Royal Palms, Redondo, Manhattan, Topanga, Las Tunas, Malibu, Dan Blocker, and Point Dume helping to preserve the continuity, stewardship and quality service provided by L.A. County Lifeguards from County Line to San Pedro and Catalina Island.
In 1997, Steve was promoted to Captain and assigned to the Southern Section, working the beaches of Cabrillo, Torrance, Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan, and Dockweiler. During this time, Steve was placed in charge of the Lifeguard Training Academy, where for nine years he impacted the lives of hundreds of recruits and dozens of instructors. Included with this assignment was the responsibility of Public Information Officer and oversight of the Junior Lifeguard Program.
In 2001, Steve was promoted to Lifeguard Section Chief and assigned to the Northern Section, with responsibility for Malibu/Surfrider, Dan Blocker, Point Dume, Zuma, and Nicholas Canyon beaches. Eventually, Steve was reassigned back to the South Bay and was promoted to Chief Lifeguard in 2014.
For 24 years, Steve and his wife Jennifer have called Hermosa Beach “The Jewel of the South Bay”, their home. They have one son, Max, 22, who has recently graduated from George Washington University.
Steve is known for his insight, wisdom, dedication, physical skills, professionalism, thoughtfulness, and wit.
He represents the best of Lifeguard Division and so, is recognized with the 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award.

The International Surfing Association (ISA) and the International Lifesaving Federation (ILS) have entered into a key strategic partnership together to establish a universally recognized, global standard water safety course and certification for surfing and stand-up paddle (SUP) coaches and instructors. In its first year (2017) this course was wildly successful being run 27 times in 17 countries for 290 surf and SUP instructors. Since the partnership began in 2017 there have been 341 ISA/ILS Water Safety Courses run for 4,282 instructors in over 50 countries.
The ISA/ILS International Surf and SUP Instructor Aquatic Rescue and Safety Course is specific for the surf instructing environment and available for all ISA and ILS Members to access. The course can be presented by ILS Member Organizations and those with formal endorsed trainer/assessor qualification.
The aims of this course are as follows:
Establish a global minimum standard for Surf/SUP instructors water safety certification as the current water safety requirements vary from country to country. This will translate into a transportable safety accreditation that will benefit traveling coaches.
Complement the ISA Coaching and Instructing Program Courses that currently require all ISA accredited instructors to hold a valid, recognized water safety accreditation
Promote water safety world-wide.
Enhance the value of the ISA Coaching Certification and provide more opportunities to our program participants.
ISA Course Presenter Tim Jones.
Course Details:
The course is run over two days. It contains theory, practical components, and group activities. Assessment is competency based and successful completion is based upon the following:
Full attendance of the training course and all practical assessments
Basic Surf Fitness Test

Please find an overview of the ISA/ILS International Surf and SUP Instructor Aquatic Rescue and Safety Course HERE
All participants will receive an ISA/ILS Water Safety Accreditation that is valid for two years. This accreditation fulfills the minimum water safety requirement for the ISA Coaching and Instructing Program and includes international ILS-endorsement and recognition
All course material will be delivered electronically to the Course Organizer or to the Official Course Presenters.
Renewal: The ISA/ILS Water Safety Accreditation must be refreshed every two years
Please Note: ***Requirements of individual member nations internal requirements in relation to CPR and fitness recertification must also be considered.

***Preference of presenting this course given to existing ISA Course Presenters with formal recognized lifesaving qualifications.
Course Development History:
The ISA requires all ISA Certified Coaches and Instructors to maintain a valid lifesaving or water safety accreditation. In upholding this requirement the ISA noticed a lack of consistency in water safety accreditations for Surf and SUP coaches and that many had to use courses that were more time consuming than necessary, difficult to access, and providing non-applicable content. Additionally there was a lack of available courses in some countries where ISA Coaching courses were taking place. The ISA worked with ISA Course Presenter and ILS accredited trainer Jamo Borthwick, to develop the base of the content and the ILS, with their extensive water safety experience, have reviewed, contributed, and joined ISA in making this course available.
The ISA was pleased to reach an agreement with ILS at the end of 2016 and roll-out the ISA/ILS International Surf and SUP Instructor Aquatic Rescue and Safety Course in 2017. This water safety accreditation course is fully endorsed by the International Lifesaving Federation (ILS) and all participants will receive an internationally endorsed water safety accreditation. In 2017 this course was run 27 times in 17 countries for 290 Surf and SUP instructors.
Summary:
The new ISA/ILS International Surf and SUP Instructor Aquatic Rescue and Safety Course will be complementary to your ISA Coaching and Instructing Program Courses and allow your instructors the opportunity to obtain an internationally endorsed water safety accreditation in conjunction with their coaching and instructing accreditation.
As Course Organizers, ISA members have the following options for water safety course delivery:

If you have visited Hilton Head Island’s beaches, you are probably familiar with Shore Beach Service.
They are on the beach in the lifeguard highchairs, under the red beach patrol umbrellas, or driving the red beach patrol vehicles. Shore Beach Service’s Beach Patrol is here to help you have a great vacation!
Hilton Head Island is blessed with some of the safest waters on the east coast. Our gentle sloping beaches and offshore sandbars generally create calm surf conditions. However, always be cautious in the ocean.
Shore Beach Service provides year-round beach patrol for Hilton Head Island’s 13.5 miles of beach.
The beach patrol includes about 80 lifeguards from across the country and around the world. During the peak summer season, the patrol consists of more than sixty lifeguards, eight red trucks marked “Beach Patrol” and two red ATVs. In addition, they have three wave runners for use in water rescue.
Their supervisors can be found patrolling the beach in the red Beach Patrol trucks.
Please find a lifeguard or flag down a beach patrol vehicle if you need help or to ask any questions. They assist in first aid, ocean rescue, missing persons, beach-specific questions, or any other questions you may have about the island. Each member of their staff has access to two-way radios which allow for communication to all points on the beach. In addition, these radios provide them with a direct line of communication to the 911 dispatch office. This provides immediate assistance to medical emergencies and from the sheriff’s department.
As a member of the South Atlantic region of the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) since 1989 and a Certified Agency of the USLA for Open Water Lifeguarding since 1995, their lifeguards meet USLA’s high standards of training.
They also rent beach chairs and umbrellas!
Serving Hilton Head since 1974, they are the only company on Hilton Head Island that sets up the equipment for you daily. Arrive at the beach and your personal umbrella and chairs will be reserved in your name. Just leave them behind when you depart at the end of the day!

Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) is an Australian not-for-profit community organisation that promotes water safety and provides surf rescue services.
SLSA strives to create a safe environment on Australia's beaches and coastline through patrols, education and training, public safety campaigns and the promotion of health and fitness. As of 30 June 2020 the organisation had 181,603 members with 314 affiliated surf life saving clubs.[2] The majority of its services are provided by volunteer surf lifesavers, that provided 1.26 million hours of service, rescued 7,731 people, performed 1,609,184 preventative actions and provided 68,766 first aid treatments during 2019/20.[3] In 1973, the organisation established the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service that, during 2016/17, delivered 850 rescue missions via helicopter.[3]
Surf Life Saving Australia also operates Australia's largest lifeguard service, contracting to local government and other coastal land managers. Additional income is sourced through community donations, fundraising and corporate sponsorship. SLSA is a foundation member of the International Life Saving Federation (ILS).[4]
History
[edit]
In 1902 it was against the law to enter the ocean during daylight hours in Australia .[5] A Sydney newspaper editor William Gocher announced his challenge of this law at Manly Beach[5][6] however it is unclear this act changed the rules. What did occur is that 10 days after an incident at Bondi on 13 November 1902, Randwick Council became the first to allow daylight bathing.[7] Eventually as more people began to challenge the law it was reversed but inexperienced swimmers were having problems with unusual surf conditions such as rip currents and the number of drownings increased.[5] Groups of volunteers began to patrol the beach to assist and on 21 February 1907 the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club was formed.[5] The Surf Bathing Association of New South Wales was formed on 18 October 1907 when nine voluntary surf life saving clubs and representatives of the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) met and affiliated to represent the interests of surf lifesavers.[8] In attendance were the Royal Life Saving Society, Manly Surf Club (this a different organisation to the Manly Life Saving Club which was formed in 1911[9]), Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club, Coogee Surf Life Brigade, Bronte Surf Brigade, Bondi Surf and Social Club (North Bondi SLSC), Tamarama Surf Club (only lasted a few weeks/months and then collapsed), Maroubra Surf Club, United Wanderers Surf Club and Woollahra Surf Club.[8] The meeting resolved:
"That it is desirable to form an association of surf clubs, to secure improved facilities for surf bathing, and otherwise promote and regulate the sport..." and "That the association be called 'The Surf Bathing Association of N.S.W."[10]
The name was changed to Surf Life Saving Association of Australia (SLSAA) in 1922;[8] and changed again in 1991 to the current Surf Life Saving Australia.[8]
Women were actively involved in surf-lifesaving for many years, and in 1980 the association rules were changed so that they could become active patrolling members of the SLSA.[11]
Surf Life Saving
[edit]
SLSA's vision is zero preventable drowning deaths in Australian waters, and is worked towards through patrolling beaches, coastal risk assessments, education, and training.[4] Since 1907, surf lifesavers have rescued over 650,000 beachgoers.[12] In 2017-18, surf lifesavers and Australian Lifeguard Service (ALS) Lifeguards performed 10,249 rescues, 65,296 first aid treatments, and over 1.5 million preventative actions on Australia's beaches.[3]

Membership
[edit]
As of 30 June 2020, Surf Life Saving has a membership base of 181,603.[14] Nationally there are 72,689[14] junior members, or Nippers as they are more commonly known. Nippers are aged between 5–13 years and learn beach safety and awareness skills, in a fun and healthy environment.
Training
[edit]
Surf lifesavers must be competent swimmers and skilled in rescue techniques, resuscitation and first aid. The entry level qualification to be a surf lifesaver is the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC). Volunteers must be at least 13 years old to undertake this qualification, which involves theory and practical training, and an assessment of patrolling and lifesaving skills.
Upon completion of the Surf Rescue Certificate, surf lifesavers are encouraged to undertake the Bronze Medallion and then additional training in the areas of Emergency Care, Powercraft, Beach Management, Aquatic Rescue and Training and Assessment. Lifesavers must also participate in an annual skills maintenance session to ensure that they maintain and update their skills.
International Development
[edit]
Most of Surf Life Saving’s international work is undertaken in the Asia-Pacific region, not only due to geographical location, but also because of the aquatic environments within the region. Also, as the largest developed country within the Asia Pacific region, a great deal of responsibility to support developing countries lies with Australia.
Research
[edit]
Surf Life Saving Australia is focused on exploring statistical and analytical data to support development of education, technology, communications and operations to reduce coastal drowning deaths in Australia. Although SLSA has been conducting research for many years, 2010 was the birth of a dedicated and thorough research program. The SLSA Research Scheme was introduced to adopt rigour into research project design and provide funding for targeted and priority research projects.

The moment San Clemente surfer Jonathan Robinson plunged into the Pacific to pass a lifeguarding test at age 17, his passion became his profession.
Seven years of protecting the Orange County coastline groomed Robinson to be where he is today. The USC Master of Public Health student dreams of an international career in emergency medicine, saving lives wherever he can.
The aspiring physician and MPH student is pursuing his degree online through the Keck School of Medicine of USC in global health leadership while traveling the world for the International Surf Lifesaving Association (ISLA). He serves as an emergency medical technician at a childrens hospital and volunteers as a youth program director and CPR instructor.
Drowning as a public health issue
Robinson is committed to saving swimmers’ lives through ISLA. Drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. While all economies and regions face burden and death from drowning, low- and middle-income countries account for more than 90 percent of unintentional drowning deaths.
Dedicated to open-water lifesaving and preventing drownings, the association helps people secure aquatic safety in their own coastal communities. The organization supports lifeguard-training programs and exchanges, equipment donations, purchasing connections and technology to sustain a global network of lifeguards that share information, techniques, stories and culture.
Robinsons ISLA trip to Nicaragua was a collaboration with the Red Cross. He and other team members slept in a warehouse alongside Nicaraguan lifeguards and members of the police force, fire department and military.
Our shared learning was tested each day on the beaches with thousands of people in our waters, he said. I was surrounded by a network of global first-responders and lifeguards, united in their mission to combat injury or death from drowning.
After that trip, he was hooked.
Planning other lifeguarding projects
Now, as a watch commander, Robinson spends less time scanning the horizon these days in order to work with association administrators to help plan projects, facilitate inter-agency coordination, identify goals for response teams and organize trip logistics.
Google Translate has become my best friend in receiving and sending emails to Turkey, Thailand, Chile, China and Nicaragua, Robinson said. But software and language skills only go so far in handling the multifaceted challenges of international work.
The skills I have learned from the MPH program in performing cultural assessments and consulting with local experts has helped fill in the gaps, he said. At ISLA, we never assume we are the sole experts in host countries; we are not there to teach or to lead; we are there to partner, collaborate and to empower.
This month, Robinson will travel to China and return for a third time to Nicaragua to assist in the training of local lifeguards and support for beaches. In the last year, he has led international teams to Turkey and Thailand, where they assisted training for lifeguards in drowning prevention, open-water rescue and medical skills.
Flexible, applicable education
Between work hours, local volunteer work and global trips, Robinson is careful to stay on top of his coursework.
The beauty of being an online student is self-managing my time for studies, he said.
That flexibility is a cornerstone of USCs online MPH degree.
Many of our online MPH students, like Jonathan, are working professionals, proving you dont have to put your life on hold to get a prestigious graduate degree, said the programs director Shubha Kumar, assistant professor of clinical preventive medicine. It is challenging to juggle school on top of a career and public service, but we work with each student individually to ensure they stay on track with their goals.
And after college?
USC was Robinsons top choice for pursing a graduate degree.
I sought a graduate program that could strengthen my professional skills and build connections within the public health sector, he said. His mentor, Mellissa Withers, USC associate professor of clinical preventive medicine, has connected him to fellow Trojans working in his field, and she advises him on career goals.
Having a faculty adviser like her is why I chose USCs MPH program and why being a member of the Trojan Family is different than any other, he said.
After completing his degree, Robinson plans to specialize in emergency medicine while leading research on protocols and policy reform. He advises all students looking to study and work in public health to prepare to be transformed by the people with whom they work.
The communities and programs you partner with will show you the resiliency of the human spirit, he said. Public health is as much about promoting healthier behaviors and outcomes as it is about being advocates for individuals who just want to be heard.

9 September 2018
On 9 September 2018, selected members from the First and Second place teams of the Australian National Championships will be joining Japanese lifesavers at the Ocean Surf Challenge in Shirahama 2018 at Shirarahama Beach, Nanki-shirahama in Wakayama prefecture. At this event, the Australian team will conduct a demonstration of “Patrol Competition” a hallmark of Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) format.
The Patrol Competition has been taking place in Australia annually for more than 30 years to not only improve and strengthen life-saving personnel physically, but to reinforce rescue techniques and know-how; all necessary skill sets for surf patrol to provide safer beaches. The Australian team’s demonstration will be based on frequently occurring water accidents in Japan, and displaying the necessary team dynamics through the rescue simulation.
In addition to the demonstration, the team will meet with Japanese lifesavers and professionals who work near the ocean to contribute to local beach safety and to improve rescue skills in the case of water accidents in Japan. This activity aims to promote the common global principles of lifesaving, which is to prevent accidents before they occur.

Like many sports, the surf sports were born out of a professional activity. As a result of the dangers of the ocean, the development of the maritime traffic and surf bathing in Biarritz, the locals decide to create the first organization “Bathers Guiders” and a Surf Life Saving club.
In 1836, a human -sized company was created to ensure the safety of bathing at sea.
The BSC Surf Life Saving Academy is opened to everyone and is managed by lifeguards and qualified educators. It aims to initiate surf life savers from early age to the adult age in a fun way with the skills and knowledge of surf awareness.
At Biarritz Surf Life Saving, we provide a wide range of training sessions to improve your skills whether you aspire to be a more competent lifeguard or represent your State or Country, Surf Sports at BSC has pathways to help you achieve your goals.
The sport season starts at the beginning of October and it wraps up with the French National Surf Life Saving championship.
Our “Discovery group” caters for new members to discover the surf lifesaving (up to 2 years of continuity at the club). This group is tailored to acquire surf awareness and to initiate to the different surf sports disciplines.
Once the basics have been acquired, we propose them to participate to the local surf life saving competitions, whether is in “Pool Rescue” at the Biarritz’s Cup but also beach and surf events as the Carnival’s Cup and Carcabueno’s Cup (around spring/summer).
Our “Improvement group” are suitable for surf lifesavers already familiar with the ocean and the surf sports. The aim of this group is to maintain and improve those skills with the possibility of participating to any local competition.
The “Advanced group” caters for members with a competition profile, whether is at a state or national level. This group will aim for a sporting progression to compete, or to professionally work as a Lifeguard at the beach. The youngest people in this group belong to a sport section from Jean Rostand high school in Biarritz. They aim for a qualification to the Nationals while ensuring their school project and having access to a medical and sport monitoring.
The “Expert group” is designed for national or international competitors.
The surfboat is a surf lifesaving discipline very popular in Australia and New Zealand. The surfboat was used for rescue at big surf conditions where lifesavers couldn’t swim or use theirs boards to rescue the victims. Boat crews were trained in life saving skills as well as boat handling technique. Powered vessels such as inflatable skis and Jet Ski personal watercraft have replaced surf boats as the primary tool for real world rescues efforts, but surfboat training and competition remain popular for Australians as recreational activities among both professional rescuers and athletes.
This sport was implemented in France back in 2001. It was started by Philippe Doimo from Bègles Surf Club. The first Surfboat competition organized in Europe was at the French Championships in Hossegor in 2001. The participant teams were Bayonne, Bordeaux and Hossegor.
These boats are fantastic to watch and require real team effort to row together through challenging conditions. Such was the showcase at the “Grande Plage” at Biarritz back on September 5th 2008 during an international competition organized in Europe.
The surfboat craft is up to 300kg. A crew is made of five members: four rowers and a sweep. The sweep stands at the back of the boat and steers using a long oar. The remaining four crew members have one oar each – it’s their job to haul the craft out through the swell. The surf boat requires to be fit and strong, have surf skills and a solid teamwork. The sweep leads the boat and has an important role to guide the rowers.
When the gun goes off, the crews leap into their boats and begin the mad scramble out through the surf. If all goes to plan, the boats power through the waves and over the swells. Many crews will mistime their run or be bested by the ocean and can be flipped or carried backwards by the wave. The most experimented of the crew is responsible for navigating and avoiding a back-shooting.
The course used for surfboat rowing races are circular in shape which are specially designed with floating buoys and are about 400m in length. At the start of the race, all crew members of each boat stand close to their boats holding its hull in knee-deep water. All the boats are positioned about 23m apart from each other. The race begins with a starting signal, after which the crew members push their boats for a short distance to gain momentum and the jump on to it and start rowing. The boat that first crosses the designated flags from the seaward side is declared as the winner. Anyone has its chances, a boat from the back can take a wave and finish first.
It all started at the end of 60s in New Zealand, when 2 lifesavers Warren Mitchell and John Fuller imagined a motorized surf craft to be able to be deployed in any surf conditions to save lives.
Since the 70’s, the Surf lifesaving Australia and Surf Lifesaving New Zealand implemented progressively their IRBs in the beach. In 2019, they were 780 IRB deployed that contributed to more than 4200 rescues.
In 2017, the BSC equipped with 2 IRBs to assure water safety and first aid rescue during sport events and cultural events.
Thus, in May of the same year, the summer temperatures being favorable to frequenting the beaches, but with strong oceanic conditions and a large coefficient, the city of Biarritz asked the association to allocate two IRBs. It was requested also to provide two lifeguards to the Main beach “The Grande Plage” and two others to the Milady beach to patrol the beaches and provide first aid assistance if needed.
The Biarritz Surf Lifesaving is convinced of the usefulness of IRB surf craft and particularly in to support the work of lifeguards before and after the season.
Summer 2022
Beach surveillance is generalized to all the beaches of Biarritz from July 1st.
The related regulations will lead to the end of our current schedule on Sunday June 26 and the implementation of our summer schedule from Monday July 4 and valid until Sunday August 28 included.
Subgroups A and B of groups D2, D3, D4, P2 will merge.
Here is the list of summer groups.
Winter 2022-2023
The 2022-2023 season will start on Monday, October 3.
The re-enrollment campaign is open. Members of the 2021-2022 season have priority to join the association in September.
The 2022-2023 season begins on Saturday October, 1st.
Below is your training group for the 2022-2023 season.
For any new club registration, go to the dedicated page of the website.
At every competition registered in the schedule of sports competitions, the BSC provides a transport of surf craft, whether is with the trailer or with a small truck (for the youngest categories). Priority is given to the surf craft of the club, then to the personal surf craft of the youth people then to the adults.
A bus trip is organized for the competitions requiring more than 2 hours of travel. For local trips, every member will arrange their transport. Some members recommend using the website Co-voit.net. The club is not responsible the management of the car sharing but supports the initiative.
The transport details for each competition will be communicated in the “Club news” section at least one week before the event. All information will be updated as soon as communicated by the club.
For local events (less than 2hrs travel), the club won’t manage the transport of the surf craft.
For events requiring an organized transport, the club will take in charge the transport of the surf craft and will request for a participation equivalent to catering costs and approximately 1/3 of the cost of the travel per competitor.
Competitions entries are billed when you register for the competition. Payment in DPS points is possible for those who wish to do so, by contacting Alexandra at alexandra.iribarren@biarritzsauvetagecotier.com.
They are supported by the club for all national competitions.
You or your child has expressed the wish to join Biarritz Coastal Rescue for the first time at the start of the 2022-2023 school year. Thank you for your interest in our association.
Next season will start on Monday, October 3.
Practical information for next season (age categories, groups, schedules, etc.) will be communicated in mid-August. In order to be contacted again in August for the rest of the registration procedure, please complete the following form.
Thank you for your understanding.

Surf Life Saving Australia and Invictus Australia have united to support and promote the health and wellbeing of veterans and families with the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club in Sydney.
The Assistant Minister for Veteran’s Affairs, the Hon Matt Thistlethwaite MP, joined with Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) CEO Adam Weir, Invictus Australia CEO Michael Hartung and members of the Defence community to formally announce the unique partnership that will provide opportunities and pathways for veterans and their families to participate in Surf Life Saving.
Mr Thistlethwaite MP, a devoted surf lifesaver for over 30 years, congratulated both organisations for the initiative and knows first-hand how the involvement in a surf lifesaving club will be beneficial for veterans and their families.
He says, “The partnership between Surf Life Saving Australia and Invictus Australia reflects a shared commitment to promote mental and physical wellbeing for veterans and families. We know that sport can contribute to health and wellbeing, particularly when recovering from wounds, injury, or illness. This new alliance provides more local opportunities and pathways for veterans in Surf Lifesaving. It means bringing more veterans together in their community, building mental resilience, and creating friendships.”
Invictus Australia is passionate about unleashing the power of sport to empower the Australian Defence Community, mentally, physically and socially at both a grassroots level and on the international stage. Given Surf Life Saving Australia’s focus on service, strong communities, national footprint, international competitions, and promotion of active, outdoor lifestyles, the partnership aligns strongly with Invictus Australia’s vision.
Invictus Australia CEO, Michael Hartung, highlighted the significance of this partnership.
Surf Life Saving Australia has a history of safeguarding Australia’s beaches and fostering a strong sense of community. Adam Weir, CEO of Surf Life Saving Australia, says the organisations shared values make this partnership a natural fit.
“We exist to save lives, create great Australians and build better communities. With more than 190,000 volunteers at 315 surf life saving clubs, community is at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to partner with Invictus Australia to enhance the health of veterans and families,” said Weir.
“Together, we aim to create a supportive environment where the values of teamwork, resilience, and the joy of life by the water can positively impact those who have served our nation”.
This MOU stands as a testament to the shared commitment of Invictus Australia and Surf Life Saving Australia to promote veterans’ mental and physical wellbeing, foster a supportive community, and empower individuals to thrive beyond their service. This will be done through a range of opportunities including recognising transferable skills in volunteer roles at surf clubs across Australia, entering Team Invictus Australia as an interclub team at the the 2024 Lifesaving World Championships on the Gold Coast and creating Club Open Days to introduce the Australian Defence Community to Surf Life Saving communities and provide new social connection points for veterans transitioning from service.
The event saw a heartwarming turnout, with a mix of attendees, including current and former serving personnel and their family members who came together to express their support for the collaboration. Among the attendees:
Kelly, a member of the inaugural Team Invictus Australia who competed at the Lifesaving World Championships in 2022 in Italy, as the first military veteran team.
Brett, a current serving Army officer and proud member of Coogee Surf Life Saving Club, brought his two daughters along, both of whom are budding Nippers.
James, a former-serving Army veteran, graced the event in the company of his daughter, passionately discussing how Surf Life Saving allows them to bond while patrolling together.
In attendance was Chris, a dedicated member of the Maroubra RSL sub-branch and the local surf club, who joined us to explore future opportunities for collaboration.
Mark, the former North Bondi President, was instrumental in establishing a previous Bronze Medallion course and emerged as a fervent advocate of this initiative.
Jon and Ryan, committed to ensuring safety, diligently conducted their Saturday volunteering SLS duties while fervently discussing plans for future training opportunities.
In addition to these remarkable individuals, numerous others from both the local veteran and Surf Life Saving communities also graced the event, a testament to the robust sense of community already thriving in this dynamic space. Their enthusiastic participation demonstrated the potential for a powerful synergy between these two communities, one that holds the promise of transformative experiences and shared growth.
Stay tuned for veteran-friendly Surf Life Saving events in local communities, and keep an eye on our event page for details.

People from throughout the USA and visitors from throughout the world visit surf beaches. A “surf beach” is considered any beach with breaking waves. Anyone who visits a surf beach, whether at the ocean or large bodies of water like the Great Lakes, is exposed to the danger of rip currents. They are the #1 hazard at a surf beach, leading to tens of thousands of rescues by lifeguards and over 100 drowning fatalities every year in the United States.
You can help educate people about how to stay safe at beaches where rip currents form. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Lifesaving Association (USLA) have created this toolkit to support the work of all advocates for beach and ocean safety to help us expand our reach to as many people as possible, so that the number of rescues, injuries, and deaths can be minimized.
First, we encourage you to learn more about rip currents from two official sources.
+Websites
Second, we offer a PowerPoint rip current safety presentation you can use to educate civic groups, school assemblies, or any other interested groups. The content is ready to use, so you don’t have to personally be an expert. Notes in the PowerPoint presentation are provided to guide you through your talk using scientifically supported safety information. The presentation is also available in PDF format, with separate speaker notes and through a narrated YouTube version of the presentation.
+Rip Current Safety Presentation
We also offer downloadable signs, brochures, stickers, posters, and other materials that promote rip current safety. They have been carefully designed by experts in the field to provide clear and accurate safety information. You are welcome to use as needed, at no cost, as long as you don’t modify the content.
If you would like to share your story on how rip currents have impacted your life, or the role you play in amplifying NOAA and USLA safety information on rip currents, we’d like to hear from you. You can also read the stories shared with us by others. If you’d like to create or participate in a survivor support network, the USLA has the information you need.
Would you like to see and share videos about rip currents? Great, we offer several here:

Over next two weekends the Los Angeles County lifeguards will have the opportunity to show the public why and how they play such vital roles in beach communities.
Starting at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, lifeguards will showcase their athletic prowess in events held on the north side of the Hermosa Beach Pier as part of the 55tg International Surf Festival. The competitions are held under floodlights, enabling the men and women to perform their duties during the day and allow spectators to view rescue demonstrations.
Friday’s action concludes with the LA County Lifeguard Championships highlighted by the Bud Stevenson Intra Crew Medley Relay. The team from Manhattan Beach will be seeking its third consecutive Bud Stevenson title.
On Saturday evening, the Southern California Lifeguard Championships take place. The next generation of lifeguards will compete in the Junior Lifeguard Championships. Hermosa won the 2015 Boy’s Junior Lifeguard title.
The lifeguard competition will end with teams from Southern California vying for the coveted Judge Irvin Taplin Medley Relay title, where the Taplin Ball, a perpetual award is presented to the winner of the contest.The names of each member of the winning team are engraved on a plaque that is mounted on the Taplin Bell.
As is tradition, each winning lifeguard has his or her name read aloud, is presented a medal then rings the Taplin Bell the number of times the individual lifeguard has won.
The LA County – Southern team will be seeking its third consecutive Taplin title,.
Mel Solberg, of Torrance, boasts a record-holding number of wins with 17. Close behind Solberg in wins is Tom Seth, of Manhattan Beach, who has won the Taplin Bell competition 16 times.
“It’s always such a great feeling to win the Taplin but it is a total team effort,” Solberg said after his victory last year. “Never in a million years did I think I would have this many wins. When you win that first one, you‘re so happy that you’re on that bell for all time. Then you get the fever and you want to keep winning and winning. I love hearing these guys when they win it for the first time because I remember my first and it’s an amazing feeling.”
The friendly – yet fierce – competition is a welcome break for the lifeguards. In 2015, during only a one-week span from July 26 through Aug. 2, the Los Angeles County Fire Department Lifeguard Division performed 1,949 ocean rescues along local beaches.
Along with bragging rights, the Surf Festival will provide an opportunity for lifeguards to prepare for the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) National Championship to be held Aug. 10-13 in Hermosa Beach.
More than 1,000 lifeguards and Junior Lifeguards from both coasts will compete in events that include swimming, running, surf boat rowing, surf ski and board paddling.

Israel Life Saving
|
https://www.israellifesaving.org/about
|
Israel Life Saving Federation (ILSF) is a nonprofit, community-based volunteer organization based on the world's leading water-safety model - Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA). Our goal is to prevent drownings across Israel through education and practical courses catered to all age groups from as young as 7 years old.
The surf-rescue model seeks to teach volunteers and passersby to respond and offer first aid in the case of ocean drowning incidents. Courses include water awareness, ocean lifesaving and first aid, combined with fitness and competitions. Participants learn and practice skills in the sand and water with equipment including specialized floats and surfboards, and compete in running, swimming and surfing.
While new in Israel, surf lifesaving is a broad, well-established social movement that has saved hundreds of thousands of lives around the world. Established in Australia in 1907, the movement has 180,000 volunteers in Australia alone, and is also popular in English-speaking countries including New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa and the United Kingdom. Members serve as volunteer lifeguards on their local beaches and participate in competitive surf sports.
ISLF, Israel's local surf lifesaving federation, was founded in 2019 by Paul Hakim, a Silver Medallion surf lifesaver and beach patrol manager from Sydney, his brother Danny Hakim, and Lisa Segelov, all originally from Australia. In 2021, volunteers saved or assisted more than 70 people in the water, both while volunteering at official swimming events and as passersby on Israel’s beaches.
The organization's operations during 2021 included leading beachside courses for children, teens and adults, and volunteering on the water safety team for major sporting events including Israel's first Ironman competition in Tiberias and the Olympic marathon swimming qualifier in Eilat. ISLF is also active in lobbying the Knesset for effective water safety education.
In July 2022, ISLF hosted the first-ever surf-lifesaving event at the Maccabiah games. Other activities in 2022 have included courses for all ages on beaches around the country, including in Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Ashkelon, Dor and Jisr al-Zarqa.
ISLF President Paul Hakim notes that many beach drownings occur in broad daylight, after the lifeguards have left for the day. The beaches are often still full of people, and if only one person were to know how to respond, lives could be saved.
“Coming from Australia, surf lifesaving is a normal thing, and coming to Israel it’s so lacking. This is a huge vacuum in Israel that we have the potential to fill,” explains Hakim, referring to the large number of drownings at Israel’s beaches every summer. “Israel is known as the start-up nation when it comes to technology, and Australia is known as the best nation for water safety and prevention. We’re bringing Australian expertise to Israel.”
Israel Life Saving Federation (ILSF) is a member of the European Life Saving Federation and is an official associate member of the International Life Saving Federation. It is a registered nonprofit in Israel.

February 2023 — As I look down the beach I can hardly believe what I’m seeing! It looks like it could be a surf lifesaving carnival and I’ve never been to one. Or some kind of carnival anyway, and with my usual curiosity I want to see what’s going on.
I immediately head towards it, even if I can only have a quick look and take a few photos. We’re trying to find the off-leash area for the dog and have discovered the carnival in the process. I so badly want to investigate, at least a little!
A childhood memory: a picture of surf lifesavers, five or six of them, pushing a big wooden boat with oars out into the surf, their heads covered in cotton caps tied under the chin. Another picture: a surf lifesaving carnival, 1950’s, probably in Sydney, a parade of men, again with the caps, marching with the leader proudly holding a big flag aloft displaying the club colours. It was probably on Bondi Beach, even then a famous, almost mythical place.
Things have changed a lot since then. The wooden boats have been replaced by inflatables with outboard motors, and with jet skis; helicopters roam the skies above popular beaches;
eight-foot surfboards have been replaced by much shorter and lighter rescue boards with hand grips; there is now a national governing body, and Surf Life Saving Australia has grown to be one of the biggest volunteer organisations in the world. There are almost 190,000 members, and over the years more than 685,000 people have been saved from drowning. There are now 314 clubs around the country, and it’s all funded by government grants, fundraising, corporate sponsorships, and community donations. One thing hasn’t changed – they all still wear the little caps tied under the chin.
SLSA exists to save lives, create great Australians and build better communities. Through its coastal safety, lifesaving, education, sport and recreation programs and services, SLSA generates significant social and economic benefits for the Australian community each year.
A recent audit demonstrated that for every dollar invested $20 is returned to the economy; the yearly worth to the community is $6.5 billion; and over sixteen million volunteer hours are logged each year. Australia’s intrinsic and passionate beach culture results in 300 million beach goers visiting the coast every year, but Australian beaches are among the most dangerous and unpredictable in the world. SLSA, a unique not-for-profit community organisation, has grown from the need to manage the hazards associated with this inherent beach culture.
Apart from local carnivals and competitions, that are the training ground for skilled lifesavers, there is The Aussies – the annual Australian Surf Life Saving Championships where members from Australia’s 314 surf clubs compete in more than 480 beach and ocean events. It is the largest event of its kind in the world, and compares in size to the Commonwealth Games, with as many as 5 to 7 thousand competitors in youth, open, and masters categories. Events cover all the skills required to save a life, from water skills to beach skills to first aid and team events – including sprinting, board rescue, wading, surf swimming, ironman/woman and a surf boat competition. It’s huge! Surf lifesaving has become a national sport.
But what we come across is not The Aussies. What we come across is the nippers.
Nippers includes the Junior Development Program which is designed to ensure children have fun at the beach, while participating in lessons that will provide them with a pathway to become a qualified surf lifesaver and a junior competitor. As they progress through the various age groups, nippers will undergo lessons in wading, running, ocean swimming, board paddling, and lifesaving skills as well as learning the basics of resuscitation and first aid.
This event is the Far South Coast Branch Junior Carnival 2023 on Broulee Beach. It’s a riot of kids in electric pink and acid green,
which I initially think are club colours. But no, they are simply for visibility. Then I notice every child has his/her age category marked on their leg or upper arm – Under11, U12, etc. The oldest are U14. Later a bit of sleuthing tells me that the participating clubs are Moruya, Pambula, Tathra, Broulee, Bermagui, Batemans Bay, and Narooma – all names I’m familiar with, all towns on the NSW far south coast. Each club has a tent and mountains of equipment.
There must be hundreds of people here: officials, race supervisors, parents, families, and of course the NSW branch of SLSA in its iconic red and yellow colours.
I watch the kids prepare for, and then run relays.
Meanwhile out on the water there are paddling races. I think they keep their legs bent to stop their feet slowing them down by dragging in the water. That’s my guess anyway. They’re paddling on something that seems to be the offspring of a marriage between a boogie board and a surf board.
Here you can see a rescue board with the handgrips along both sides for a drowning person to hold on to.
This next race went across the sand rather than along it. And weirdly the kids began lying on their bellies facing away from the direction they were to run in. They jump up and turn and run like mad things for a flag baton across the sand. There’s one less baton than the number of kids entered.
Of course there are swimming races. I’m in awe of the way the kids hurl themselves into the surf, dive through the waves and swim into deeper and deeper water. These are not short swims. Out to the buoys and back is several hundred metres. These kids below are all only nine years old; you can see the U10 on their legs. You know when they hurl themselves into the surf without hesitation that they’ve been doing it since they could walk, and probably started learning to swim before they could walk.
And naturally there’s a lot of hanging out with your mates, playing in the sand.
And those caps? They’re for visibility, a clear form of in-water identification. At carnivals the cap colours indicate the club. On beaches that are patrolled by SLSA they are worn by lifesavers while on active duty. The red and yellow quartered patrol cap has been an iconic symbol of the surf lifesaving movement for almost a century and makes lifesavers instantly recognizable.
The difference between lifesavers and lifeguards is lifesavers are volunteers who are part of surf lifesaving clubs. Lifeguards are paid professionals who work for the Australian Lifeguard Service, local council, or an alternate service provider. Where possible, lifeguards are recruited through the volunteer base provided by SLSA. Apart from first aid and resuscitation certificates, lifeguards must pass the following fitness tests: A minimum 400m swim, 800m run, 400m rescue board paddle and 800m run in the surf, all in under 25 minutes, plus an 800 metre pool swim in under 14 minutes, and rescue scenarios utilising a Rescue Board and Rescue Tube. They are clearly serious athletes.
Of course I knew there was surf lifesaving volunteers on Aussie beaches, and I knew that they were always recognizable by their bright red and yellow colours, but I had no idea the organisation had gotten so big. And so necessary. Last year sadly 125 people drowned at Australian beaches, but nearly 10,000 were rescued.

Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute Announces Partnership with
California Surf Lifesaving Association
LOS ANGELES – Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute, a world leader in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of sports-related injuries and illnesses, today announced a new partnership with the California Surf Lifesaving Association (CSLSA) as the Official Healthcare Sponsor of the 2022 West Coast Lifeguard and Junior Lifeguard Championships on July 22nd and 23rd.
The California Surf Lifesaving Association is a non-profit (501-C3 tax exempt) organization chartered to promote beach safety awareness and professional open-water lifesaving standards. The 30 CSLSA Chapters/Agencies share the mission, goals and objectives of the CSLSA. The CSLSA (West Coast Region) is one of nine regions of the United States Lifesaving Association, which is affiliated with the International Life Saving Federation.
“We are excited to partner with the California Surf Lifesaving Association because of its commitment to increasing awareness about open-water beach safety and our shared focus on injury prevention,” said Daniel Kharrazi, M.D., sports medicine specialist and orthopedic surgeon, at Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute. “As the proud and preferred provider of Southern California’s courageous first responders, our extensive experience in the fields of sports medicine, outpatient surgery, and rehabilitation will help keep lifeguards healthy and, on the beach, so they can continue to do what they do best – protect and save lives.”
As open-water lifesavers, CSLSA promotes beach safety awareness and professional lifeguard standards through public education, training programs, exchange programs, junior lifeguard programs, competition and other means. The ultimate goal is to prevent and reduce aquatic injuries, accidents and death at open-water beaches in the United States and throughout the world.
Bill Humphreys, President of the California Surf Lifesaving Association, stated: “As first responders in a challenging and often dangerous environment, lifeguards must remain in top physical condition as they serve the public. Injuries to lifeguards can be minimized but cannot be prevented entirely. When injuries to lifeguards do occur, top-notch care provided by Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute is needed in order to restore the health and functions of the lifeguard. Because of its outstanding reputation and history of serving first responders, the California Surf Lifesaving Association is very pleased to enter into a partnership with Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute as the Official Healthcare Sponsor. This is a partnership which will directly benefit and serve both lifeguards and the public for many years to come.”

The National Surf Lifesaving Association was organised in 1964 by lifeguard agencies along the California coast. In 1979 the governing body of the NSLA changed the name to the United States Lifeguard Association for the purpose of increasing participation in the association by lifeguard agencies throughout the country. These agencies saw the need for co-operation in the advancement of lifesaving techniques and public education.
The USLA is a professional non-profit organisation whose general membership is comprised of lifeguards and water rescue services throughout the United States. It is dedicated to enhancing the profession of lifesaving. The USLA promotes the profession of lifesaving in the United States and worldwide as a professional endeavor and as a means of public safety. It informs, educates and fosters the development of its members and the public in the realm of lifesaving. It encourages the growth of lifesaving in local chapters from a county and state level.

Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) is an Australian not-for-profit community organisation that promotes water safety and provides surf rescue services.
SLSA strives to create a safe environment on Australia's beaches and coastline through patrols, education and training, public safety campaigns and the promotion of health and fitness. As of 30 June 2020 the organisation had 181,603 members with 314 affiliated surf life saving clubs.[2] The majority of its services are provided by volunteer surf lifesavers, that provided 1.26 million hours of service, rescued 7,731 people, performed 1,609,184 preventative actions and provided 68,766 first aid treatments during 2019/20.[3] In 1973, the organisation established the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter Service that, during 2016/17, delivered 850 rescue missions via helicopter.[3]
Surf Life Saving Australia also operates Australia's largest lifeguard service, contracting to local government and other coastal land managers. Additional income is sourced through community donations, fundraising and corporate sponsorship. SLSA is a foundation member of the International Life Saving Federation (ILS).[4]
History
[edit]
In 1902 it was against the law to enter the ocean during daylight hours in Australia .[5] A Sydney newspaper editor William Gocher announced his challenge of this law at Manly Beach[5][6] however it is unclear this act changed the rules. What did occur is that 10 days after an incident at Bondi on 13 November 1902, Randwick Council became the first to allow daylight bathing.[7] Eventually as more people began to challenge the law it was reversed but inexperienced swimmers were having problems with unusual surf conditions such as rip currents and the number of drownings increased.[5] Groups of volunteers began to patrol the beach to assist and on 21 February 1907 the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club was formed.[5] The Surf Bathing Association of New South Wales was formed on 18 October 1907 when nine voluntary surf life saving clubs and representatives of the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) met and affiliated to represent the interests of surf lifesavers.[8] In attendance were the Royal Life Saving Society, Manly Surf Club (this a different organisation to the Manly Life Saving Club which was formed in 1911[9]), Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club, Coogee Surf Life Brigade, Bronte Surf Brigade, Bondi Surf and Social Club (North Bondi SLSC), Tamarama Surf Club (only lasted a few weeks/months and then collapsed), Maroubra Surf Club, United Wanderers Surf Club and Woollahra Surf Club.[8] The meeting resolved:
"That it is desirable to form an association of surf clubs, to secure improved facilities for surf bathing, and otherwise promote and regulate the sport..." and "That the association be called 'The Surf Bathing Association of N.S.W."[10]
The name was changed to Surf Life Saving Association of Australia (SLSAA) in 1922;[8] and changed again in 1991 to the current Surf Life Saving Australia.[8]
Women were actively involved in surf-lifesaving for many years, and in 1980 the association rules were changed so that they could become active patrolling members of the SLSA.[11]
Surf Life Saving
[edit]
SLSA's vision is zero preventable drowning deaths in Australian waters, and is worked towards through patrolling beaches, coastal risk assessments, education, and training.[4] Since 1907, surf lifesavers have rescued over 650,000 beachgoers.[12] In 2017-18, surf lifesavers and Australian Lifeguard Service (ALS) Lifeguards performed 10,249 rescues, 65,296 first aid treatments, and over 1.5 million preventative actions on Australia's beaches.[3]

Membership
[edit]
As of 30 June 2020, Surf Life Saving has a membership base of 181,603.[14] Nationally there are 72,689[14] junior members, or Nippers as they are more commonly known. Nippers are aged between 5–13 years and learn beach safety and awareness skills, in a fun and healthy environment.
Training
[edit]
Surf lifesavers must be competent swimmers and skilled in rescue techniques, resuscitation and first aid. The entry level qualification to be a surf lifesaver is the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC). Volunteers must be at least 13 years old to undertake this qualification, which involves theory and practical training, and an assessment of patrolling and lifesaving skills.
Upon completion of the Surf Rescue Certificate, surf lifesavers are encouraged to undertake the Bronze Medallion and then additional training in the areas of Emergency Care, Powercraft, Beach Management, Aquatic Rescue and Training and Assessment. Lifesavers must also participate in an annual skills maintenance session to ensure that they maintain and update their skills.
International Development
[edit]
Most of Surf Life Saving’s international work is undertaken in the Asia-Pacific region, not only due to geographical location, but also because of the aquatic environments within the region. Also, as the largest developed country within the Asia Pacific region, a great deal of responsibility to support developing countries lies with Australia.
Research
[edit]
Surf Life Saving Australia is focused on exploring statistical and analytical data to support development of education, technology, communications and operations to reduce coastal drowning deaths in Australia. Although SLSA has been conducting research for many years, 2010 was the birth of a dedicated and thorough research program. The SLSA Research Scheme was introduced to adopt rigour into research project design and provide funding for targeted and priority research projects.

HUNTINGTON BEACH — In some countries, lifeguards aren’t a given, and if they are, there isn’t always uniform life-saving procedures in place or the equipment and infrastructure needed to save lives.
“I think we take it for granted that we have lifeguards here all the time,” said Raquel Lizarraga, 25, who volunteers with the Huntington Beach-based International Surf Lifesaving Assn.
It was the disparity in lifeguard services that brought together four Huntington Beach Lifeguards to volunteer their time and expertise to found the International Surf Lifesaving Assn., or ISLA, which works to prevent deaths from drowning by sharing and exchanging life-saving procedures with established lifeguard agencies to areas without any lifeguard around the world. The organization also offers its services locally, helping to patrol the beaches and give classes in Laguna Beach.
Since 2008, lifeguards and other emergency personnel have volunteered their time to give assistance in Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Macedonia, Mexico, New Zealand and Nicaragua. The organization is getting requests for help in Macedonia, Philippines, South Africa and Mozambique, said lifeguard Henry Reyes, 32.
“I think the coolest part of saving lives through ISLA is...we’re actually able to expand our rescues exponentially,” Reyes said.
ISLA receives its funding through donations. Most of the volunteers travel to the various countries on their own dime, according to Reyes.
A group of ISLA volunteers are spending their New Year’s meeting with officials in Peru and assisting Chile’s private lifesaving agency to patrol the busy beaches and exchange information.
“We help show them basic things that we seem to take for granted here,” said Huntington Beach lifeguard Tyler Erwin, 25.
The organization was founded by Reyes and his then fellow Huntington Beach Junior Lifeguard instructors Peter Eich, Scott Hunthausen and Olin Patterson in 2008. It started after Hunthausen, now living in Texas, returned from studying abroad in Nicaragua where his host brother drowned.
“[That] really kick started it off and moved all of us into action,” Reyes said.
Since they started working for ISLA, the volunteers have discovered that lifeguard conditions vary greatly.
Chile and Brazil have developed lifeguard infrastructure, but Nicaragua doesn’t really have anything, Reyes said. Some places rely on volunteer lifeguards who only work on the weekends while other places have private contractors, he said.
“It’s a completely different animal down there,” Erwin said.
ISLA conducts lifeguard certification courses, bringing down equipment and teaching how to identify swimmers in need of rescue, about the different rip tides and currents and how to use equipment, like buoys.
“It can be frustrating when you don’t have the support you think you need, but it can be rewarding when you are helping them,” Erwin said.
In Chile, ISLA will be working with Argentina lifeguards to partner with Chile’s private lifesaving agency Servicios Especiales Acuaticos Ltda, or SEAL, which has more than 200 lifeguards, Reyes said.
The group will help patrol the coast of Pichilemu, exchange lifesaving techniques as well as meet with lifeguard officials in Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay to discuss drowning prevention strategies and exchange programs.
“I just find it really interesting how the different places adapt with the resources they have there,” Erwin said.

SAVING LIVES SINCE 1910
Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) is the leading beach and coastal safety, drowning prevention and rescue authority in Aotearoa. We are truly unique, delivering proactive lifeguarding and essential emergency rescue services, a range of public education beach safety programmes, member education, training and development, as well as a highly respected sport.
We do all this as a charity and rely on the generosity of the public, commercial partners, foundations and trusts for donations and financial contributions in order to lead and support our incredible front-line volunteer lifeguarding services. SLSNZ is the national association representing 74 surf lifesaving clubs with 18,000+ members, including more than 4,500 volunteer Surf Lifeguards. Our lifeguards patrol over 80 locations each summer and provide emergency call-out rescue services throughout Aotearoa, saving hundreds of lives each year and ensuring thousands return home safe after a day at the beach.
Even though our volunteer Surf Lifeguards have kept thousands of people safe on our beaches and saved thousands of lives, New Zealand’s beach and coastal fatal drowning rates have increased over the last 5 years compared to the previous 5 years. We are committed to changing this. Our vision is "no-one drowns on our beaches". It's what drives us and why we are "In It For Life".

Earn your lifeguarding certification from the American Red Cross. Our courses reflect the latest techniques based on science and best practices to ensure that you are properly trained and prepared for emergencies in and around the water.
Courses and Materials
Red Cross training provides participants with flexible training options, improved tools and resources. Our in-person training has a strong focus on practicing the skills needed to prepare, respond and prevent emergencies. Course materials, including a complementary eBook, includes skill videos for lifeguards to review and refresh during and after training.
A variety of Red Cross aquatic courses cover everything from Lifeguarding, Lifeguard Management, to swim lessons and water safety. The curriculum to become a certified lifeguard has been recently updated and developed under the guidance of the American Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council, a group of nationally recognized experts that ensures all information provided offers the latest science and best practices.
Flexible Training: Whether you prefer training in a classroom only in-person environment or the flexibility of blended learning (online courses followed by Instructor-led classes), the Red Cross Lifeguarding Certification is the trusted leader in lifeguard and aquatic training and accepted nationwide.
Courses & Certification
All lifeguarding participants must complete the required swimming skills prerequisite prior to taking the course. The prerequisite skills assessments include a swim-tread-swim and a timed event sequence.
Throughout the course, participants will learn and be evaluated on knowledge and skills related to lifeguarding, water rescues, extrications, CPR and AED and First Aid.
In addition, at the conclusion of the course, participants must successfully complete 3 final skills assessments:
Rotate in-conduct surveillance – rotate out
Timed Single-rescuer CPR Scenario
Multiple Rescuer Response Scenario
Participants are required to take one final written exam consisting of 50 questions and score a minimum of 80%.
Participants who successfully complete the Lifeguarding certification course will be issued one of the following certifications depending on the Lifeguarding course completed. For example, participants that successfully complete the Lifeguarding (including Deep Water) with CPR/AED for Professional Rescuers and First Aid, will be issued a certification valid for 2 years.
