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

Though less intense, when I was five I was able to swim but I went into a large wave pool back when water parks were popular. I got swept to a point where my feet couldn’t touch and I totally went under. I got up to try to breathe and somehow the lifeguard saw me and booked it to turn off the waves that were stimulated then back to me. He must’ve done all of that within ten seconds, like WOW he had to RUN! I was starting to lose consciousness and I looked at that guy like he was my hero, literally light behind his head, shining, he was the most beautiful person I’d seen in that moment.

@@camilasuarez5775 The force you need to make the heart pump breaks ribs and his were like bird bones. CPR is simply a holding pattern for real help to arrive and more often than not it fails because it’s not effective enough. Even paramedics with the equipment they had couldn’t get a heart beat back and after half an hour with minimal oxygen his brain would have been severely affected. Legally though unless you’re a trained professional that can pronounce time of death you have to keep going. Just over a year before my son died by suicide and although we know he died on October 4th the official date is the sixth as he wasn’t found until then.

Yah know, this show really changed my perspective of lifeguards. I always saw them as teenagers working a summer job, sitting around all day at the beach. This show really changes things. These people are our first line of rescue at the beach. They’re often highly medically trained. Trained in water rescue. I feel bad for undermining that for so long.

Small scale sector searches until coast guard arrived, directly aiding and working with coast guards, and performing dangerous rescues and rendering medical aid. They were the first line of aid for someone who had a cardiac event while on the beach, and someone else who was experiencing heat stroke. Then other aid..Somewhat advanced medical aid at that.

I felt the extraordinary pain here. Unfortunately, I lost my brother to drowning. It was so insanely devastating to me. I was just 8. He was 13. My big brother, me hero, me protector… was gone. He was swept under by an unknown and unexpected undercurrent. He didn’t have a chance. Took hours to find him with aircraft and divers. I felt like I was watching a horror movie unfold. The little town was flooded with media and rescue workers turned recovery workers. I miss my brother. I dream about what he would be like today. What he would be doing. Where he would be. How our family wouldn’t have shattered. The pain these people feel….its the harshest most empty feeling. The lifeguards were distraught trying to get my brother, I saw their pain and they saw mine. I didn’t cry hysterically. However, my tears flowed like a river. I sat alone on the beach. Chaos erupted around me. Somehow I remember so many things about that day and honestly, I wish I could forget. He was in the safe swim zone. They told all swimmers to get out of the water and closed the area because this wasn’t supposed to happen. I was broken that day. I may have healed. But theirs a place in my life, if you look… it’s a void. I feel for this family and those close to them. I know exactly what it’s like. I was in that exact situation all be it just 8. His name IS Charles. He was so smart. Loved tigers and fishing. Was well liked at school. He was the only sibling with blond hair. I’m a red head and most of my family is red head or brown. He was the only blond in the whole family. An infectious smile. Loved sports. Had this odd habit of chewing on his collar of his shirt or chewed other random things out of habit I suppose. I remember he chewed a hole into the door fabric of our car. He would look out the window as we drove along and just inexplicably would chew on the door ledge of the car as we went somewhere. He was tall. Strong. Physically fit. He was my hero. I wanted to be him when I was 8. He was my role model. Stood up for me. Always told me he loves me even though I’m just a pip-squeak and I’ll always be his kid brother. Yeah. Long winded. My name is Lucas. My brothers name IS Charles. UPDATE: I want to thank everyone for their comments. I didn’t expect a reply like what I have seen. I was just remembering my brother in the moment and shared my memory. It warms my heart. Thank you.

What is so scary about this is every other beach goer is totally oblivious to it. Drowning is often times so subtle you would never know. I actually went under at Bondi Beach for a split second and then resurfaced as I am a very good swimmer, I didn't go under willingly, I was pulled under by the surf, believe it or not the lifeguards at Bondi Beach noticed this and asked if I was ok to which I replied with a thumbs up then swam to shore. They really notice the tiniest detail of a person struggling in a beach full of hundreds of people. They are experts at this. It must have been half a second where I went under and then resurfaced! Their attention to detail is actually incredible! They are heroes.

I was caught out in a riptide in Cornwall once and I was struggling to fight it, i was swimming horizontally to try get out and started tiring out I went under briefly and was terrified, i was wanting to wave and shout for help but i couldn't even get enough air/energy to shout and surprisingly i was surround by people with boards right next to me and not a single person noticed. Luckily i just manged to get out the rip and swim back to shore. another minute and i would have probably gone under with nobody noticing till its too late. its suprising how silent and quickly this can happen you'd think u could just scream for help or start splashing but in reality you are so drained its virtually impossible to do so.

"Sometimes we do our best and it's not good enough." You guys do everything that you can and honestly it breaks my heart every single time you guys experience situations that are like this

[@georgina-a]

Totally agree. They did everything possible to give both victims the best possible chance. I do think they need to cut themselves some slack, though. Having been to Bondi, the signs warning people not to swim by the rips are not subtle. The reality is that, if you choose to ignore them (particularly as someone who is not proficient in the water), the rips can be fatal. That's why the signs are there. As sad as situations like this are, people do need to take responsibility for their own actions and swim between the flags. The lifeguards are there as a safety net. It's not fair on them to break the rules and then expect them to get you out before you face the consequences. That's an awful position to put anyone in. Whilst the family have my condolences, they didn't lose one relative (& almost lose another) because the lifeguards "best wasn't good enough". These things happened because those relatives chose to enter a dangerous section of water without the necessary experience and skills to get themselves safely back out.

[@Jenna-gm7zq]

@@georgina-a I also think that they should not be as hard on themselves as they are and honestly I can relate to the lifeguards because of cheer like I try my best and the coaches don't think it's enough

[@georgina-a]

@@Jenna-gm7zq You can only do your best - & your best *IS* good enough. Sometimes people will push you to try harder, or go stronger and further in an effort to get the very best out of you - they don't always mean it negatively. If they still give you positive feedback, constructive criticism, and help you find ways to get better, then they have your best interests at heart. If they just shout and get angry, despite you putting everything you have into it, then that's negativity you don't need. I'm a doctor and the difficult thing for the lifeguards, much like it is for my team at work, is that what we do is much bigger than just us - it has very real consequences for the people in our care and that has a psychological impact that's difficult to understand unless you've been there. It's one thing to lose a trophy, but having to live with the idea that someone has died and you might have been able to save them? That's the most gut-wrenching feeling imaginable, and the heaviest burden to carry. It's why many leave medicine, the emergency services & why many popular figures have left Bondi Rescue - because the pressure on your mental health can become too much to handle. If you ever feel like your coaches are putting you under too much pressure, remember that (in the grand scheme of things) it's not a life or death situation like the emergency services deal with on a daily basis - it's a sport and it's supposed to be fun. If it starts to feel more than that, then it's probably worth talking to your coaches. I would hope that, if they realise the effect they're having on you, they'll change their strategy. Good luck 🍀

Sadly, the emergency services, medical staff, and the military have to regularly deal with gut-wrenching situations like that in the video. One way we deal with this is to debrief - we talk things through with someone we can trust (a family member, friend, or a colleague when it's a more sensitive situation). It helps a lot and is a great skill to learn. It might help you, too, with your cheer issue and, if you learn it now, if you're ever faced with a scenario like that in the video (God forbid), then you'll be better prepared to deal with it.

I was in the water and saw a guy get into some trouble, however the lifeguards were further back on the beach and didn’t see it happening. My dad was with me and saw this happen (he used to be a lifeguard). My dad swam out to help him and when he got to hime he had no floatation device to help him hold the guy above the water. When my dad got to the guy, the guy passed out. My dad then held him above water whilst being smashed by waves for 5 minutes with no floatation device (mind you my dad is like 45). When the lifeguards eventually got to them they brought the patient in and started cpr because he had no pulse. After 30 minutes of compressions eventually they got a weak pulse and he went to hospital. I stood and watched the whole thing and I’ve never felt so useless. Unfortunately the patient ended up dying later in hospital because his brain wouldn’t function properly anymore. It was truly tragic and I warn everyone to stay safe around the ocean.

[@shedshed6317]

Just a reminder though, you should never try and save someone unless you know that you are a very strong swimmer.

My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. I'm so so sorry for your loss. To the Bondi lifeguards you are all amazing and thank you so much for everything you do.

[@mayteckearl3179]

They all lost a fellowship human being that they felt responsible for saving but couldn’t save them both. It’s an extreme feeling of helplessness, even when you tried your very best. Your heart in is the right place. Thank you for caring and loving what you do. You make for profession very proud!!!

seeing her sister crying broke my heart

[@aprilleann9245]

I think others would agree, that this was the hardest BondiRescue to watch yet. Seeing the family, the lifeless bodies and the lifeguards doing everything in their power to save two human lives, feeling helpless I'm sure, really got me. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victim who passed away, the victim who survived, their families and the entire rescue team, I can't imagine doing that job. May God bless them all and lay his calming and healing hands upon them ✝️🙏😭

Your best is ALWAYS good enough guys Because of you a lady lived Yes one man died but it was his time You did your utmost to save him and risked your own lives to do it God bless you always ♥️🙏🏻♥️

Lifeguards and the family are in my prayers. I don’t even think some people realize how many times I have watched this video. Seeing the hard working lifeguards cry make me so upset. I know that they put their lives in the line, and I’m so grateful for them. The lifeguards crying doesn’t show a sign of weakness, but a sign oh sympathy, and it’s amazing how they do amazing work. The families are in my prayers as they still may be struggling with the death of a lost one, as well as the lifeguards doing an amazing job daily. Also the fact that Chappo lended a hang when his mates needed it was truly amazing. God love them. ❤️

I've been a first responder for well over a decade. I feel for these families, but I also feel for the lifeguards and paramedics who responded. This type of thing takes a toll on you and can weigh heavily on your heart no matter how many times you've seen it happen. I empathize with all of these men, but especially with Jethro. You can feel so helpless having to watch and wait as everything plays out in front of you. Great work boys, stay safe.

Bondi Rescue have inspired me to do my NPLQ. I am one session into my course and I loved every moment of today. Being a lifeguard is such a physically demanding job and it takes mental and physical strength. I love the lads at Bondi and I want to thank them for inspiring me to do my lifeguard course and I hope one day to save people as much as the lads down at Bondi do

[@sumersong400]

Well done 👏 for doing the course. Be blessed by your dedication and physically hard work.

Incredible, those men risked their lives and did everything they could. That's someone that cares and I'm so happy to see that in this day and time. Condolences to the family. And thank you for what y'all
