The Bondi Lifeguards are real people. I do not own them or any part of the show. I only own Jasmine, her father and any other characters that I add. Any similarity between my own characters and real people is purely coincidental. I do not know any of the Bondi Lifeguards. This work does not accurately portray their personalities.
This is a work of fiction. I do not wish these events on anyone. This work does not represent the real personalities, thoughts or actions of any of the lifeguards. Medical information, lifeguarding responsibilities and other material may not be accurate. This work is purely a form of entertainment. Opinions expressed in this text may not represent the opinions of the lifeguards, community or myself. This text describes an unrealistic situation. 12 years old is too young to become a lifeguard. Details such as this are a part of the storyline. This story is not supposed to be realistic. It is purely fictional.
This is my first ever fanfiction. I have never shared my writing with a community before and have no experience writing in this style. I have only watched a little of Bondi Rescue. Much of the information in this comes from other Bondi Rescue fanfictions, which I have only recently begun reading. This will probably be quite bad. I am only a very young writer. Please do not make hateful comments. Constructive criticism is welcome. This story will begin with a slow pace, taking several chapters to introduce the characters and main storyline.
As this is my first time posting fanfiction, I do not have a set schedule. Updates may be slow and inconsistent. As I become more comfortable with my writing, I will organise a schedule and inform readers of this. Updates may be slow, but I will continue to write this. If I ever lose interest, I will conclude before I finish this story. I will not discontinue unless circumstances prevent me from continuing. This is my first time posting on Wattpad so formatting may be poor.
This story contains themes of assault, mental illness, child abuse, death/drowning, self-harm, suicide, alcohol/drinking problems, anxiety/panic attacks, PTSD symptoms, injuries, hospitalisation, trauma, sexism and hate speech. If any of these topics make you feel uncomfortable, please do not feel pressured to keep reading. Specific chapters/paragraphs that contain graphic descriptions or are very confronting will have warnings on them. However, many of these topics are present throughout and are a significant part of the storyline, thus are unavoidable. If you identify a triggering topic that I have not provided a warning of, please tell me in the comments or by direct messaging.
I know this is a long author's note, but I felt it was important to say all this. There probably will not be any more long author's notes.
