“Never take your eyes off the water, as the minute you do, you will get caught with your pants down!”
Lifeguarding for: 14 years
Local Beach: Bronte
What drew you to lifeguarding? My love of the ocean.
One thing you wouldn’t know about me… I snore really loud!
What’s the funniest thing that you’ve seen on the beach?Yatesy crashing the jet ski into the ATV on the sand while beaching it and snapping the rescue board that was on the ATV in half.
What’s the most intense rescue you’ve been a part of? Any rescue that involves bringing someone back to life. The one that really stands out the most was in Bali when Reidy and I worked on a patient in the back of a Beamo all the way to the hospital, it was crazy.
What do you think are the most important characteristics of a lifeguard? Having good concentration skills, being able to make decisions on your feet and of course, having a really good knowledge of the ocean.
If you had one piece of advice for someone wanting to swim at bondi, what would it be? Always swim between the flags and don’t take risks.
A situation can turn from fun-and-games to life-and-death in a heartbeat. Does this keep your adrenaline rushing all the time? For sure, things always seem to happen when you least expect it.
