“…it’s the best job in the world!“
Lifeguarding for: 4 years
Local beach: Bondi
Have you always wanted to be a lifeguard? Hell yeah, it’s the best job in the world.
Where did you work before Bondi, and what made you choose Bondi? I used to work at Cube Projects. Chose Bondi because it’s my ‘local’ beach, where else would you want to be?
What do you think are the most important characteristics of a lifeguard? Energy, enthusiasm, patience, knowledge and composure.
What’s the hardest part about your job? Keeping focused throughout the whole shift.
A situation can turn from fun-and-games to life-and-death in a heartbeat. Does this keep your adrenaline ushing all the time? I love doing rescues. Not only are you saving someones life but the adrenaline rush when you’re paddling out is intense.
If you had one piece of advice for someone wanting to swim at Bondi what would it be? Swim between the flags and swim fast so sharks don’t get you!
