elyse (22yrs) is the only female lifeguard at bondi beach. she's a committed and dedicated lifeguard and proves to the whole team that not only she can be a lifeguard, but all women can do it. she's been a part of the team for one season already and is back for another one after moving from new zealand. elyse used to rent an apartment during her first season but finally bought her own apartment after living with deano for the winter season. she's become close with a few lifeguards, and has been dating maxi (24yrs) since the end of her first season. two new trainees are joining this season and are becoming closer and closer to elyse... will they cause trouble between her and maxi? or does she just need to concentrate on being the best female lifeguard?
