Lots of pontification here. I'm Bronze Medalian qualified in surf rescue in Australia. You can argue all you like about how it was done, but at the end of the day the swimmer was resued....a good outcome in the end. Could procedures be better, could allocation of resources be better.....sure. There's always lessons that can be learned and improvements made. It's easy to sit in front of a computer screen and say they should have done this and that, and shouldn't have done XYZ, but when you are in the midst of a rescue, you don't have the luxury of analysing the situation, you just do it. It's heartening to see people puting themselves in harms way to help a complete stranger. Maybe civil society hasn't completely collapsed like we tend to think of america from afar. Many of the surf resue techniques where developed on the beaches of Australia, especially the world famous Bondi beach.

The Bondi TV show is all recreations, right? I've been a certified surf lifeguard in NJ, USA for 23 years, mom is a WSI lifeguard instructor, and a ocean guard since the early 70s. Some of the rescues featured on the show are scary bad, and I don't understand it. Some of the rescues featured there would get a rookie fired here. Those guys are supposed to be the gold standard....I'm betting it's just the TV edits, but I'm interested in your opinion. PS I agree with what you said about this rescue. If there was lifeguards present, I probably wouldn't hesitate to get in the water, knowing backup is coming...but I've had experience with a drowning person grabbing me... you just have to know how to handle it...plus I'm a relatively big guy...one of the hardest lessons we learned was it's better to throw an elbow and rescue a stunned person then to have two victims.

@@scottreich1207 i can assure you, the video in Bondi rescue is real, as it happens. It's a bunch of guys running around with cameras filming what happens as it happens (and they frequently get in the way). There is no acting, scripts, recreations etc. I was a member of Wanda Surf Life Saving Club (at Cronulla - where the riots were 15 years ago). We frequently went to Bondi as fill-ins and for training. BTW, all the life savers are volunteers, theres only 1 oe 2 per shift who are employed by the local council full time.

@duartelapa9027 5 ай бұрын

I agree with you but I also have to point out something. I've been surfing competitively for the last 12 years and also been a lifeguard for the last 5 years in one of the mos dangerous beaches in Portugal (for those who don't know, we have the biggest waves in the world so yeah, the other beaches are not that safer too). The guy who jumped in the water did an amazing job, while always being at rick, he kept at float with her head out of the water and her back towards him, surprisingly good technic. But the life guards are another story. None of them were able to remain well balanced on the board nor put any of the victims on the board how it should be done. And if the jetski would've take any longer they would've been sucked out to the ocean. I've never been to Haulover Inlet but I've worked with some people who has and always told me that at least where we work is far far worst current than that, and we don't have the luxury of having a jetski so quick to get us so yeah, for me no excuse for bad physical condition or training. The other thing that really bothered me was the guys on the jetski special the on in the back. Being just seated one the back towards the sled with a victim there is so bad, you should be in the sled with her, and actually when you get tou a victim you also should've been in the sled too pull her out quickly, so yeah, once again, seems like bad training. At the end of the day nobody died and everyone was safe but errors need to be pointed out in a constructive way. But yeah, nice job every one. Stay safe.

I live in San Diego and we have had problems with Sunset Cliffs for years. It's a popular spot for the youth (I know I did my fair share of romping around), but people ignore the signs all the time and get to the close to the edge of the cliffs. The cliffs are unstable, and prone to giving away without warning taking whomever is around with it for a 60 foot ride to the bottom of the cliffs. Depending on the tide there may or may not be water beneath you, but there are dozens of underwater caves and there is sometimes a strong surge, so even if there is water you are probably still in trouble. You can't fix stupid.

They still call me occasionally to thank me. Storms were rolling in ,they lost their boat a mile of shore, and I was the only one out there jumping waves on my ski when I saw bobbing heads. They got a new lease on life, they were about done when I pulled up. Good thing is , I now get free hair cuts for life, they all are salon workers, just out partying that day.

Rescue swimming isn't that difficult unless the sea conditions are really bad and there are hazards in the water. I've never had to cut anyone loose, though there were a couple who looked pretty wild eyed. If you're calm and confident, most people will just give up and let you take over.

If you get stuck in rough water, float on your back and keep more air in your lungs. Use your legs to swim to safety, like a frog uses its hinds to swim. This is the most efficient and least exhausting way to stay afloat and cover ground. If you are in a current, don't fight it, use it to get around and back in further down the stream.

@mb56436 5 ай бұрын

TRUTH! So many people just don't think about keeping your lungs full of air! THAT is the key to NOT drowning!

@OMGWTFLOLSMH 5 ай бұрын

Yes, rolling onto your back and keeping your lungs full is good advice. You don't exhaust yourself that way, although I've never practiced it in large swells like these, so maybe it's not as practical.

@brrjohnson8131 4 ай бұрын

Sounds practical but, nearly impossible in a rip tide. Ocean waves crashing over your head & floating on your back don't coincide. I was caught once, in a rip tide. I wound up a mile & half down the beach from my start point. Floating on my back was the first thing I attempted to save energy & hoped the lifeguard would notice. But they didn't & neither did my husband. (I was missing for over an hour) btw, I was lifeguard & even taught swimming lessons. Swim to the side, to stay alive. (Parallel to the beach)

@Mike1984-lc9rh 4 ай бұрын

@@brrjohnson8131 That's exactly what I suggested: don't fight the current, get around and come back in further down. I call BS. If you would have been a certified lifeguard at that time, you wouldn't experiment with floating and you would have known about the rip current, how to avoid it, and how to get out of it much faster. Also, the sand banks that cause rip currents are just 5 to 40 yards apart, they don't carry you out for a mile plus!

@brrjohnson8131 4 ай бұрын

@@Mike1984-lc9rh do you understand English? I said I _was_ a lifeguard & swim instructor, not "am" not "currently", WAS. I was not in the gulf. The Atlantic has a steep shelf & you can't walk into the water 30' (less at some beaches) without being over your head. Maybe a big fat guy has enough buoyancy to float on your back in a rip tide. People float differently in a calm pool, depending on body mass & weight. I'm not interested in proving my past to anyone. Enjoy your day.

There's a beach on the Columbia just outside Portland, OR. Its clothing optional, so its a healthy walk to get to. Features of the river are dependent on how much water Bonneville Dam is letting through. There's sometimes a peninsula and sometimes an island when you get out there. The little slough between the island and the main river bank can be surprisingly treacherous. I was out the one day standing next to it talking to this guy and his wife. Next thing you know, his wife disappears. I asked if she could swim - he said No - I said Shit. And exgaled as I took a wide side step so as not to land on her. Sure enough, met he halfway down. The way the current had cut the channel that day, the side we we on dropped off like a cliff just inches from where we'd been standing, and the bottom was about 40'. She had stepped into the water and surprised by the depth, had gone down without a sound. Her husband had no idea of the hazard and would have still been looking for where she'd wandered off to until it was far too late. Hell, I wouldn't have thought she'd gone under that quickly and soundlessly had I not stepped off into it earlier myself. I hauled her up by hair mostly, she coughed and sputtered a bit but was fine. That stretch of river was often squirrely, but that day it seemed like it was laying in wait.

It's very dangerous to try resue someone like this without a buoyancy aid. They will cling on to you in a panic and bring you both down. I would always try get a life buoy first. Thankfully she was able to thread water but I reckon her energy was depleting fast. Threading in such choppy water with/without clothes on would sap your energy real quick. If the good samaritan jumped in 2mins later, she may have been more desperate and took both of them down.

As to lifeguarding/training, no I never worked ocean. Mountain beaches, but my knowledge of Chemistry kept me inside at College, keeping the Olympic pools all bright and sparkly. Knew a guy all full of himself for being an ocean-beach lifeguard, challenged him to go for whitewater rescue with me. We both washed out. Don't go bragging about being a lifeguard around me, unless you're whitewater certified, those guys and gals are seriously tough. I have one whitewater rescue under my belt, which I'd brag about except I had to be rescued and resuscitated, myself, after. Brown's Canyon, Arkansas River. Surf rescues? Cake. Especially if the water's warm. Cold whitewater, it's a struggle just to breathe, even without trying to rescue someone. Those are the only lifeguards get bragging rights, IMO.

That day I almost died saving someone else's life in Brown's Canyon, was no joke. Two people died upriver that day. Two other guards saved my (off-duty) life. I was rafting for my Brother's bachelor party, drunk as a skunk. I got rescued a mile downstream from where I went in, but by the time I got her to shore, I was done. Spent. Nothing left. Too absolutely wasted to even say a prayer for myself!

U know what happened is they filled in the beach with sand. There used to be kind of a "wave pool" u shape at the end of the rocks that protected the swimmers now it does not exist. Its REALLY dangerous on incoming tide over there now. I have seen many people being swept out since they have done this including today.
