Rip safety video 2023 Bondi Beach, Sydney Australia

It has been the worst summer in NSW for drownings and over 90 people across Australia have lost their lives. I created this video to bring awareness to rip safety, Please watch and share and I hope you learn a thing or two please do not swim in Rips this is for educational purposes, always Swim Between the red & yellow flags 🟥🟨 In this video I talk and demonstrate on how to
- Spot rips
- How rips work
- Remain calm do not panic
- Asses the situation
- Determine which way you are moving in the rip
- How rips move in all different shapes and sizes
- What to do if you get stuck in a rip
- Different floating techniques
- Fight or flight
- Rescuers drown too always use a floatation device
- If you are strong swimmer you can aim for the waves either side and the energy and momentum will take you back to shore.
- Always swim at patrolled beaches
- How far rips actually take you out to sea
- How far you drift from the original location
I hope everyone takes something away from this to raise awareness and life skill tips to help you not only save your own life but help others too ❤️ a big thank you to Ben King for filming and bringing this to life #rescue #lifeguardmaxi #educate #watersafety #lifeguard #lifeguarding #rip #current #surf #beach #water #waves #bondi #bondibeach #sydney #australia #livelearnsurvive #beach #maxisrescuesquad #learn #onlinelearning #swim #drowningprevention #pool
