LIFEGUARDS PREPARE FOR NEW SEASON
Challenging coastal conditions in Port Macquarie put Mid North Coast lifeguards through their paces, at their annual induction day.
Around 30 lifeguards had their skills and fitness put to the test, in preparation for the 2016/17 season.
“The lifeguards start off with a timed pool swim, so it’s 800 metres in under 14 minutes and then we move down to the beach where they’re put through a mission which is a barrel paddle, another swim and a run, and the boat rescues and tube rescues follow that as well.”
It was also an opportunity for lifeguards to familiarise themselves with new equipment.
