Calm, chaotic, compellingly unpredictable.
00:07
No, not just me. Our oceans too.
00:12
For over 100 years, Surf Lifesavers have patrolled our beaches,
00:18
from humble beginnings to over 300 clubs across the nation.
00:23
The iconic red and yellow flags show us where it's safe to swim
00:28
and where it isn't.
00:31
Did you know Australia has over 50,000 kilometres of coastline?
00:37
Despite performing thousands of rescues each and every year,
00:41
Surf Lifesavers can't be everywhere all the time.
00:46
Sadly, too many people still drown.
00:50
So what can you do this summer?
00:52
Firstly, stop before you go into the water.
00:57
Look for the red and yellow flags, or for signs like these.
01:02
Then assess the conditions based on your own abilities.
01:06
If you're unsure, don't swim.
01:09
Make sure you stay alive this summer.
01:13
To help us out, Surf Lifesavers created the Beach Passport.
01:18
It's free and it has tips to help keep us safe.
01:22
So let's give these legends a hand.
01:25
Make sure, before you go into the water, stop, look and stay alive!
