Our Surf Life Safety Talk!


Jake & Josh, Two guys who are lifesavers! No really!! They work at Red Beach saving the lives of many swimmers. Today they came into Tomarata School to tell us about their job and how rewarding it is to save someones life.
Some of the rules they told us about safely swimming at the beach were:
  • Never swim alone
  • Swim between the flags
  • Learn to identify a rip
  • Use the right swimming equipment
  • Never swim when tired or cold

They also dressed a student in a lifeguard uniform and she had to pretend to save another student from a rip! We had so much fun having them here and we hope they will return to our school in the future.
