When holidaymaker Joanna got into difficulty and lost consciousness in the sea, her life was in danger. Thanks to his RNLI training, lifeguard Matty knew what to do – and sprinted to the rescue.
The beach is an unpredictable place. RNLI lifeguards have been helping to keep beaches safer since 2001. But what makes a good lifeguard? It’s not just about fitness – and the training they receive is key. Nobody knows this better than Joanna, who reveals how a holiday dip in the sea turned into a battle for survival …
In the first episode of WE ARE LIFEGUARDS: Saving Lives on the Beach With the RNLI, hear from the people who train lifeguards, the lifeguards patrolling the beaches and the people whose lives they’ve saved.
