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