Lifesavers on standby as new jet skis help protect our beaches
Wednesday, 3 January 2024
Volunteer lifesavers and lifeguards are reminding people to take care on our waterways and swim at patrolled locations, with more than 646 rescues conducted since Christmas eve.
Since the start of the patrol season in September, Surf Life Saving NSW volunteers have conducted 1,360 rescues, with almost half (646) of those since 24 December 2023 during the busy holiday period.
As people head to coastal waterways over the warmer months, the NSW Government is also urging people to practice water safety like swimming at patrolled beaches and between the flags.
