Today we went down to the beach for a beach trip. We had Edi, Ruth, Mania, and Ambar from Surf Life Saving. They came from Raglin and even England to be surf lifesavers over here in New Zealand.
The first thing we did was learn about the dissimulator and where it goes because it is different for kids and different for adults. On an adult, u would place the pads on the right side of the heart and below the heart so the electric pulse through the heart and betting again at a normal pace.
They taught us about the rips and the different parts of the rip like the start where the water is pulling from the shallows of the rip and is taking us out to the back of the head of the rip which is behind the breakers. The middle bit is the strongest which pulls you all the way out fast. The annoying thing is that you have to swim all the way in again.
We finally got out of all the education stuff and we went into the water. We were split up into two groups I was in a group that did tube rescues and the other group did bogey boarding. We had to choose a duo and then we had one friend come to rescue you, we did that for a little while then we swapped over and then we went to do some bogey boarding.
