While Voluntary Surf Life Saving is practiced in many countries around the world including America, New Zealand, Germany, South Africa and Ireland, it originated in Australia in 1906.

While originally started to save lives, surf lifesaving has now become a competitive. Beaches throughout the world have lifesavers offering bathers protection on holidays, public holidays and weekends. These volunteers constantly patrol the beaches.

Local government usually hires and pays lifeguards to patrol beaches full time and they offer opportunities for volunteers to help out. First aid, safety advice and rescue services are provided to people at these types of venues such as pools and lakes where people may swim or bathe. This is a much needed and valued service to members of the public.

No serious surfer out there will tell you that they enjoy surfing in a tightly packed spot, yet nonetheless we all tend to exacerbate the matter by obeying certain sheep-like behavior (i.e. the “follow the pack” mentality).
