One cool thing my elementary school did with water safety was that they found a small permanent rip on a local beach and had us go in one by one with a life guard to teach us what a rip is and how to get out of one.
Woah! My primary had an annual “surf awareness’’ day where we went to bondi and had some lifeguards teach us about rips,blue bottles and even some fun facts! Those times were fun!
Cheers Jethro, we all know you're this goofy guy. But lets not forget you save lives in between the jokes and pranks. Def. appriciate the way your dad taught you at an early age, kuddos to your dad, guess it's the Aussie way.
Hello there, I live in Cornwall UK you guy's come from Oz to save our tourists every year, ( along side our own lifeguards of course ) Just a big thank you, you all do a grand job ☺ 🇬🇧
I love how Jeff spoke about his dad, that would be such a good lesson! Whenever I go to Australia now I know what to do and what to look for, so thanks Jeff (and Bondi 💙)
I’m glad someone is actually teaching how to stay safe at the beach I live in California by LA but all the beaches I know don’t even raise flags and the towers have very distracted lifeguards especially when my cousin and I almost got bit by a small sand shark that was bumping into multiple swimmers even trying to rub them. Others told the lifegaurds at the tower yet they said of he’s harmless they never described it so when we did they told us no one allowed in the water and we found out it was a small medium sized great white I’m scared to even think i swam in the water now I find it hard to trust beaches...
A friend and I nearly died in a rip tide in Brazil. He wasn't as far out as me, but luckily I have quite a bit of experience swimming and know how to manage breathing and floating between large waves. I used the perpendicular technique he mentioned, going at a slight angle back towards the shore. I was so exhausted by the time I got back and was some distance from my friends back on the shore. I was determined to get back to my at-the-time fiance(now wife).

Once I got stuck in a current with my little cousin and we got to a spot where she couldn’t touch but I got her and then she got mad at me for picking her up lol.
About 6 years ago, I got caught in a rip current in West Palm Beach. This was my first time I was ever in a rip current and I was SO lucky that I had been running for a while. I was an idiot and kept fighting the current and got gassed, fast. Finally after I was about 100 yards off shore, I started to swim parallel to shore and was able to get out of it. By the time I got back to shore, I couldn't walk. I got pounded into the shore by a large wave and it was actually a good feeling. I crawled up the rest of the shore and sat there for a while a little dazed at what had happened before I started to walk back to where my friend was laying on the beach sunbathing. It was terrifying.
That is MASSIVELY HELPFULL! When i will go on Vacation either by myself, with family and/or friend's it's good to share such important info's that could be life saving one day! Thank's for this enlightenment Video! Love Bondi Rescue, even have a Hoodie from you Guy's!
I was stuck in a current; My dad noticed me floating away to the deep, he grabbed me then he got stuck in it. He say to grab him and he swam us back and we survived.
Hello, I live in Cornwall UK you guy's come from Oz to save our tourists every year ( alongside our own lifeguards of course,) You all do a grand job so thank you ☺ 🇬🇧
Just out of curiosity- how many die from panic versus dieing from the actual rip current itself? I've been caught in a few and it seems to me the biggest rule is don't panic. But naturally I float just standing in the water so I imagine that helps.
Well when people who don't know about rips get caught in a rip, they either don't know how to swim and find themselves carried out to deep water, or they panic and try to swim back to shore against the rip and exhaust themselves. Either way they end up drowning.
@@BondiRescue Thanks, mate! Much love and appreciation to you all. I am learning how to walk after 95 days in hospital with 3 back surgeries and a hip surgery. You ALL inspire me and ease my pain significantly. Such awesome personalities, each and every one of you!! 🤙
@@Jenna-gm7zq thank you, Jenna! 😊 I have good days and bad. I make the most of the good days and enjoy Bondi videos when I'm feeling down. They help to distract me from the pain. Cheers and thank you for the well wishes! 😁✌😎
Jethro is such a sweet young man . If he ever comes to Britain or the Republic of Ireland 🇨🇮🇬🇧 my family and I would welcome him especially during peak surfing months because my son's and grandchildren still scare the wits out of me . Bit cold 😷☘️ freezing here on the coast .
this was great, thanks for teaching us! you explained it really simply, even if you did get paralled and perpendicular mixed up 😅 you're a really cool guy Jethro and of course an awesome lifeguard💪🌊❤
We've got rips in Lake Ontario as well, not as dramatic as ocean ones but one wrong step in the deeper water you'll be taking the express to Canada lol
There really doesn’t even need to be any waves at all for rips to be dangerous. The busiest rescue days for us in Florida are when the waves are small but the rips are pulling. People will spend so much energy swimming against the rip and panicking that they will drown in what is essentially a lazy river in the ocean
Dont they eventually bring you back around, its just a matter of how far out that turn back to shore is? And if you can kinda float/keep your head up to wait it out?
@@samiamisme The rips will not bring you back to shore, but they will slack off at some point behind the surf zone. Unless there is big surf, a competent swimmer can either swim sideways out of the channel to a sandbar or just relax and wait until the rip brings them out and releases them, then do the same thing. The most important thing is not to panic.
Been swimming for years. I grew up on the water. I'm not sure if it's just me but rip currents don't be affecting me. Ride it out. Put your hand up and float. Don't fight the current. Let it take you. Dive into the waves. Once you get out past the waves the rip current usually ends so follow the current till it stops and slowly make your way in
I thought I was an extremely strong swimmer, as my mom was a lifeguard and I did swim team my whole life. I live in an area where the water isn’t very rough, so I had never been caught in a rip. But only a few years ago there was a rip on the shore that completely knocked me over and dragged me a meter and a half or so. I had been told you swim perpendicular, and so I did. I got out of it easily, as I then realized that, I could stand up. I was fine, the water was only about 2ft high but it was funny that I didn’t realize I could stand up lol
I know I am really late but would like to know, in the Pacifi Ocean how do you spot a RIP in dark waters? Is it the same in clear waters like the Atlantic ocean?
Bondi rescue helped me save my Aunt when she was in danger in a beach with lifeguards that never went in water so I just scooped het out thankfully she didn't drank any water and she was fine thanks for the Vids!
Hey just saying a few days ago in goa me and my friends went into a rive and the current was really stong at one point one of my friends they went to a even stronger current and they almost like got dragged away from us but the oldest managed to get him so yeah and we all got quite bad cuts.. Yeah I also got dragged from the same current
Where I live the local because don’t usually have life guards and there are definitely rip currents, it’s just common knowledge to swim to the side of you feel like your being pulled away in a current. Still, I’d rather be able to spot a rip and avoid it.
They should put the dangerous current signs closer to the water. Best would be if they were in the water so you see them when you enter, when transitioning from one environment to another is when people is most open to new information about their surroundings. Ten meters up on the sand people will just ignore them, since they know there are no dangerous currents on the sand.
thing is the tide means the waterline varies and the sandbanks can shift. Plus if you get knocked over by a wave you don't want a solid signpost in your way
One cool thing my elementary school did with water safety was that they found a small permanent rip on a local beach and had us go in one by one with a life guard to teach us what a rip is and how to get out of one.
Woah! My primary had an annual “surf awareness’’ day where we went to bondi and had some lifeguards teach us about rips,blue bottles and even some fun facts! Those times were fun!
Where do you live?
Perpendicular is with a 90 degree angle of the rip. So to the left or to the right if the rip takes you downwards
Typical jethro
Cheers Jethro, we all know you're this goofy guy. But lets not forget you save lives in between the jokes and pranks. Def. appriciate the way your dad taught you at an early age, kuddos to your dad, guess it's the Aussie way.

Wow, I’m really sorry to hear that the lifeguards weren’t receptive to this situation. Thank you for sharing!
Wo, that must have been scary!
I hope someone explained the difference between parallel and perpendicular 🤣
Parallel = ll
Perpendicular = +

He wasn't as far out as me, but luckily I have quite a bit of experience swimming and know how to manage breathing and floating between large waves.

Jethro gives one big tip to save someone from rip and he gets "parallel" vs. "perpendicular" wrong 😂
He did show perpendicular correctly with his hands but just used the wrong word

Flash rip: When the water decides it it’s just gonna dip out now😂😂 I love that
you gotta change that to perpendicular you never know who is listening without watching
I loved this video! 😍

i died everytime that little correction *perpendicular* pops up 😂.
awesome dude!
I’m a amazing swimmer, and know so much about safety in the ocean. I really want to go to bondi beach but I live SC so it will be pricey
I love how he explains stuff. And great tips!
I’m buying your merch I love you
I learned how to swim faster and better by watching bondi rescue
As a Michigander our rips are nothing compared to Bondi. Have massive respect for all that help
I hail from Bridgman. 4 miles north of Warren Dunes. Cheers!
Sadly though, they can still be deadly.
We've got rips in Lake Ontario as well, not as dramatic as ocean ones but one wrong step in the deeper water you'll be taking the express to Canada lol
That was informative and entertaining at the same time. Well done Jethro! Enjoyed your style and humor!

HIS HAIR IS AWESOME
You are amazing 🤩
if i ever visit bondi i am sticking to the zones what ever the guards say is what i will do they know best
Question: while being caught by rip current, would it be good method to dive, and to swim back the shore under the waves?
Love you Jethro
Oh my lanta I love this man
Watching this a day after my fathers supervisor drowned because of a rip in Puerto Rico. Absolutely unfortunate

Not first
please make more videos about teaching us all these stuff bondi rescue fans want to be lifeguards am I right😆
I don’t love sharks at all they just make more R.I.P!!!
Hi bondi I love your beach I am trying to get my mom to let go to your beach but I am in the uae
Handy for me, I'm a beginning surfer
C you’re so amazing
Does anybody realize a change In Jethros voice😈
...and don't become panic if you got in one, because then you forget what you learnt from Jethro
Could you do a pictorial? Or show us real vid examples of wrong way vs right way? Thank you!
I watch all safety videos
My dad always told me to go perpendicular to the rip
Does anybody else just want to run a comb through jethro’s hair
