Bondi Rescue 8-1

The North Bondi Classic Swim attracts over a thousand swimmers to Bondi. Trainee lifeguard Blake hits the water for his first rescue attempt and a thief is caught red handed.

Lifeguards get a brutal reminder of the ocean's power when one of their own breaks his neck in a tragic surfing accident south of Sydney and must be airlifted to hospital.

The world's most famous lifeguard, David 'The Hoff' Hasselhoff comes to Bondi, redirecting swimmers into the flags, driving the jetski and even performing a simulated rescue.
