Bondi Rescue

On Australia Day the crowds come to celebrate on the sand, but one group of revellers find themselves drifting towards New Zealand on blow-up animals.

The lifeguards have an opportunity to show what they're made of in the Lifeguard Challenge - a mid-season competition to prove who's the fittest and fastest among the elite watermen.

There's a big swell heading for Bondi and the fearsome rips will be working overtime. But what's dangerous for mere mortals is a playground for the elite watermen.
