Surf lifesaving is a community-based service focused on preventing, responding to, and managing emergencies in ocean and beach environments. It involves trained volunteers or professionals who monitor beaches, perform rescues using boats and surfboards, and provide first aid when needed. They also promote water safety awareness and educate the public about how to stay safe in the water. Surf lifesaving combines skills from swimming, rescue techniques, and emergency care to protect beachgoers and ensure a safe environment for all ocean users. It plays a vital role in reducing water-related injuries and fatalities.
