GEORGE NEWSFLASH AND VIDEO - Vacationers planning to enjoy cheerful summer afternoons at the Herold's Bay beach will be able to safely enjoy every moment in the waves, knowing the lifeguards are alert and equipped for anything that may go wrong. 

In preparation for the upcoming season, current Herold's Bay lifeguards participated in a test on Saturday 4 November at the Herold's Bay beach to determine their ability to be capable lifeguards. 

Each lifeguard had to complete the test in less than 10 minutes to remain serving on the lifeguard team.

Lifeguard instructor Irene Newell, who facilitated the test, said she is confident that the lifeguards will deliver and be alert during the holidays. 

"We are ready to save lives and prevent fatal incidents from occurring during the festive season."
