Synopsis
Your Life in Their Hands! The men and women of the 110 Lifeguard Clubs will be patrolling Britain's beaches this summer and preventing holidays turning into tragedies. Last year alone more than 2,000 people were saved from drowning in resorts as far afield as Barn-staple and East Kilbride. The teams are manned by volunteers and the youngest cadets are 13 years old. Simon joins the boys and girls from Poole and Bournemouth who will be competing in the National Lifeguard Championships later this year, and gets thrown in at the deep end with the torpedo buoy relay race.
