* Listening Listening on P67 Task 1 Discuss with a partner what is happening in each of the photographs below. Surf lifesaving clubs are popular all over Australia. They were originally formed to provide a rescue service for swimmers who get into danger on beaches. The clubs are voluntary organizations whose members patrol the beaches for free. As well as carrying out lifeguard duties, Background information the clubs hold many social events and competitions related to the beach and swimming. Children between 7 and 15 can join as junior members, called nippers. The club provides activities for junior members at weekends and in the holidays. They receive training in lifesaving as well as taking part in healthy exercise at the beach. As much of Australia’s coastline can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers, surf lifesavers determine the safest place for people to swim and place flags on the beach to show people where it is safe. Bathers are encouraged to “swim between the flags”. Businesses and the community in general raise money or donate equipment such as boats and canoes, sun shelters, lifesaving equipment and flags. On weekends, when the volunteer lifesavers are at work, some town councils pay lifeguards to patrol the most popular beaches. Several times during the summer, surf lifesaving clubs hold carnivals at which they display their lifesaving skills and hold competitions between different clubs. Each club has a different uniform, consisting of a swimming costume and a T-shirt. Lifesavers also wear caps in their club colors so that they can be easily identified when they are in the water.
