Before Bondi Rescue began, lifeguarding was considered a narrow field of expertise involving iron men and women retrieving unwary swimmers from dangerous surf. Over the past three seasons, audiences have witnessed lifeguards on Bondi catch thieves, treat heart attacks, make drug busts, break up fights, and even deal with a navy bomb which washed ashore late one afternoon.

Now the original beach rescue series is back for a fourth season and Bondi lifeguards like Reidy, Maxy, Whippet, Deano and Hoppo are faced with a new array of challenges unlike they’ve experienced before.
