Three days of hot weather, challenging surf and large crowds at our beaches has resulted in the busiest starts to a new year in recent memory, as Surf Life Saving NSW lifeguards and volunteer lifesavers were faced with a record number of incidents, rescues and preventative actions up and down the coastline.

A second consecutive exceptionally busy day for Surf Life Saving NSW volunteer lifesavers and lifeguards has resulted in one fatality, a successful resuscitation and several high category serious incidents registered across the state.

A drowning fatality at Warriewood and successful rescues and resuscitations at North Palm Beach and Cronulla were among a spate of serious incidents up and down the NSW coastline which ensured a difficult start to the new year for lifeguards and volunteer lifesavers.
