Episode 1Feb 6, 2006 · 25mIt's the start of summer and the lifeguards are trying out for a job on the busiest beach in the world. Two and a half million people will visit Bondi over the next few months - up to 50,000 people on any one-day. The season gets off to a dramatic start as race riots on nearby Cronulla Beach threaten to spill over to Bondi. A shark scare only adds to the drama. For a while the beach is bizarrely quiet, then all hell breaks loose when nineteen year-old Natalie suddenly collapses in the water for no apparent reason. Her rescue and hospitalisation is a major incident on Bondi.(Summary from Ten.com.au - Permission granted)Episode 2Feb 13, 2006 · 25mIt's Christmas Day and the swell sends shivers up the back of the Lifeguards as they set up the beach in the morning. They know that tourists, alcohol and surf are a dangerous mix. With at least 10,000 overseas travellers due on the beach the Lifeguards expect to be flat out rescuing revellers who will have been drinking since mid-morning. Irish tourist Michelle is more than a little embarrassed when chief lifeguard Hoppo rescues her from the water.
Meanwhile a teenager has broken his arm in the nearby skate ramp. Getting him out proves a difficult problem.(Summary from Ten.com.au - Permission granted)Episode 3Feb 20, 2006 · 25mFew parties get bigger than the New Year�s Eve dance party at Bondi as over 5,000 revellers dance in the New Year until 6 am. The Lifeguards are flat out on New Years Day as they attend drug and alcohol affected partygoers on the beach. An ecstacy overdose and a surfer�s severely dislocated shoulder are among the most serious cases. To make matters worse Bondi experiences one of the hottest days on record as the thermometer hovers above 45 degrees and everyone wilts in the heat. A line of ambulances are called down to the beach. But the heat doesn�t stop the thieves?(Summary from Ten.com.au - Permission granted)Episode 4Feb 27, 2006 · 25mJapanese language student Takahiro Ono is found lifeless in the water on a surprisingly calm day. With no breath and no pulse a frantic resuscitation effort begins as lifeguards come to his rescue. Finally a defibrillator shocks him back to life. Ten minutes after the incident Taka is fully conscious. But no one yet knows what caused the emergency in the first place. On Australia Day the crowds come to celebrate on the sand, but one group of revellers find themselves drifting towards New Zealand on blow-up animals.

Tensions run deep between old-hand Corey and young Turk Reidy as they go head-to-head in the water. Surprisingly, for such a handsome group of men, many of the lifeguards are single. They all decide to head off to a speed dating session to try their luck - with hilarious results. Meanwhile doctors discover that Takahiro Ono suffered a heart attack in the water and didn�t drown as some suspected. When lifeguards visit him in hospital he becomes very emotional.(Summary from Ten.com.au - Permission granted)Episode 6Mar 13, 2006 · 25mThere�s a big swell heading for Bondi and the fearsome rips will be working overtime. But what�s dangerous for mere mortals is a playground for the elite watermen as they take to the water on their rescue boards at the start of the day. A morning of fun turns out to be the busiest day of summer with thirty-five rescues conducted in a frantic five-minute period. If the big swell isn�t dangerous enough the wind has washed in thousands of bluebottles. The beaches are under attack as tourists scream in pain from the many stings. Then there are the perverts on the sand to contend with?(Summary from Ten.com.au - Permission granted)
