For those of you who see this who aren't Aussies, this is the immediately recognizable #SurfLifeSaving flag

Today was a classic #Beach Day 😎

When going to an ocean beach, it's very important to go somewhere where you can "swim between the flags", ie where there are surf life savers to keep an eye on swimmers

@GrumpyPenguin They do such wonderful work to help us all

@BrownSquirrel

They do!

I went up to them because I noticed that someone who had entered the water near us was no longer visible.

But they knew exactly where the swimmer was!

(He was very fast! And was waaay down the shoreline by that time. But the life guards had kept tabs on him 👍 )
