Here's some of her info on a profile/question thingy! :P

Adrien Denison

Nickname: Adi, Deni, Aiden (don't ask lol :XD:)

Age: 23

Birthday: August 1st 1984

Starsign: Leo

Height: 5'9 (178cm)

How long have you been a lifeguard? 'Bout 8 Years now

Have you always wanted to be a lifeguard? I've always wanted to be in the water i think i first wanted to be a Diver then i wanted to be a lifeguard after meeting Kerrbox when i was younger

Where did you work before Bondi, and what made you chose Bondi? I used to take people out on the Ski's (JetSki) and Boats down near Tama and Bronte

What's the funniest thing that you've seen on the beach? Alot of things! One of the best was at when one of the boys Rescued a guy from England on the Ski (Jet Ski) and the guys Shorts came off in the water so he had to put them on when he got out.

What's the most intense rescue you've been a part of? Some guy on a Ski (JetSki) slammed into a surfer, it was me and Whippet who had to get him out of the water and there was just blood everywhere, it was more gore-ist than intense but i was terrified this guy was going to die on us because of all the blood he was losing, it was freaky!

What advice do you have for anyone wanting to become a lifeguard? Have confidence in the water and develop amazing surfing and swimming skills

Have you ever been scared for your life? Yeah! I was rescuing someone on the rescue board towards the back near the impact zone (Where the waves crash for surfers before they become mini waves to surf on lol) and a Surfer started shouting 'SHARK! SHARK!', i was so scared andabotgu 3 of the lifeguards including me where stuck out at the back on the boards, the Ski had to come and get the patients then come back and get us.

What's the greatest lesson you've learnt while being a lifeguard? Patience is a Virtue! It's easy to get impatient when you can't get back to the beach on a rescue or if a beach goer is a complete jerk you have to keep your patience and you head cause either way you'll be doomed into hell for the next half hour!

What do you think are the most important characteristics of a lifeguard? Quick Thinker, Good People Skills, able to have a joke easily

What's the hardest part about your job? I find most of my job easy (now it'll get harder now i've said that!) but i think trying to manage everyone when I'm the senior lifeguard on that day is HARD!

A situation can turn from fun-and-games to life-and-death in a heartbeat. Does this keep your adrenaline rushing all the time? It does, sometimes the adreneline is pumping that much yoru hard pounds really hard and fast so you have to sit down and take a breath cause you think you're having a heart attack.


What's it like when there is an emergency? We try to help as much as we can, most of the time it goes right but when it doesn't it's devastating. Some of the younger ones (me included sometimes) get really excited and sometimesgo OTT so that's when people like Deano and Harris step in and shove them out the way cause we can do more harm than good so having people like those two around in an emergency is always handy!

What kind of dumb things do you see people doing? The main ones are drinking then swimming and also Parents leaving their kids alone

Have you ever had to revive anyone? Many times.

If you had one piece of advice for someone wanting to swim at Bondi, what would it be? Put your hand in the air if you think you're drowning!

Is lifeguarding the only way you keep fit? I eat heavily but i do eat alot of junk food too, also i surf alot and go runnng quite often too, just doing my job keeps me fit

What was your first rescue like? Terrifying for me and my rescue-ee, we got caught in the impact zone but i got us out safely, the other 15 rescues went smoothly that day!

What do you do during the non-summer period? Are you still patrolling the beach or do you have another job? I'm a full time lifeguard so i patrol all year round

Do the cameras put more pressure on you while you're performing a rescue? I never really bothered with them to begin with, because some of my friends love filming when we're out i've just grown use to a camera staring at the side of my head

Have men ever claimed to be in danger, just to have a handsome lifeguard save them? Yes! some even go as far as wanting mouth-to-mouth, Dean deal with that situation, i think they get the message, some have tried it a fews times after though!

Bondi Rescue (c) Gys at Channel ten i guess! :D

I really like the moment you where able to capture here; If attempted this there would be a 1 out 3 chance that I'd jab my pencil through the wall.
