Episode 4 - Sam Harwood

This week, it’s October half term and we head to Fistral Beach to meet Sam Harwood – a lifeguard from Newquay. As Sam explains, autumn and winter can be just as busy on the beaches as the summer, so many RNLI lifeguards are still on duty all around the UK and Channel Islands to keep people safe. In this episode, Sam shares the lesser known benefits of lifeguarding – from being able to travel and work on beaches abroad, to using it as a way to meet new friends.

Plus, he shares the story of the day he saved a life, as the Fistral Beach lifeguards helped rescued 16 people from a flash rip current in the sea last year.
