Description

Lifeguard Bruce Hoppo Hopkins, from Bondi Rescue, shares crucial water safety tips. He advocates for energy-efficient floating techniques to survive dangerous situations. Hoppo, with 33 years of experience, explains that traditional back-floating isnt always best and can lead to exhaustion. He promotes the Float to Survive Australia campaign, teaching various floating methods like treading water or breaststroking on your stomach. Hoppo emphasizes that everyone can float, as our lungs hold four liters of oxygen. He urges people to learn these skills, especially in inland areas where drownings are more common.
