Surf Life Saving - Vigilance & Service
Jan 21, 2015, 03:50 PM
With 57 lifeguarded beaches along its 400 miles of coastline Cornwall is an extremely popular holiday destination bringing nearly 5 million visitors to the county every year. The sheer number of people visiting the coastal areas makes keeping the visitors safe in and around the sea a mammoth task. Cornwall plays host to 24 Surf Life-Saving clubs who volunteer their time to train people how to save lives on the beaches and in the water.
Ben Fairclough takes you back to his old surf life-saving club to shine a light on some of the most dedicated life savers in the county.
