What's the survey about?

Are you, or have you ever been, an ocean lifeguard or surf lifesaver? If so, you are invited to participate in a survey about your knowledge and experiences of rip currents and rip current rescues. The survey is part of a study by the University of New South Wales, supported by the Australian Research Council and Surf Life Saving Australia. While the focus is on Australian lifeguards, it is open to any lifeguards in other countries. The results will be used to improve rip current education and awareness programs, and will hopefully help to save lives in the future.

The survey is divided into 4 parts: Part A - General questions; Part B - Questions about your rip current knowledge; Part C - Questions about your rip current rescue experiences; and Part D - Questions about rip current education.

You must be 18 or older to complete this survey.

Your participation in this survey will be kept strictly confidential.
