(October 9th, 2008)



Beach rescue force of Badung Regency invites five Australian instructors to improve skill of beach rescue guards of Kuta Beach. “Three professional instructors from Surf Life Surfing have arrived and another two is expected to come a bit later to share their skill and experience in beach safety”, said the coordinator of beach rescue force of Badung Regency, I Made Suparka.
He further told that the three trainers which have already arrived are David Rosu, Loyle, and Monica. Training will take two weeks starting on October 15th. 82 beach rescue guards from larger and smaller hotels along Kuta beach and from other Indonesian provinces will participate in the training. Suparka also explained that instructors from Surf Life Surfing of Australia have conducted continuous training both upon invitation as well as on their holiday in Bali. In addition to training, Australian beach rescue force has also given assistance in supporting equipment for rescue operation to those swept away by tidal wave of Kuta beach. In addition to Australian instructors, a number of related instructors from Bali will also give away their skill and experience, which is very important for regeneration. Similar training attended by 110 participants has also been conducted last year, which in addition to those stationed in Badung and Denpasar areas, also those from other Indonesian provinces.

After attending the training participants are expected to be able to give better rescue operation to those having accident on the beach where they are stationed. Clustered into small groups the training will cover both theoretical backgroud as well as hands on practical sessions.Many of beach rescue guards are volunteers who have their own permanent job and come to join the force in their spare time especially during holidays when more tourists are spending their time on the beach. “There are many volunteers help beach rescue force especially on long holidays including when Bali was flooded with domestic tourists during the last Lebaran holiday”, said Suparka. source : http://www.villarentalbali.com/

Bali has too many good beaches but very few lifeguards or at least trained rescue teams to watch over the locals and tourists sprawled on the beach. This was my concern when I visited last year with my family. We stayed at one of those gorgeous bali villas for rent where we felt very safe, but when out on beach in the late afternoons, I couldn't help but worry about my kids going into the water because of lack of lifeguards. I'm glad I caught this article. Seeing that rescue guards are now more competent in Kuta, there's no reason we wouldn't want to go back. Thanks!
