Windang - Surf Lifesaving Illawarra S...upport Operation Crew on a Jetski (RWC) noticed a private Jetski , capsize by a wave near the entrance at Windang break wall throwing 3 people into the water. The lifesaver on the Jetski quickly rescued 2 persons from the water and returned them to shore safely, before returning to the 3rd person whom was able to roll the Jetski over and restart. 2. Bulli beach - Future lifesavers in training for their Bronze Medallion, witness an unfolding drama with a male calling for help after been caught in a rip current, 150 metres from the flagged area. The male was rescued on a rescue board and returned to waiting lifesavers on the beach before first aid and oxygen therapy was administered. NSW Ambulance was called and treated the person. 3. Bulli beach - A few minutes later another drama was unfolding with a female caught in another rip current, at the southern end of Bulli beach which was also an unpatrolled location. A member of the public assisted the female prior to responding lifesaver on a Jetski (RWC) and lifesavers from Woonona & Bulli SLSC’s on ATV’s. Other assets including Surf Life Illawarra Duty Officer and Wollongong Council Lifeguard Supervisor attended the incident.
