Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Club

On Sunday 4 October, a young Milnerton junior lifeguard was instrumental in preventing a young woman from drowning in the surf.

Nathan, 14 years old, qualified as junior lifeguard in June 2026 and has yet to do his first voluntary duty. Yet, when Nathan spotted a woman in distress in crashing waves about 75 m off - shore while out surfing at Milnerton Beach, he did not hesitate to rush to her assistance.

He paddled over to where she was struggling in the surf and managed to secure her on his surfboard to keep her afloat while reassuring her that the lifeguards will be there soon. Soon after, a professional lifeguard on duty, who noticed the woman drifting out to sea, paddled out on a board to take the patient from Nathan and returned her to shore.

If it was not for Nathan's quick, instinctive reaction, a sunny day out could have ended in tragedy for this young woman. We salute you for your quick action that saved a life🩵

🟥🟨Rescue by Milnerton Lifeguard Kate Rautenbach at Bintang Bali Resort, Kuta, Bali.
On Wednesday 8 July at around 13H30, barely 24 hours after arriving in Bali for a family holiday, Milnerton Surf Lifesaving Club lifeguard Kate Rautenbach was relaxing poolside with her dad when she heard splashing and a panicked yelp. She spotted an adult male struggling in the deep side of the pool, about 10 meters away. Kate immediately jumped off the lounger and dove right into the water. She reached the 30+ year old male swimmer in no time and managed to grab him and keep him afloat until the pool lifeguard arrived with a flotation device. Together they guided him to the edge of the pool.
The father had lost his pool noodle in the shallows and followed it to the deep side (1.7m) where he was suddenly out of his depth and struggling to stay above the water.

We commend Kate for her vigilance and quick response to the distressed swimmer. Her instinctive response based on years of experience as a lifeguard at Milnerton Beach averted a tragedy and gave a father back to his family.
