- Now the sun is back, Bondi starts a new summer season. 35 lifeguards meet, old and new, including Blake (a city-boy age 18!), to bond during a refresher course to the great joy of a female audience. Real rescues start almost immediately- Blake does well. There is a real but short big (hammer?) shark alarm, reported by a clubbie (non-professional life-guard). Blake also handles a 'frivolous' problem: two studs skinny-dipping.
- Just before the summer season starts for real, the veterans intensively train the recruits, including Blake who struggles with diving in Greg's team. The bathers enjoy a hot Christmas, but toasting with (banned) alcohol often bodes trouble. More routine rescues: Reidy cheerfully saves Asians tourists, twice in half an hour. The boys celebrate with bears afterward. Next Reidy faces his last fear: surfing huge waves, ably coached by Hoppo but lacking confidence.
- The Roosters NRL team go surfing with the lifeguards, but tragedy strikes when one of the players runs over Yatesy on a rescue board, breaking his ribs and puncturing his lung.
- Tragedy comes to Bondi when a Chinese backpacker is left in a coma after a late evening swim. Lifeguards are rattled by the after-hours tragedy.
- Lifeguards are confronted by an inconsolable mother suffering heatstroke who has lost her 3-year-old child. Later, Tommy and Harrison treat hundreds of people suffering bluebottle stings.
- An American tourist needs CPR after being pulled unconscious from the ocean in calm waters.
- The lifeguards take the beach buggy into the streets as they chase down an aggressive beachgoer wielding a knife.
- With a record 234 rescues performed in Bondi on one day, Australia's prettiest playground can quickly become a nightmare for tourists not used to the precarious surf conditions.
- Trainee Lachie will also find out if he has made a big enough impression on Hoppo and the team to earn him a permanent spot on the Bondi lifeguard squad.
- Jethro is faced with the most challenging rescue of his career and the Lifeguards suddenly become the ones in danger when the 4WD buggy is swamped by waves.
- In the throes of massive swell and unpredictable weather, the Bondi lifeguards push each other to their limits in the annual lifeguard challenge.
- The tower is on high alert when a swimmer's quick dip results in a possible spinal injury and the lifeguards farewell a much-loved member of the squad.
- The lifeguards are still coming to terms with the worst tragedy on Bondi Beach in decades when Singlets attempts his first rescue since the incident. Plus, why is Hoppo telling kids to swim in a rip?
- With the school holiday starting the season, the beach is inundates with Aussie school kids, audacious but without experience: countless cocky would-be heroes get hurt or need rescuing from drowning. A British pool lifeguard also needs the Bondi professionals. The posts at Bondi were decided by grueling tests, three months earlier. Blake did well, but the newest and youngest recruit ever, Trent 'Maxi' Maxwell, is an even stronger candidate. However both are held back in a four days a week training program. Christmas is crazy, some girls even try to strip off Hoppo's trunks!
- A hot New Year's Eve in Sidney, droves come to Bondi for a dive, intoxicated and elated. Even mooners are tolerated now, but it's rescues non-stop while the tide is traitorous. So ten life-guards are on duty, even Kerrbox with a foot in plaster. Two surfers fall badly with serious neck/spinal injury risks. Even the boys's own jet-ski breaks down, turning it into a hazard itself, but Troy brings it in safely.
- It's an exceptional day: the sun lures the crowd but the stormy sea causes them to run risks, so it's injury care and rescues on the double. Perfect surf weather always means major crashes with rocks, each-other, swimmers, even a near-swallowing by a cave. Panic can turn a rescue into a life-guard nightmare. The boys' jet-ski training pays of now, but when the vehicle capsizes it becomes a major hazard itself. Finally a beach volleyball match against India's national cricket team.
- Bondi Beach welcomes a six weeks temporary recruit: Kyle Pao, from Oahu (a Hawaiian island), where the surf is higher but the crown and number of rescues far smaller. He does well in hazing and a physical tests, even though Maxie clearly outshines him. He's impressed by the Bondi workload, but shows zeal and promise. The boys happily catch a trio of juvenile pick-pockets.
- Many Bondi life-guards are top athletes, most got their first training as kids, all go out of their way to help kick-start the next and nipper generations of potential recruits. Eager Blake and Maxie do extra training together. A cocky beach drug possession suspect resists arrest. Next lost little Justin trusts only Maxie while and a storm approaches until his dad turns up with kid brother.
