In this video, George, an international student and his friend Johnny learn:

  • Never swim alone
  • Watch out for currents
  • Always swim between the red and yellow flags where surf lifesavers patrol the beach.

Think Before You Swim was produced in collaboration with Life Saving Victoria.

George is the star of the Think Before You Travel animation.
