Swim between the flags. Know your limits. That is the message from the Taylors Mistake and Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubs as temperatures soar this week. It comes after two people were lucky not to have died in separate incidents at Taylors Mistake on Sunday, <strong>January</strong> 17. Instead they were saved by the quick thinking of the club team members. Tisha Bradley The first rescue happend in the early afternoon, with the conditions changing drastically as the tide went out. The second rescue happened at 4.50pm, with 10min left until the volunteers usually retire for the day. In both instances, the swimmers were taken to hospital by ambulance. After the rescues, the lifeguards carried out preventative actions; moving the flags, advising swimmers of where the rips were running and working in the water to direct people away. Surf club captain Tisha Bradley said: “These actions mitigated the risk of mishap and the need for further rescues. “We are hugely proud of the work of the rostered patrol team on Sunday, as well as the additional members who recognised the growing risks on the beach and joined with the existing patrol to ensure that we had an increased capacity. “This was a wonderful example of the club coming together as one to keep our community safe. We are a humble wee club, but in these moments we are super proud of how our volunteers respond in difficult situations.” The club would also like to thank the public who acknowledged their efforts on Sunday. “It means a lot to us when the community acknowledges our volunteers and the valuable work that they do,” said Bradley. Meanwhile, Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was awarded second place in the BP Rescue of the Month awards for a rescue in December. Twenty-seven swimmers were rescued from a rip in 10 minutes. The winners are selected by the national lifesaving VIGILANT: Taylors Mistake Surf Lifesaving Club volunteers keep watch over swimmers.

Further water restrictions WATER restrictions have been increased from level 2 to level 3 for Akaroa, Duvauchelle and Takamatua as increasingly hot and windy conditions put pressure on water supplies. Level 3 restrictions means hand-held hosing only on alternate days, with no outdoor water use on any day between 3-9pm. Unattended hoses, sprinklers, and garden irrigation systems are not permitted at any time. Akaroa’s cumulative rainfall this year is the lowest it has been in a decade, putting extra pressure on the town’s water supply which it shares with Takamatua. Its current total rainfall for the year sits at about half the 10-year average. Water is being used from backup bores and from streams. “But in order to ensure a fair and uninterrupted water supply to people living, working and visiting in the areas, we need to further reduce the demand by moving to Level 3 water restrictions,” a city council spokeswoman said. Residents at odd-numbered addresses can water lawns or gardens before 3pm or after 9pm on odd dates (1st, 3rd, 15th, etc), while residents at even-numbered addresses can water before 3pm or after 9pm on even dates.

Stand upright with your feet together. 2. Draw your right knee up towards your chest and lightly hold your right knee with your right hand. Use the strength of your leg more than the strength of your hand to hold your right leg up. If you are more flexible, bind the outer edge of your right foot and extend your right leg straight forward in front of you. 3. Straighten your left leg by engaging your thigh muscles to the bone. 4. Draw the pit of your belly in towards your spine. 5. Expand your chest and upper back. 6. If you are holding your foot, draw your right shoulder straight back level with your left shoulder. 7. Straighten your back, hold your head high and set your gaze straight in front of you. 8. After 5 breaths, turn your right leg out towards the right side of your room and turn your head to face the left. 9. Keep your hips level in this second stage. Do not hike your right hip higher than your left hip. 10. After five more breaths return your right leg straight forward, lower your right foot to the earth and repeat the pose on the other leg. In Standing Leg Raise, build a blend of strength and mobility in your legs, align your body neutrally and generate a sense of confidence that permeates from your bones and radiates out to your skin and beyond.
