'This is a 999 emergency. So buckle up and get ready for action.'

0:00:020:00:07

Today, on Hero Squad -

0:00:070:00:09

'this CBBC series will push

0:00:090:00:12

'six children to their limits as they join forces

0:00:120:00:15

'with the real emergency services,'

0:00:150:00:17

facing the worst nature can throw at them.

0:00:170:00:20

'Tackling amazing challenges on land, sea, and in the air.

0:00:200:00:24

'It's time to find out if a group of kids can handle

0:00:240:00:27

'the pressure of being emergency lifesavers.'

0:00:270:00:31

I'm Rav Wilding and this is Hero Squad.

0:00:310:00:35

Six ordinary school kids.

0:00:370:00:39

Their mission - to learn how to save lives.

0:00:410:00:44

But do they have what it takes to become real-life heroes?

0:00:470:00:51

Meet our rookie cadets,

0:00:590:01:00

handpicked by CBBC from all over the UK.

0:01:000:01:04

12-year-old Alex from Staffordshire.

0:01:100:01:12

I'm really excited about Hero Squad.

0:01:140:01:16

I think it's going to be epic, life-changing and so, so fun.

0:01:160:01:21

13-year-old Kiera from Essex.

0:01:210:01:24

My dad's a fireman and my mum's a paramedic

0:01:240:01:27

so I've heard all their stories, so I just want to do it now.

0:01:270:01:30

13-year-old Lewis from Edinburgh.

0:01:300:01:34

When I first found out I was on Hero Squad,

0:01:340:01:36

I just ran around the kitchen going, "Wah!"

0:01:360:01:40

I can't believe I'm on it!

0:01:400:01:42

12-year-old Luci from County Armagh.

0:01:420:01:46

I want to be a hero because I love helping people.

0:01:460:01:49

12-year-old Andy from Stoke.

0:01:490:01:52

I'd make a good hero because I'd make people laugh.

0:01:520:01:55

And finally, 12-year-old Katy from Derbyshire.

0:01:550:01:58

Well, even if anything looks a bit too tough,

0:01:590:02:02

I'll keep going and I won't stop until I've overcome it.

0:02:020:02:04

Six ordinary kids, but the time for ordinary is over.

0:02:040:02:09

These cadets will face ten challenges as they work with

0:02:150:02:18

the brave people who make up our emergency services.

0:02:180:02:22

They'll train with firefighters in Salford,

0:02:220:02:25

go underground with cave rescue experts,

0:02:250:02:28

and even work with four-legged lifesavers in Devon.

0:02:280:02:32

Find!

0:02:320:02:33

But every year in the UK,

0:02:330:02:36

thousands of rescues take place not on land, but at sea.

0:02:360:02:40

So the training starts here at the RNLI headquarters in Poole.

0:02:400:02:46

Good morning, cadets!

0:02:470:02:49

The cadets have come together for the first time

0:02:490:02:51

and have no idea what to expect.

0:02:510:02:54

Now, over next few weeks, you'll be doing things

0:02:550:02:59

that no youngsters of your age have ever done before.

0:02:590:03:02

It's OK at times if you're scared,

0:03:020:03:04

but it's not OK if you don't give 100% and help each other.

0:03:040:03:09

So who's excited and ready to go?

0:03:090:03:11

ALL: Me!

0:03:110:03:12

That's it! So what are you waiting for then?

0:03:120:03:15

Let's get the uniforms on and get out!

0:03:150:03:17

Each cadet gets their own Hero Squad uniform.

0:03:210:03:24

Pressed, dressed and ready for action.

0:03:300:03:32

Time for the Hero Squad's first mission -

0:03:320:03:35

sea rescue, with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

0:03:350:03:40

Since it was set up in 1824,

0:03:430:03:46

the RNLI have saved nearly 140,000 lives,

0:03:460:03:51

and their courageous volunteer crews are on call 24/7.

0:03:510:03:54

Every day, RNLI lifeboat crews go out in all weathers,

0:03:560:04:00

rescuing people in danger around the UK coastline.

0:04:000:04:03

In just two days, these six cadets must transform themselves

0:04:060:04:10

into an all-weather lifeboat crew,

0:04:100:04:13

for an extraordinary Hero Squad challenge.

0:04:130:04:15

A man's fallen overboard, and is stranded at sea.

0:04:160:04:19

The Hero Squad must get him to safety

0:04:190:04:22

before he gets dangerously cold.

0:04:220:04:24

But before that, they've got a lot to learn

0:04:270:04:29

and here's the man who's going to teach them.

0:04:290:04:32

-Good morning, cadets.

-ALL: Good morning.

0:04:360:04:39

My name is Glen Mallen and I'm going to be your mentor.

0:04:390:04:42

Mentor Glen has spent 20 years with the RNLI.

0:04:430:04:46

He trains volunteers to deal with the toughest sea rescues

0:04:460:04:50

any time of the day or night.

0:04:500:04:53

We're going to issue you your own pager,

0:04:550:04:57

and if it makes a noise or vibrates or goes off,

0:04:570:05:00

I want you to report to the kit room as soon as possible.

0:05:000:05:03

Let's go and get kitted up.

0:05:030:05:05

Just like a real RNLI all-weather lifeboat crew,

0:05:080:05:12

the cadets are wearing boots, trousers, jackets and life-jackets.

0:05:120:05:16

They'll need the protection,

0:05:170:05:19

because Glen's sending them straight in at the deep end

0:05:190:05:22

of one of the UK's biggest sea survival pools,

0:05:220:05:27

where lifeboat crews train to stay on peak lifesaving form.

0:05:270:05:30

Eyes up.

0:05:310:05:32

Olly? Ready to jump?

0:05:320:05:35

Before the cadets are let loose on the lifeboats,

0:05:350:05:38

Glen has to make sure they can survive

0:05:380:05:40

the same dreadful sea conditions

0:05:400:05:42

as the people they're trying to rescue.

0:05:420:05:44

First task, how do you get off a sinking boat safely?

0:05:440:05:48

-Jump!

-Like this.

0:05:480:05:50

It's a four-metre-high jump.

0:05:530:05:55

Glen's never allowed any 12 or 13-year-olds to do this before.

0:05:550:06:00

Mentor Glen will be choosing one cadet to lead the others

0:06:060:06:08

in a Hero Squad rescue tomorrow.

0:06:080:06:10

They each need to impress him.

0:06:100:06:13

If they're scared, they can pull out at any time.

0:06:130:06:16

I'm a bit nervous. But it looks good.

0:06:180:06:20

I'm going to enjoy it.

0:06:200:06:21

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm a bit nervous as well.

0:06:210:06:24

I'm really excited!

0:06:240:06:26

-It's that time. Are you ready for jumps?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

0:06:260:06:29

Good. So who's up first?

0:06:290:06:31

Kiera volunteers.

0:06:310:06:33

Out of all the cadets, she's the strongest swimmer.

0:06:330:06:37

Three, two, one, jump!

0:06:370:06:39

Excellent!

0:06:390:06:40

A great landing. Next, it's keen Scout Alex.

0:06:420:06:45

Then football fanatic Katy.

0:06:470:06:49

Hang on, I think she's dropped something!

0:06:490:06:52

Andy, Luci and Lewis are still to go.

0:06:520:06:55

Come on, Lewis! Straight in. Well done!

0:06:550:06:57

Next, it's Luci's turn.

0:07:000:07:02

Step forward.

0:07:020:07:03

Last, it's computer game-loving Andy,

0:07:070:07:09

and his nerves are showing. Glen thinks he could do

0:07:090:07:12

with some encouragement from the rest of the Hero Squad.

0:07:120:07:15

-Give him some support then, guys!

-CADETS CHEER

0:07:150:07:18

Come on, Andy! Here we go.

0:07:180:07:22

And he reassures him it's not too late to back out.

0:07:220:07:26

In three, two, one...jump.

0:07:260:07:30

He's done it,

0:07:370:07:38

joining the other five cadets in the survival pool.

0:07:380:07:42

A fantastic effort from those six cadets. Unbelievable.

0:07:440:07:47

First time we've had children into that pool.

0:07:470:07:49

Every one of them jumped.

0:07:490:07:52

Lifeboat crews are all about teamwork.

0:07:560:07:58

The Hero Squad cadets have only been

0:07:580:08:00

in each other's company for a couple of hours,

0:08:000:08:03

but they're going to have to work together

0:08:030:08:05

to survive Glen's next section of training.

0:08:050:08:09

Waves on.

0:08:090:08:11

First, he's going to re-create some seriously choppy sea conditions.

0:08:110:08:16

We're ready for the waves!

0:08:160:08:19

The waves in the survival pool can swell up to a metre-and-a-half high,

0:08:220:08:27

and our cadets must swim 25 metres through the waves

0:08:270:08:31

to the other end of the pool.

0:08:310:08:33

But 12-year-old Katy is more at home

0:08:330:08:35

on a football pitch than in the water.

0:08:350:08:37

I panic a tiny bit when I'm, like, underwater.

0:08:370:08:42

I wouldn't say I'm the strongest ever swimmer, but I can swim enough

0:08:420:08:45

to, er, stay alive.

0:08:450:08:47

Let's see if Katy can put her fears to one side.

0:08:470:08:50

OK, guys? Off you go!

0:08:510:08:55

'Confident swimmer and junior triathlete Kiera's way ahead,

0:08:580:09:02

'but Katy's struggling.'

0:09:020:09:05

-Katy looks a bit nervous.

-She's definitely looking around.

0:09:050:09:08

-A little bit nervous.

-Absolutely.

0:09:080:09:10

'No matter how hard she tries, Katy's getting nowhere.

0:09:100:09:15

'She's so far behind, she can't even see the other cadets.

0:09:150:09:18

She needs support from the rest of her team.'

0:09:180:09:22

They're all helping her out now, that's nice.

0:09:220:09:24

'Remember, Glen wants to see teamwork,

0:09:250:09:29

'the cadets helping each other. In a real survival situation,

0:09:290:09:32

'a person's life could depend on it.'

0:09:320:09:35

Come on, Katy!

0:09:360:09:38

'She looks exhausted. But crucially,

0:09:380:09:40

'Katy's not giving up and she's battling on.'

0:09:400:09:43

Alex is reaching out as far as he can to get her in.

0:09:430:09:46

Look at him. And he's got her!

0:09:460:09:49

Well done!

0:09:490:09:51

-What a team effort.

-Well done, cadets! Brilliant effort!

0:09:510:09:54

'A few hours ago, the cadets were complete strangers.

0:09:540:09:58

'Now they're helping each other through tough sea survival training.

0:09:580:10:02

'But it's not over yet.

0:10:020:10:05

'The cadets need to learn how to use one of these, a life raft.

0:10:060:10:11

'Every lifeboat carries one, in case the crew have to abandon ship

0:10:120:10:17

'and keep themselves and any rescued passengers safe.

0:10:170:10:21

'But getting in is just the easy bit!'

0:10:230:10:26

All right? OK?

0:10:260:10:29

Nice deep breaths.

0:10:290:10:32

'In you go, Lewis!'

0:10:320:10:33

Are you all right?

0:10:330:10:36

'Not the most graceful entrance, Luci!'

0:10:360:10:39

-A face plant!

-That was a face plant!

0:10:390:10:41

Come on, Andy!

0:10:410:10:43

'Andy's last, helped in by the other cadets!

0:10:430:10:47

'Just like a real-life situation,

0:10:500:10:53

'the cadets must now wait in the life raft to be rescued.

0:10:530:10:56

'They have no idea how long that could take.

0:10:570:11:00

'And mentor Glen has created the worst possible sea conditions -

0:11:000:11:06

'rain, wind and darkness.

0:11:060:11:10

'All the helpless cadets can do now is wait.

0:11:130:11:16

'Inside the cramped life raft,

0:11:160:11:18

'they're singing to keep their minds off the conditions.'

0:11:180:11:22

# ..Round and round Round and round

0:11:220:11:25

# Round and round... #

0:11:250:11:27

'12-year-old Luci's doing her best to keep everyone's spirits up.

0:11:270:11:31

'Back home in County Armagh, Luci goes swimming every week,

0:11:330:11:37

'and she's not scared of deep water.'

0:11:370:11:39

I love swimming,

0:11:390:11:41

because when you're in the pool, it makes you feel very energetic.

0:11:410:11:45

'But she did once have a bad experience at sea.'

0:11:450:11:49

We were out in the boat one day

0:11:490:11:52

with my dad, and then the weather all of a sudden changed.

0:11:520:11:56

It was quite scary with the waves really high,

0:11:560:11:59

and it was raining as well.

0:11:590:12:01

Well, if Luci's scared now, she's certainly not showing it.

0:12:020:12:06

THUNDER ROLLS

0:12:090:12:11

But Lewis looks terrified,

0:12:110:12:13

and Katy and Kiera seem to be struggling

0:12:130:12:15

with the motion of the ocean.

0:12:150:12:17

They've just got to hang on and wait to be rescued.

0:12:200:12:22

-Let's get them out.

-Let's do it.

0:12:300:12:33

In a real-life rescue, a helicopter might be the only way

0:12:340:12:37

to get stranded survivors out quickly and safely.

0:12:370:12:41

So Glen and his team are recreating

0:12:410:12:43

an air-sea rescue for the cadets,

0:12:430:12:45

right here in the survival pool.

0:12:450:12:48

It's down to the winchman to carry them to safety.

0:12:510:12:54

The cadets are winched out one by one

0:12:580:13:00

until there are just two cadets left in the life raft,

0:13:000:13:04

where conditions are increasingly unpleasant.

0:13:040:13:07

Luci can see Alex has had enough.

0:13:090:13:11

So she offers to let him go first.

0:13:150:13:17

Luci leaves the raft, only after making sure everyone else is safe.

0:13:210:13:26

I was going to go fifth but then someone else wanted to go before me

0:13:280:13:32

so I let everyone else go and then I got off.

0:13:320:13:35

Even fully qualified lifeboat crews can struggle with this training,

0:13:380:13:43

and our cadets have spent a whole 40 minutes on board the life raft!

0:13:430:13:48

Some found the task tougher than others.

0:13:480:13:52

Horrible.

0:13:520:13:54

I felt sick in the boat. It was horrible.

0:13:540:13:57

I was a bit scared when the water was going over my head,

0:13:570:13:59

but I'm quite pleased I've done it now.

0:13:590:14:02

Glen's impressed.

0:14:020:14:04

The team spirit and the crew that you created between you

0:14:040:14:07

was really top notch.

0:14:070:14:09

You should be very proud of yourselves.

0:14:090:14:11

In less than 24 hours, the cadets will have to crew up their own

0:14:170:14:21

all-weather lifeboat in a rescue miles out at sea.

0:14:210:14:24

There's a Hero Squad emergency when a sailor falls overboard.

0:14:270:14:30

The dangerous sea currents mean he's in serious trouble.

0:14:300:14:34

To find him, the cadets are going to need to prove they've got all

0:14:340:14:38

the necessary Hero Squad skills.

0:14:380:14:40

But first, time to get on board their very own all-weather lifeboat.

0:14:400:14:46

-Shall we go?

-Yeah.

-Let's go.

0:14:460:14:48

Costing over £2 million and weighing more than 40 tonnes,

0:14:480:14:53

this is the biggest lifeboat in the RNLI fleet.

0:14:530:14:57

It takes a highly-trained crew who know what they're doing

0:14:570:15:01

to handle an impressive boat like this.

0:15:010:15:03

So the cadets need to crack on with their rescue training.

0:15:030:15:07

Because so many RNLI rescues involve people adrift at sea

0:15:070:15:11

it's essential for the cadets to know

0:15:110:15:12

how to get a casualty safely onto the lifeboat using the hoist.

0:15:120:15:17

After getting him attached

0:15:170:15:20

and working together like a tug of war team...

0:15:200:15:22

-Heave!

-All pulling together!

-Heave!

0:15:220:15:26

..they give a few good heaves

0:15:260:15:28

and he's out of the water and safely on board.

0:15:280:15:32

It's the end of training.

0:15:370:15:39

The cadets went straight in the deep end.

0:15:390:15:41

They overcame fears, pulled together as a team...

0:15:440:15:49

THEY CHEER

0:15:500:15:52

..and helped each other through some stomach-churning sea conditions.

0:15:520:15:56

You've stopped singing, have you?

0:15:560:15:58

Tomorrow, the cadets will face their very first Hero Squad rescue.

0:15:580:16:04

For every challenge they face, one of them will be

0:16:040:16:06

chosen to be the squad leader by their mentor.

0:16:060:16:09

For their first rescue,

0:16:110:16:13

they'll need a strong character who will keep the others on track.

0:16:130:16:17

Glen has a tough decision to make.

0:16:230:16:25

All of the cadets have put in excellent performances.

0:16:250:16:29

But there can only be one squad leader,

0:16:310:16:33

and one cadet in particular stood out today.

0:16:330:16:36

From inside the life raft we heard that one person in particular

0:16:360:16:40

kept that team going, and when everyone else was starting to flag

0:16:400:16:43

slightly, continued singing right to the end.

0:16:430:16:46

So the squad leader is Luci.

0:16:460:16:49

I'm really excited about being squad leader. It's a big responsibility.

0:16:540:16:58

The next morning the cadets are on call.

0:17:060:17:08

Glen's left them to their own devices.

0:17:080:17:12

They don't know it yet, but two miles from shore

0:17:150:17:19

a couple of yachtsmen are about to get into serious trouble.

0:17:190:17:23

The engine has blown. There's instant panic

0:17:250:17:28

and one of the crew falls overboard.

0:17:280:17:31

Whilst the water might look calm, there's a strong undertow

0:17:320:17:36

that quickly separates the Hero Squad casualty from his boat.

0:17:360:17:40

With no engine, his friend is powerless to help.

0:17:400:17:44

He puts in an emergency call to the coastguard,

0:17:440:17:46

-who contact the lifeboat crew.

-Hi, coastguard, please.

0:17:460:17:50

PAGERS BLEEP

0:17:500:17:52

This is it, guys. Time for your first rescue. Move!

0:17:520:17:57

Every time on Hero Squad, the cadets will face a nerve-wracking

0:17:590:18:03

challenge based on real-life emergencies.

0:18:030:18:06

They'll be racing against the clock to save their casualty,

0:18:060:18:09

and it's the cadets alone who will be calling the shots.

0:18:090:18:12

It really is all down to these 12 and 13-year-olds.

0:18:120:18:17

Two days ago they were in school,

0:18:170:18:20

now they're rushing to the aid of a Hero Squad casualty.

0:18:200:18:23

Luci's first job as Hero Squad leader is to organise her team.

0:18:230:18:27

Who is the communications? Do you want to go in first?

0:18:270:18:31

So that's Alex on the radio.

0:18:310:18:34

'Hero Squad lifeboat, this is training coastguard...'

0:18:340:18:37

Katy and Andy are on navigation...

0:18:370:18:39

Guys, this is your squad leader.

0:18:410:18:44

..and Lewis and Kiera on lookout.

0:18:440:18:46

'Please proceed at your best speed to the last-known position.'

0:18:460:18:49

Each time on Hero Squad,

0:18:490:18:51

the cadets' mentor will be looking for a Hero Of The Day -

0:18:510:18:54

a recruit who shows exceptional bravery,

0:18:540:18:57

quick wits and determination.

0:18:570:18:59

First of all, Alex needs to get more information from the coastguard.

0:18:590:19:04

'There's believed to be a man overboard

0:19:040:19:06

'so please treat as an immediate distress. Over.'

0:19:060:19:10

Alex, will you tell us all the information, please?

0:19:100:19:13

It's a yacht - Splash Happy - in distress.

0:19:130:19:17

There's a man overboard.

0:19:170:19:19

Every second counts now. The sea is just ten degrees

0:19:190:19:23

and even with protective gear on, that's dangerously cold.

0:19:230:19:27

The engine has failed and there's no radio communication.

0:19:270:19:31

The most important thing is there's a man overboard.

0:19:310:19:34

The cadets still need to work out where they're going.

0:19:360:19:40

So while Kiera keeps her eyes peeled,

0:19:400:19:43

Katy tries to make sense of a large navigation chart.

0:19:430:19:47

'..Approximately five-zero degrees...'

0:19:470:19:50

Using the chart and co-ordinates given to them by the coastguard,

0:19:500:19:53

she's doing the job of an onboard sat-nav.

0:19:530:19:55

Katy plots the course they need to take to the yacht.

0:19:570:20:00

She's found it.

0:20:000:20:02

And thanks to her,

0:20:020:20:03

they can head straight to our Hero Squad casualty...and fast.

0:20:030:20:07

'All stations, picking up speed now.'

0:20:070:20:10

The clock is ticking.

0:20:100:20:12

And the fate of our Hero Squad casualty is in the hands

0:20:120:20:15

of these six young cadets.

0:20:150:20:16

Can they remember their training

0:20:160:20:18

and all work together to successfully complete this rescue?

0:20:180:20:21

With a full emergency crew on board the lifeboat,

0:20:210:20:25

I'm watching all the action from a distance.

0:20:250:20:29

Can I please have everyone up on deck for lookout?

0:20:310:20:33

The cadets are on lookout for the stricken yacht, Splash Happy.

0:20:350:20:39

Yacht, straight ahead.

0:20:430:20:45

I think Kiera's seen it, straight in front.

0:20:450:20:47

We think it's over there.

0:20:470:20:50

Kiera's right! She's spotted the casualty afloat in the sea.

0:20:500:20:54

I can see someone waving from the yacht.

0:20:560:20:58

The Hero Squad casualty has been in the cold sea for almost an hour

0:20:580:21:03

so Luci needs to get the cadets organised

0:21:030:21:05

and get him out quickly, but she's wasting valuable time.

0:21:050:21:09

Which one...? You two could be at the front.

0:21:120:21:18

Kiera's going to be shouting, "heave", cos she did that yesterday.

0:21:180:21:22

OK, guys. Time's running out.

0:21:220:21:24

-OK, right. You go in order.

-Well done, Luci.

0:21:240:21:27

Good call, Luci.

0:21:270:21:29

She remembered the hoist from their training

0:21:290:21:33

and told the others to start using it.

0:21:330:21:37

-We'll be with you in a minute.

-Stay where you are.

0:21:370:21:41

-Is someone keeping an eye on the casualty?

-Yeah.

-Not long now!

0:21:430:21:48

It's very important to keep the casualty in sight at all times,

0:21:480:21:52

as while he's still in the water, he's still in danger.

0:21:520:21:55

It's all right, sir, we're going to get you.

0:21:550:21:58

At one metre 70, Kiera's the tallest cadet,

0:21:580:22:02

so her job is to reach down and secure the casualty

0:22:020:22:05

while the others work together to pull on the ropes.

0:22:050:22:08

Are they going to have the strength to winch him up?

0:22:110:22:13

They can only do it if they work together.

0:22:130:22:15

Heave! Heave!

0:22:150:22:17

The hoist works on a pulley system.

0:22:170:22:19

As they learnt yesterday, it's physically tough,

0:22:190:22:23

and they need to work as a team to pull the casualty to safety.

0:22:230:22:27

They're all pulling together!

0:22:270:22:29

ALL: Heave! Heave! Heave!

0:22:290:22:31

LUCI: Drop it down slightly.

0:22:310:22:34

They've done it! They've got him out to safety.

0:22:360:22:39

OK. Make some space.

0:22:390:22:40

Finally, the Hero Squad casualty is onboard the lifeboat and safe.

0:22:440:22:48

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

0:22:480:22:50

But it's not over yet.

0:22:500:22:53

Have you got anybody else on the boat with you?

0:22:530:22:57

Quick thinking Katy's realised there's still someone

0:22:570:22:59

stuck on the yacht with no engine.

0:22:590:23:02

The Hero Squad will need to tow the yacht back to safety.

0:23:020:23:05

We're getting somebody to throw a rope over.

0:23:050:23:07

We'll be with you in a minute.

0:23:070:23:10

Katy's straight onto it -

0:23:100:23:12

getting the rope ready, so they can throw a line to the yacht.

0:23:120:23:16

She hands the line to keen sailor Lewis.

0:23:160:23:20

Can he hit the mark with his rope throw?

0:23:200:23:22

The pressure's really on for Lewis now.

0:23:220:23:25

Can he throw the rope and get it to the yachtsman?

0:23:250:23:27

Right, are you OK?

0:23:270:23:29

Try and throw it. Go!

0:23:310:23:34

Oh!

0:23:340:23:35

Oh! He's just missed.

0:23:350:23:37

It's a miss with his first effort. But he's not giving up.

0:23:370:23:41

Try again. You did really well.

0:23:420:23:45

Are you ready?

0:23:450:23:47

Well done!

0:23:490:23:51

And he's done it!

0:23:510:23:53

Pull this line!

0:23:570:23:58

Now the yachtsman's got the rope

0:23:580:24:00

he can be towed by the lifeboat back to safety.

0:24:000:24:03

Will you please drive forward slowly?

0:24:030:24:07

Yeah, OK, that's cool.

0:24:070:24:08

Squad leader Luci is still firmly in charge.

0:24:080:24:12

-Did you get it?

-Watch the rope, guys.

0:24:120:24:15

I think Luci was a brilliant squad leader.

0:24:150:24:18

She told us all what to do and she took control of the situation.

0:24:180:24:21

Try and steer a little bit.

0:24:210:24:24

Try and make sure you don't tip over.

0:24:240:24:28

This rescue was really cool.

0:24:280:24:29

Me and Kiera were up there looking out

0:24:290:24:33

and it was kind of like a mission!

0:24:330:24:34

Are you ready?

0:24:340:24:37

All they have to do now is make the tow back as smooth as possible.

0:24:370:24:41

But once again, Katy has spotted an issue

0:24:410:24:45

Let the rope out looser, please.

0:24:450:24:47

There's not enough tension on it.

0:24:470:24:49

So how do we get tension on it?

0:24:490:24:50

Go and tell them to go faster.

0:24:500:24:53

Will you please drive a bit faster?

0:24:530:24:55

Thank you!

0:24:550:24:56

It's a great feeling to have completed my first challenge

0:24:590:25:02

cos it went really well and it's just given us

0:25:020:25:05

lots of confidence to know we can work well as a team.

0:25:050:25:08

The Hero Squad's job is done.

0:25:130:25:15

'Training coastguard, this is training coastguard,

0:25:160:25:19

'please repeat your message, over.'

0:25:190:25:20

Recovered casualty and on the way back to shore.

0:25:200:25:24

The Hero Squad cadets have worked together brilliantly

0:25:320:25:35

in their first ever Hero Squad rescue.

0:25:350:25:38

They've transformed themselves from cadets into RNLI lifesavers.

0:25:380:25:43

Now all that's left to do is choose a Hero Of The Day,

0:25:430:25:45

the cadet their mentor believes has demonstrated

0:25:450:25:48

that extra bit of bravery, determination and skill.

0:25:480:25:53

The Hero Of The Day will get a special treat,

0:25:530:25:55

while the other cadets are given a chore.

0:25:550:25:58

After doing so well with their first mission, this is a tough decision.

0:25:580:26:04

Luci, as the squad leader, I think you really allowed your team

0:26:040:26:09

to develop underneath you.

0:26:090:26:10

Katy, what we saw from you today,

0:26:120:26:13

you picked up the navigation side of it

0:26:130:26:17

which was outstanding, really, so very well done.

0:26:170:26:19

So who is the one cadet to have impressed mentor Glen enough

0:26:190:26:23

to win the title Hero Of The Day?

0:26:230:26:26

The person we've decided that is going to be Hero Of The Day is...

0:26:270:26:33

..Katy.

0:26:380:26:40

-Well done.

-Well done.

0:26:430:26:45

I was just so excited,

0:26:450:26:48

it was an amazing feeling.

0:26:480:26:50

I'm so ecstatic.

0:26:500:26:52

In training, Katy struggled the most

0:26:520:26:55

during her survival swim, but she battled on.

0:26:550:26:59

And when it came to the rescue,

0:27:000:27:03

her navigation skills kept the Hero Squad lifeboat right on course.

0:27:030:27:08

I think the Hero Of The Day decision was pretty well picked

0:27:080:27:11

cos Katy did try her hardest.

0:27:110:27:13

I think Katy deserved to get Hero Of The Day

0:27:130:27:16

cos she was very good on the boat.

0:27:160:27:18

Having just had one day of training, they were outstanding.

0:27:180:27:22

For today's treat, Katy gets to drive top speed

0:27:240:27:27

in a lifeboat simulator, whilst the other cadets mop the decks!

0:27:270:27:32

Coming up on Hero Squad - will the cadets overcome their fears

0:27:380:27:42

when they go deep underground to rescue someone

0:27:420:27:45

who's trapped somewhere

0:27:450:27:48

in a three-mile-long network of caves?

0:27:480:27:50

Find out next time.
