# Hello, my name is Mr Bloom

0:00:040:00:07

# And I'd like to come to see you soon

0:00:070:00:10

# I'm out on the road, you see

0:00:100:00:12

# Here and there

0:00:120:00:13

# So that we

0:00:130:00:15

# Can get together and have some fun

0:00:150:00:17

# I'll help you out if there's work to be done

0:00:190:00:22

# So, where is it you like to go?

0:00:230:00:27

# Call me up and let me know

0:00:270:00:29

# What is it you like to do?

0:00:290:00:31

# I'll pop along and do it, too

0:00:310:00:34

# Cities, towns, the countryside

0:00:340:00:36

# I can travel far and wide

0:00:360:00:38

# I'm all about and everywhere

0:00:380:00:41

# I'm here and there

0:00:410:00:43

# Here and there

0:00:430:00:45

# I'm here and there. #

0:00:450:00:48

Hey, hello there, tiddlers. How are you tiddling? Mr Bloom here.

0:00:500:00:55

Apart from gardening, I like going out and about.

0:00:550:00:58

I like going here and there, doing fun things

0:00:580:01:01

and finding out about new places.

0:01:010:01:03

I've been wondering, what do you like to do where you live?

0:01:030:01:07

Perhaps you like going to the beach with your family, visiting museums?

0:01:070:01:11

ROUTE FINDER CHIMES

0:01:110:01:13

Oh, well, it looks like somebody wants to tell me.

0:01:130:01:16

-I'm Abigail.

-I'm Joe.

-We're lifeguard Nippers.

0:01:330:01:37

We even train in the rain.

0:01:380:01:40

BOTH: We love it!

0:01:410:01:43

Come for a visit, Mr Bloom.

0:01:430:01:46

THEY CHEER

0:01:460:01:48

You know what? I'd love to come.

0:01:480:01:52

# Whereabouts will I end up next?

0:01:590:02:01

# Let's put my Route Finder to the test

0:02:030:02:06

# It could be a beach A village or a city

0:02:070:02:10

# Museum, or a school A garden so pretty

0:02:100:02:12

# A church or a station A river or town

0:02:120:02:15

# I just can't wait till you show me around

0:02:150:02:17

# Tiddlers, I'm on my way

0:02:170:02:21

# So, where am I today? #

0:02:210:02:25

Well, here we are. I'm dressed up for the beach and ready to go.

0:02:320:02:35

We just need to find those tiddlers. I think this is the right beach.

0:02:350:02:40

They're not having a paddle or making a sand castle.

0:02:400:02:43

I wonder where they might be? Hang about...

0:02:430:02:46

Hey, what's going on over there? Shall we take a look?

0:02:460:02:50

Ready?

0:02:520:02:54

Ankles together. Chins on hands.

0:02:540:02:57

WHISTLE BLOWS

0:02:580:03:00

Hey! Hello, there, Abigail.

0:03:080:03:11

Hello, Joe. It's nice to see you.

0:03:110:03:13

Hey, thanks for inviting me along today. This looks cracking.

0:03:130:03:17

So, who are all your friends here?

0:03:170:03:19

These are the Nippers and they are coaches.

0:03:190:03:22

-And what are you training for?

-To be a lifeguard.

-Really?

0:03:220:03:26

Now, I didn't know that tiddlers like you could be lifeguards.

0:03:260:03:30

If I wanted to be a Nipper, what would I have to do?

0:03:300:03:33

You would have to train in the swimming pool.

0:03:330:03:36

You have to train on the beach.

0:03:360:03:38

-So, you have to be able to swim if you want to be a Nipper?

-Yeah.

0:03:380:03:42

-And how old do you have to be?

-Seven.

-Seven? Is that right?

0:03:420:03:46

Are you seven, Joe?

0:03:460:03:49

You can be with your dad if you're five.

0:03:490:03:52

-What's your favourite thing about being a Nipper, Joe?

-Doing flags.

0:03:520:03:57

-Doing flags - is this what your friends are doing right now?

-Yes.

0:03:570:04:01

The coaches and junior lifeguards put the flags -

0:04:040:04:08

well, they're really just pieces of pipe - they put them in the sand.

0:04:080:04:12

Then, the Nippers have to lie down and not look.

0:04:120:04:15

Then, when the coach blows the whistle,

0:04:150:04:18

the Nippers have to jump up and race to grab a flag.

0:04:180:04:22

There they go! But you know what?

0:04:220:04:24

It's just like musical chairs,

0:04:240:04:26

because there are never enough and the last one there is out.

0:04:260:04:29

So, you've got to be able to swim.

0:04:380:04:40

You've got to be five if you're with your dad, or seven.

0:04:400:04:43

-What are you wearing?

-BOTH: Wet suits.

0:04:430:04:46

-That's right. Why are wet suits important?

-They make you warm.

0:04:460:04:49

That's right. Sometimes the sea can be chilly.

0:04:490:04:52

-If you're wearing a wet suit, you don't get quite as cold, do you?

-No.

0:04:520:04:57

Tell me, what other types of training that you do?

0:05:040:05:07

-Run, wade, run.

-Run, wade, run? Hey, that sounds exciting, Joe.

0:05:070:05:12

Would you like to see it?

0:05:120:05:14

You bet I would. So, what do we have to do?

0:05:140:05:17

You have to go over there, between the two lifeguards,

0:05:170:05:20

and stand there and then we get in our place,

0:05:200:05:25

and you have to put your hands up and put them down.

0:05:250:05:28

And then that means we have to run around the first lifeguard,

0:05:280:05:32

and then run across you, run across the other lifeguard,

0:05:320:05:36

then through the finish line and stop.

0:05:360:05:38

Wow. I take my arms, throw them up in the air,

0:05:380:05:41

bring them down, then you're off. Is that right?

0:05:410:05:44

-Yes.

-Well, this sounds good to me.

0:05:440:05:46

-You run over to your friends and I'll go and get in the sea.

-OK.

0:05:460:05:51

We're here.

0:05:520:05:54

Run, wade, run is like a practice rescue.

0:05:540:05:56

It's how the Nippers practise running through the water quickly.

0:05:560:06:01

Right, so I think I'm ready to be rescued.

0:06:010:06:03

If I remember, Abigail said I need to raise my arms up when I'm ready.

0:06:030:06:07

Here we go!

0:06:070:06:10

Go!

0:06:100:06:11

Oh, good running! Good running, Nippers!

0:06:120:06:16

Good running! Keep going!

0:06:170:06:19

-Second.

-Brilliant!

0:06:210:06:24

Fourth.

0:06:240:06:25

That was top work. High-five, Nippers!

0:06:270:06:30

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

0:06:300:06:32

-Wow.

-I was fourth.

-Who won that?

-Me!

-Did you?

-I came fourth.

0:06:320:06:37

-Was that good fun?

-Yeah.

-Was that good fun?

0:06:370:06:40

You guys were tearing through the water.

0:06:400:06:42

How do you run through the water so fast?

0:06:420:06:45

You just go like this and run.

0:06:450:06:48

-Really, you hold your feet up high?

-Like that.

0:06:480:06:50

-Like this?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Is this right?

-Yeah.

0:06:500:06:53

And sometimes if you're deep, you go...

0:06:530:06:56

It'll help you through the water quicker.

0:06:560:06:59

Hey, the Route Finder's going to

0:07:070:07:09

show us some of the training we were doing.

0:07:090:07:12

All the games the Nippers play help them

0:07:120:07:15

practise the skills they need to be lifeguards.

0:07:150:07:18

They need to react quickly,

0:07:180:07:19

have eagle eyes to spot people in the sea.

0:07:190:07:23

And run really fast.

0:07:230:07:26

And, Joe, why do you think it's important

0:07:260:07:29

to have lifeguards on a beach like this?

0:07:290:07:31

Because if they're in trouble, the lifeguards will come and save them.

0:07:310:07:36

That's right. If people are in trouble in the water,

0:07:360:07:39

then the lifeguards go and help them.

0:07:390:07:41

Abigail tells me there have been surf life-saving clubs

0:07:410:07:45

in South Wales for almost 50 years.

0:07:450:07:48

Now, that's a long time keeping people safe.

0:07:480:07:51

What's the craic with these hats?

0:07:510:07:53

Why are you wearing these hats in Nippers?

0:07:530:07:55

If we got in trouble,

0:07:550:07:57

they'd know where we are and they'd come and save us,

0:07:570:08:00

-and they'd know it was one of the Nippers.

-Right, I see.

0:08:000:08:04

-So, you wear hats so the lifeguards can see you. Is that right?

-Yeah.

0:08:040:08:08

-ROUTE FINDER CHIMES

-Hey up! Looks like my Route Finder.

0:08:080:08:12

Hey, you know what it's going to show us?

0:08:120:08:14

It's going to show us the other things you can do at the seaside.

0:08:140:08:18

People have been coming to the seaside for years and years

0:08:210:08:24

because there's loads of things you can do.

0:08:240:08:27

You can build a sand castle...

0:08:270:08:29

..or you could go for a paddle.

0:08:330:08:35

Hey, you could watch a Punch and Judy show...

0:08:370:08:40

..or just play with a bat and ball.

0:08:420:08:45

Or, if you've had lots of training, you could go surfing.

0:08:480:08:53

Surfers practise hard

0:09:000:09:02

so they can catch a wave and stand up on the boards.

0:09:020:09:06

They have to be strong swimmers.

0:09:060:09:08

But, if something goes wrong and they need help,

0:09:150:09:18

lifeguards can speed to the rescue.

0:09:180:09:21

It's great spending time at the seaside.

0:09:240:09:28

The relay race is where

0:09:320:09:33

the Nippers really practise their speed.

0:09:330:09:37

Wow, look at them go!

0:09:400:09:43

All that running looks like good exercise to me.

0:10:060:10:10

-Hi, Mr Bloom, I'm Tom.

-Ah, Tom. It's nice to meet you.

0:10:100:10:13

You look a bit big to be a Nipper. Are you a surf life-saver, too?

0:10:130:10:17

Yes, I'm involved in the national team. I grew up being a Nipper.

0:10:170:10:21

-I've been involved since I was around eight.

-I see.

0:10:210:10:24

Where are you doing surf life-saving now? Have you moved on?

0:10:240:10:28

I'm still involved locally, but I've been across the world

0:10:280:10:31

to France, Australia, a number of places.

0:10:310:10:34

Australia? That's right on the other side of the world.

0:10:340:10:37

Did you have to use any of the skills you learnt?

0:10:370:10:40

I was racing in the world titles in Australia.

0:10:400:10:43

There was a problem where we had to rush in

0:10:430:10:47

and save some people, where there was boats hitting rocks.

0:10:470:10:50

The skills I learned as a Nipper really helped.

0:10:500:10:53

So, the skills they're learning, they'll be able to use them in the

0:10:530:10:57

future to save lives, like you?

0:10:570:10:59

Exactly. The skills will stay with them for a lifetime.

0:10:590:11:03

Jolly good. Are you off into the sea?

0:11:030:11:05

-Yeah, just going to catch some waves.

-I'll let you get on. Cheers, Tom.

0:11:050:11:09

In you come, Nippers!

0:11:170:11:19

Well, you know what? I can certainly see

0:11:190:11:22

why you love being part of Surf Life-saving Wales,

0:11:220:11:26

because I have had a cracking time today. Have you had fun?

0:11:260:11:29

-ALL: Yeah!

-Well, you know what?

0:11:290:11:32

I've got to say thank you for inviting me here today.

0:11:320:11:35

It's time I hit the road. So, you join me soon when I'll be...

0:11:350:11:39

ALL: Here and there!

0:11:390:11:40

-That's right. Bye-bye!

-ALL: Bye!
