Hey, hello there, tiddlers. How are you tiddling? Mr Bloom here. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:55 | |
Apart from gardening, I like going out and about. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
I like going here and there, doing fun things | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
and finding out about new places. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
I've been wondering, what do you like to do where you live? | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Perhaps you like going to the beach with your family, visiting museums? | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
ROUTE FINDER CHIMES | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Oh, well, it looks like somebody wants to tell me. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-I'm Abigail. -I'm Joe. -We're lifeguard Nippers. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
We even train in the rain. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
BOTH: We love it! | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Come for a visit, Mr Bloom. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
You know what? I'd love to come. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
# Whereabouts will I end up next? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
# Let's put my Route Finder to the test | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
# It could be a beach A village or a city | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
# Museum, or a school A garden so pretty | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
# A church or a station A river or town | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
# I just can't wait till you show me around | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
# Tiddlers, I'm on my way | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
# So, where am I today? # | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
Well, here we are. I'm dressed up for the beach and ready to go. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
We just need to find those tiddlers. I think this is the right beach. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
They're not having a paddle or making a sand castle. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
I wonder where they might be? Hang about... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Hey, what's going on over there? Shall we take a look? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Ready? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Ankles together. Chins on hands. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
WHISTLE BLOWS | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Hey! Hello, there, Abigail. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Hello, Joe. It's nice to see you. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
Hey, thanks for inviting me along today. This looks cracking. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
So, who are all your friends here? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
These are the Nippers and they are coaches. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-And what are you training for? -To be a lifeguard. -Really? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
Now, I didn't know that tiddlers like you could be lifeguards. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
If I wanted to be a Nipper, what would I have to do? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
You would have to train in the swimming pool. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
You have to train on the beach. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-So, you have to be able to swim if you want to be a Nipper? -Yeah. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
-And how old do you have to be? -Seven. -Seven? Is that right? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
Are you seven, Joe? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
You can be with your dad if you're five. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-What's your favourite thing about being a Nipper, Joe? -Doing flags. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
-Doing flags - is this what your friends are doing right now? -Yes. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
The coaches and junior lifeguards put the flags - | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
well, they're really just pieces of pipe - they put them in the sand. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Then, the Nippers have to lie down and not look. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Then, when the coach blows the whistle, | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
the Nippers have to jump up and race to grab a flag. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
There they go! But you know what? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
It's just like musical chairs, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
because there are never enough and the last one there is out. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
So, you've got to be able to swim. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
You've got to be five if you're with your dad, or seven. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-What are you wearing? -BOTH: Wet suits. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
-That's right. Why are wet suits important? -They make you warm. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
That's right. Sometimes the sea can be chilly. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-If you're wearing a wet suit, you don't get quite as cold, do you? -No. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
Tell me, what other types of training that you do? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-Run, wade, run. -Run, wade, run? Hey, that sounds exciting, Joe. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
Would you like to see it? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
You bet I would. So, what do we have to do? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
You have to go over there, between the two lifeguards, | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
and stand there and then we get in our place, | 0:05:20 | 0:05:25 | |
and you have to put your hands up and put them down. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
And then that means we have to run around the first lifeguard, | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
and then run across you, run across the other lifeguard, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
then through the finish line and stop. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
Wow. I take my arms, throw them up in the air, | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
bring them down, then you're off. Is that right? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
-Yes. -Well, this sounds good to me. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
-You run over to your friends and I'll go and get in the sea. -OK. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
We're here. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Run, wade, run is like a practice rescue. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
It's how the Nippers practise running through the water quickly. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
Right, so I think I'm ready to be rescued. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
If I remember, Abigail said I need to raise my arms up when I'm ready. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
Here we go! | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Go! | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
Oh, good running! Good running, Nippers! | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
Good running! Keep going! | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
-Second. -Brilliant! | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Fourth. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:25 | |
That was top work. High-five, Nippers! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
-Wow. -I was fourth. -Who won that? -Me! -Did you? -I came fourth. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:37 | |
-Was that good fun? -Yeah. -Was that good fun? | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
You guys were tearing through the water. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
How do you run through the water so fast? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
You just go like this and run. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
-Really, you hold your feet up high? -Like that. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
-Like this? -Yeah. -Yeah. -Is this right? -Yeah. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
And sometimes if you're deep, you go... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
It'll help you through the water quicker. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
Hey, the Route Finder's going to | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
show us some of the training we were doing. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
All the games the Nippers play help them | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
practise the skills they need to be lifeguards. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
They need to react quickly, | 0:07:18 | 0:07:19 | |
have eagle eyes to spot people in the sea. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
And run really fast. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
And, Joe, why do you think it's important | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
to have lifeguards on a beach like this? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
Because if they're in trouble, the lifeguards will come and save them. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
That's right. If people are in trouble in the water, | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
then the lifeguards go and help them. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
Abigail tells me there have been surf life-saving clubs | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
in South Wales for almost 50 years. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Now, that's a long time keeping people safe. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
What's the craic with these hats? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
Why are you wearing these hats in Nippers? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
If we got in trouble, | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
they'd know where we are and they'd come and save us, | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-and they'd know it was one of the Nippers. -Right, I see. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
-So, you wear hats so the lifeguards can see you. Is that right? -Yeah. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
-ROUTE FINDER CHIMES -Hey up! Looks like my Route Finder. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
Hey, you know what it's going to show us? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
It's going to show us the other things you can do at the seaside. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
People have been coming to the seaside for years and years | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
because there's loads of things you can do. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
You can build a sand castle... | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
..or you could go for a paddle. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
Hey, you could watch a Punch and Judy show... | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
..or just play with a bat and ball. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Or, if you've had lots of training, you could go surfing. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
Surfers practise hard | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
so they can catch a wave and stand up on the boards. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
They have to be strong swimmers. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
But, if something goes wrong and they need help, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
lifeguards can speed to the rescue. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
It's great spending time at the seaside. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
The relay race is where | 0:09:32 | 0:09:33 | |
the Nippers really practise their speed. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
Wow, look at them go! | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
All that running looks like good exercise to me. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-Hi, Mr Bloom, I'm Tom. -Ah, Tom. It's nice to meet you. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
You look a bit big to be a Nipper. Are you a surf life-saver, too? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
Yes, I'm involved in the national team. I grew up being a Nipper. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-I've been involved since I was around eight. -I see. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
Where are you doing surf life-saving now? Have you moved on? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
I'm still involved locally, but I've been across the world | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
to France, Australia, a number of places. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Australia? That's right on the other side of the world. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Did you have to use any of the skills you learnt? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
I was racing in the world titles in Australia. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
There was a problem where we had to rush in | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
and save some people, where there was boats hitting rocks. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
The skills I learned as a Nipper really helped. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
So, the skills they're learning, they'll be able to use them in the | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
future to save lives, like you? | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
Exactly. The skills will stay with them for a lifetime. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Jolly good. Are you off into the sea? | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
-Yeah, just going to catch some waves. -I'll let you get on. Cheers, Tom. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
In you come, Nippers! | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
Well, you know what? I can certainly see | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
why you love being part of Surf Life-saving Wales, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
because I have had a cracking time today. Have you had fun? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
-ALL: Yeah! -Well, you know what? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
I've got to say thank you for inviting me here today. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
It's time I hit the road. So, you join me soon when I'll be... | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
ALL: Here and there! | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
-That's right. Bye-bye! -ALL: Bye! | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
