[ARCHIVED] A Lifesaving First for Percy Gordon

Lifeguard Saved People Story Image Link

He's only in his first year, but he's already saved a life.

While keeping watch from his lifeguard stand at Ocean View Beach Park, Percy spotted a woman who was swept out to sea by a strong wind.

Without hesitation, her grabbed his surf rescue board and sprang into action — bringing her safely back to shore.

This was Percy's first  deep water rescue, and Team Norfolk couldn't be prouder.

As we celebrate this achievement, let's remember to stay safe and vigilant during the busy summer season.
