Rescuers at the ready: Gunnamatta lifesavers rescued two fathers caught in wild seas at St Andrews on a hot summer’s day in 1975. There were no mobile phones to call for help and the lifesavers were based in a small tin shed. Fifty years later the club is about to celebrate its 50th year of continually being available to rescue swimmers caught in the seas that were once thought too dangerous to enter.
