Kangaroo Beach

- Season 1

(2020)

Gemma is determined to win the Kangaroo Beach junior triathlon, score a trophy and most importantly, beat the pants off Pounce. But when an emergency breaks out during the race, she discovers there are more important things than winning gold.

Wearing Bondi's cap, Pounce thinks he's chief lifeguard - but when Gemma and Neville need rescuing from a whale encounter, should he jump in, or alert a real lifeguard?

While scuba diving over the reef, Frizzy swims off from her buddy Big Trev in search of hidden treasure and becomes lost underwater.

Camping out overnight on Boomerang Island with the cadets, Frizzy goes on a late night hunt for an alien koala.

When Neville fails to learn how to surf as well as his friends, he builds a self-surfing surfboard - but it quickly lands him in hot water.

When Pounce pretends he's an expert at diving under big waves, his friends ask him to teach them how - and he soon finds himself in deep trouble.

When Charlene swims too close to Kangaroo Beach for the third time this week, Neville builds a shark-spotting drone - which quickly makes the lifeguards obsolete. But a too-confident Neville ignores the shark alarm, disaster strikes and Charlene gets beached in a cave. Now the lifeguards must work alongside technology to rescue the whopping big shark.

Pounce is literally bouncing with excitement to take part in Rescue Day, an epic, action-packed mock rescue on Boomerang Island. But when he sprains his thumper on the way to training, he's devastated to miss out, stuck back at the club for the day. But when a young wombat gets in trouble in the water, Pounce discovers that sometimes the best rescues aren't necessarily epic and action-packed.

The cadets are learning how to scuba dive, including the all-important message: Always swim with a buddy. But Frizzy is distracted by her own obsessive mission - to find King Neptune's trident and crown herself Queen of the Sea. When she abandons her buddy Big Trev to look for it, he winds up stuck in an underwater cave. Now Frizzy must guide Sandy to the rescue underwater, using scuba signals - and stick with her buddy.

When a TV crew shows up to film rescues on Kangaroo Beach, Frizzy decides to play victim to get herself on telly. When that doesn't work, she performs a rip-roaring opera at sea in an elaborate (and heavy!) costume.

While the cadets are supposed to be supervising young Phillipa, Frizzy borrows the lifeguards' Golden Crabby award. But when a cheeky crab makes the shell-shaped trophy her new home and scurries off, the cadets turn detective to try and track it down - forgetting to pay attention to Phillipa and leading to near-disaster in the swimming pool.

The cadets spend an afternoon exploring Boomerang Island, but when Ghërkinn's drifts away, they suddenly find they're castaways. Pounce, Gemma and Frizzy hop across some rocks towards shore, but when stranded by a rising tide, it's up to a cautious little yellow wombat to save the day.

When the cadets get a chance to win some medals in three rounds of challenges, Frizzy gets distracted by the promise of shiny gold things. But when Frizzy fails at all three, she climbs a tree, feeling sorry for herself - and discovers a hidden talent for spotting danger from up high.

When the cadets compete in the much-awaited Battle of the Boards, they must work together as a team to try and win a brand new rescue board for the surf club. Trouble is, Neville is nervous he's going to let the team down. By knowing his limits and going at his own pace, it's Neville who teaches the others a lesson in one of the most dramatic Battle of the Boards since Bondi was a boy.

Neville builds an epic sandcastle and makes himself king, but forgets that a king tide is forecast for Kangaroo Beach.

A giant inflatable waterslide is erected on the lagoon, but before they can ride the cadets must teach the younger kids how to float. When the waterslide is cut loose and blows out to sea, Wei's floating skills come in handy.

Gemma can't wait to see all the weird and wonderful sea creatures on Snorkelling Day but her snorkel is getting in the way. Frizzy is distracted while the cadets learn how to stay calm in the water but in the end it's Frizzy who teaches Gemma how to relax.

Pounce, Frizzy and Gemma each have their own personal superstar lifeguard hero. But during an action-packed ride-along day, they discover that it's not about the individual, but the team.

The cadets think lifeguarding is all about exciting rescues, glamour and gratitude, but when the lifeguards give them an opportunity to run the club for a day, they struggle to keep up with the many demands of running a beach. The lifeguards are ready to step in and take over, but then the cadets realise what's missing - communication. As Gemma gives her fellow cadets instructions over their walkie-talkies, suddenly they are doing a brilliant job - even performing their own river rescue.

When Reef and Roadie are rejected from the cadets' safety film, they disrupt the production with a set of pranks but end up learning a valuable lesson about pretending to be in trouble when you're not.

It's the hottest day of summer and while Frizzy, Neville and Gemma try to cool down beached dolphin Shelley, Pounce is determined to prove he has staying power under the beating sun.

It's Carnival Day at Kangaroo Beach with two teams competing in lifeguard games. But it's the young cadets versus the lifeguards - how can they possibly win against a stellar team of grown-up champions?

When the cadets create animals out of rubbish they've cleaned from the beach, they dub them 'trash pets' and inspire other beachgoers to make their own but soon things get out of hand and their treasure becomes trash once more.

When Pounce falls in the lagoon and gets covered in seaweed, the other cadets mistake him for a swamp monster, and decide they have to capture it.

It's the day of the big Kangaroo Beach beach cricket match, but when Gemma and the cadets find a nest of turtle eggs, they play 'parents', vowing to protect the eggs from seagulls, crabs and flying cricket balls.
