Bali Garden Hotel
Surf Board Rescue

Bali Garden Hotel has acquired a surf rescue board and tube to help make Kuta beach a safer place to swim. Bali Garden Hotel has been a long standing supporter of Bali Surf Lifesaving Club, which has providing the First Aid Training Program of Cardiso Pulmonary Resuscitation/CPR technique for beachfront staff of Bali Garden Hotel.
"As we have a very nice beach which has a direct access to Kuta Beach, it is very necessary for our employees to have that skill and they would be able to perform rescues, to resuscitate and give first aid in the future. This facility of surfboard could be used as well by Bali Surf Lifesaving Club for rescue activities. We thank the Cottesloe Surf Lifesaving Club Perth, which has been able to bring it over to Bali, and provide us with 2 surfboards. With more domestic and European tourists visiting Bali and Australian families expected over the Christmas school holidays, it is important to make the beach as safe as possible,’’ said Adrian Forsyth, General Manager of Bali Garden Hotel.
The rescue equipment is of the latest international standard and was acquired with assistance from and in conjunction with the Cottesloe Surf Lifesaving Club in Perth. Jean Burling, the Director for Surf Lifesaving in Western Australia and her team of International Lifesavers have been assisting and coordinating with local teams to improve them with high qualification standard of rescues and resuscitation.
To announce the program with employees, the paddle surf competition is held at Kuta Beach on Thursday, October 26, 2006 at 16.30 pm with cash prizes for winner. (BTN/*)
