EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1997, we are transported back to Tynemouth Longsands beach in the 1990s. The image captures a group of rookie lifeguards eagerly going through their paces under the watchful eye of experienced lifeguard Gordon Ingram. The scene is filled with youthful energy and determination as these aspiring guardians of the sea showcase their skills on surfboards against the backdrop of crashing waves. Brothers Ross, aged six, and Andrew Crosby, aged ten, along with nine-year-old Vivienne Neeve demonstrate their bravery and commitment to keeping others safe at one of England's most beloved beaches. This snapshot not only highlights the importance of lifeguards in ensuring public safety but also serves as a reminder that even at a young age, individuals can make a significant impact in their communities. It symbolizes dedication to learning and honing essential life-saving techniques while fostering teamwork among these future heroes. As we reflect upon this nostalgic moment frozen in time by NCJ Photography, it evokes memories of carefree summer days spent by the seaside - building sandcastles, splashing in the water, and feeling an overwhelming sense of freedom. This photograph encapsulates both innocence and responsibility; it reminds us that even during leisurely moments at the beach, there are always unsung heroes working diligently behind the scenes to protect us all.
