As a former champion ironwoman and long-standing surf lifesaver, Candice Warner knows the dangers of the ocean well.

She and her two nipper daughters have lent their support to a beach safety campaign that encourages kids to learn vital surf skills in a bid to reduce growing rip-related drownings on unpatrolled beaches.
