We all have different abilities. But sometimes, we need to dig a little deeper to find our own special gifts.

Lifeguard Anthony ‘Harries’ Carroll, who appears in the internationally acclaimed, long-running unscripted Australian TV show Bondi Rescue, wasn’t always as confident as he is now. As a child, he was often bullied for his dyslexia, and sadness and shame quickly followed.

However, what Harries eventually discovered was that his talent lay not in words, but in seeing and hearing things others might not pick up on. His heightened alertness to his surroundings means Harries can anticipate when someone might be in danger. Uncovering these qualities in himself led Harries to carve out a successful 30-year career as a lifeguard, rescuing and resuscitating thousands of people.

Harries is a story of hope for any child searching to find their own unique place in the world.

Anthony ‘Harries’ Carroll is one of the most recognizable lifeguards on TV’s Bondi Rescue, which has aired in countries around the world. He has spent almost thirty years protecting the local beachgoing community, rescuing almost 6000 people, and is one of the longest serving active patrolling lifeguards in Bondi’s history. Harries has won six Australian Open Longboard Titles, and in 2017 won the Molokai2Oahu Paddleboard World Championships (40–49 years). He is also a Pilates instructor, and passionate mental health advocate and speaker.  Emily Carroll is Pilates instructor and certified ice bath coach. She is a devoted mother to two energetic boys, a nature lover, and an avid beachgoer.  Carla Hoffenberg is a published children’s book illustrator who lives in Sydney. She grew up in Johannesburg and lived in NYC. She is passionate about bringing joy to the world through optimistic and imaginative illustrations. Carla has three children and loves seeing their individuality and self-confidence flourish. She is either at the beach or working on her next children’s book project.
