Guardians of the Coast
Every summer, Surf Life Saving Queensland volunteers patrol thousands of kilometres of coastline. They’re the first to respond, the calm in the chaos, and the heartbeat of every Queensland beach.
But behind every rescue is the strain of long hours under the sun, constant vigilance, and the need to stay sharp when seconds count. Proper hydration plays a vital role in maintaining focus, preventing fatigue, and ensuring every lifesaver can perform at their best.
Why Hydration Matters
Under the Aussie sun, it doesn't take much to become dehydrated. The mix of heat, salt water, and constant movement quickly drains fluids and essential minerals, often before you even feel thirsty.
"Our volunteers operate in tough conditions: long hours in the heat, constantly alert, and often making split-second decisions that save lives," says Zoe Bickerstaffe, General Manager Marketing & Membership, Surf Life Saving Queensland. "Hydration plays a huge role in maintaining that focus and performance."
It's more than just quenching thirst, it's about keeping your body and mind at their best, supporting reaction time, energy, muscle function and recovery.

WHY IT WORKS
From the surf to the worksite, the Aussie environment tests both body and mind. Long hours, heat, and constant exposure to the elements push endurance, focus, and recovery to their limits.
Hydration plays a crucial role in maintaining performance, helping regulate body temperature, support reaction time, and prevent fatigue. At Body Armour, we design clean, science-backed hydration to help you stay sharp, balanced, and ready for whatever the day brings.
Hydration isn’t one-size-fits-all. Traditional sports drinks are built for short, high-intensity bursts, loaded with sugars and carbs for quick energy. They’re not designed for daily use or for long, hot days under the Australian sun.
Whether you’re on patrol or simply enjoying the beach, hydration is a continuous need, one that supports focus, endurance, and long-term wellbeing.
Body Armour is a clean, everyday hydration solution. Formulated with no artificial colours, flavours, or sweeteners, it’s designed for optimal recovery and performance.
Basic hydration drinks only include sodium and potassium. Optimal hydration requires all five key electrolytes - sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride. Our formulas go beyond just electrolytes. We include a vitamin complex, nootropics, and essential minerals that support energy production, cognitive function, focus, and recovery. Combined with our scientifically balanced hypotonic electrolyte formula, this ensures you stay hydrated and energised, for maximum performance.
“At Body Armour, we are passionate about producing healthier alternatives for the next generation. Products that support performance, protect wellbeing, and create better habits for life. Our promise is simple: to deliver clean, premium hydration and recovery solutions, built on modern science, designed for the people who give their all to protect, perform, and serve their community.” - Toni McQuinn, Body Armour Director
