The Invasion Of The Blue Bottles

BONDI BEACH, Australia. January 12. DURING the 2007 North Bondi Classic race, Australia open water swimming star Luane Rowe recalled, "Only 15 of us finished due to [blooms of] blue bottles that were blown onto the race course."

The video shows how the Bondi lifeguards not only rescued the swimmers, but also treated the painful stings.
