What are coastguards?

Coastguards are like superheroes who protect people on the water and near the shore.

Imagine you're playing near a big lake or ocean. Sometimes, boats get into trouble, they might be stuck, lost, or even hit by waves. That's when the coastguards come in! They're like firefighters, but for the sea. They use special boats and sometimes even helicopters to help people who are in danger on the water.

Coastguards have training, just like how you practice your bike riding or drawing. They learn how to swim, drive big boats, and even rescue people from far away. If someone is stuck on a boat or lost at sea, they go out to help them, it's like playing a game of tag, but with life-saving moves!

They also make sure that the water is safe for everyone. Sometimes they check if ships are following rules or if there’s something wrong with the waves.

So next time you're near the shore, remember, coastguards are there to keep you and others safe!
