The team behind Network Ten's hit reality series, Bondi Rescue, is celebrating its success at Sunday night's Logie awards after the show won the gong for most popular factual program.

Waverley Council lifeguard co-ordinator Bruce Hopkins swapped his speedos for a suit and tie to accept the Logie on behalf of the professional lifeguard team and the program's producers, Cordell Jigsaw.

Now in its third season, Bondi Rescue was also nominated for most outstanding factual series, but the award went to ABC1's Choir of Hard Knocks.

Waverley Mayor Ingrid Strewe congratulated everyone involved with the program and praised the series as "a great vehicle for promoting surf safety".
