Our club offers experiences for children 7- 13 years in our nippers program, 14- 18 years in cadets and senior competition. Skills in surf-awareness, life saving, boat rowing, board paddling, opportunities to achieve Bronze medallion status, First Aid, A.R.C., IRB and life saving certificates are examples of courses offered. Whilst the local council owns the building, the members work to raise funds for club extensions and equipment. The club is self-sufficient in the day to day running of the organization. The management structure consists of an executive and a committee which meets monthly with a representative from each area. Our core business is lifesaving with beach patrols operating during the summer months. Competition runs alongside the community service we offer, skill development and competition ensures our members are trained and proficient, ensuring quality patrols on our main beach Traditionally, Surf Life Saving has been a male dominated activity. Families are very important in our club and this year we have a number of parents of nippers training for their bronze. |
