These sessions are a fun and relaxed way to build fitness, improve skills across all disciplines, and connect with others who share a passion for surf lifesaving.

PATROLLING OUR BEACHES
Our dedicated volunteer surf lifesavers patrol the Back Beach on weekends and public holidays from mid-October to April. Patrol times vary throughout the season. We also provide patrol coverage at Koombana Bay on Sundays during the peak summer holiday period.

HOW TO BECOME A PATROLLING LIFESAVER
To start your journey as a surf lifesaver, your first step is to complete either the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) or the Bronze Medallion. The Bronze Medallion course runs over 6 to 8 weeks (around 4 hours per week) and includes training in surf swimming, rescue techniques using various equipment, first aid, CPR, and core lifesaving knowledge.

Once qualified, active patrol members are placed on a patrol roster and commit to regular voluntary patrols. Patrolling members are also eligible to compete in SLSWA surf sports carnivals.

WANT TO GIVE IT A TRY?
If you're not yet a member but are curious about joining or becoming a lifesaver, get in touch! We’d be happy to organise a ‘Come and Try’ session so you can see firsthand if surf lifesaving is right for you.
