promoation
All members that wear the red & yellow quartered cap are
volunteer surf lifesavers. They have earned and annually update the
proficiency of their "Bronze Medallion" or hold a "Surf Rescue
Certificate" as a probationary surf lifesaver.
Surf Rescue Certificate
Probationary surf lifesavers can achieve this award from the age of
13 to help be prepared for active patrolling duties. The award
trains candidates in rescue skills, first aid and patient
management, resuscitation, plus a theoretical component exploring
safety knowledge and surf awareness.
Bronze Medallion
This is the minimum requirement for a surf lifesaver. The holder of
this award is over the age of 15 and has proved proficient in surf
awareness, survival, patrol and rescue procedures, emergency care
plus anatomy and physiology.
All members are required to complete a 400-metre swim in 9 minutes
or less, in a swimming pool of no less than 25 metres or over a
measured open water course. Once this competency is completed all
clubs provide qualified instructors who will train you to the level
of a proficient lifesaver. All you need to do is have the right
attitude and commitment to training and anyone is capable of
becoming a surf lifesaver.
At the completion of their training a candidate's physical fitness
is tested by a 200m run - 200m swim - 200m run to be completed in
under eight minutes; a 400m pool swim to be completed in under nine
minutes; simulated rescues using a rescue board and tube. All these
skills combine to train candidates to be an effective member of a
patrol team tasked with providing a safe beach and aquatic
environment.
