Education & Training
Our patrols continue to strengthen with the increase in awards gained each year and the great commitment given by all patrolling members.
Our trained members voluntarily patrol Twilight Beach on Sundays and public holidays during the summer season. Club activities are held on Sundays with additional trainings held mid-week. A range of beach, water competitions and activities for Senior and Junior members are regularly held. Our training includes practical, on-the-water sessions and an online eLearning component, designed to equip participants with skills in rescue techniques, first aid, and patrol operations. Led by our experienced trainers, this course is ideal for those keen to play an active role in beach safety.
Sessions are held over several weekends with shorter morning times, making it accessible for families and busy members. All participants must be current financial members to begin training.
