Education & Training
Our Training
Southport Surf Life Saving Club offers award training for its patrolling members or those wishing to gain the qualifications to patrol the beach as a volunteer lifesaver.
Enrol in a Bronze Medallion or Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) course to contribute to the Community and Club through Patrols and Water Safety activities. Participants enhance their surf awareness and personal survival skills while developing the judgement, technique and physical ability required to safely carry out water rescues. Challenge yourself to swim in rips, learn about the various rescue techniques for conscious and unconscious patients, develop hands-on CPR skills and learn basic First Aid.
There is an expectation that members will commit to Club patrols once they have completed the applicable course. Patrols operate on weekends and public holidays, with the season commencing mid-September and concluding late April/early May each year. On successful completion of the course, you will be rostered to a patrol group and attend a patrol approximately once per month.
