Newest SRC Members

Oct 07, 2020

During the second week of the school holidays 15 of our up and coming youth participated in our annual SRC camp at Apex Camps in Mudjimba. Over the four days the candidates pushed themselves with on-water training and theory components. Riccardo C stepped up as our head trainer for the camp and should be extremely proud of the work that he put into it. Thanks to the many club members who helped out with water safety and supervision during the camp.
The assessment on Saturday showed the benefits of the thorough training with all 15 of our members passing and able to demonstrate the skills they had learnt. A special thank you goes out to the assessors and water safety who helped on the assessment day.
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to the 15 youth who obtained their Surf Rescue Certificates. We are excited to see you volunteering on our beaches representing the red and yellow soon!
