Lifesaving

At Port Noarlunga SLSC, we understand that lifesaving is our number one priority.  Our members take this responsibility very seriously. Members are given many opportunities to further their skills or pass on their lifesaving knowledge to others. To begin with, new members are guided into a bronze medallion group. This provides a great opportunity to learn new skills while meeting other new members.

The bronze medallion is the initial qualification that a person can gain. It is also a pre-requisite for patrolling. The bronze medallion consists of lifesaving theory, practical lifesaving techniques, and physical aspects.

After the bronze medallion is attained, there are many further awards that can be achieved. The achievement of more awards is highly encouraged by the club.

Patrols are a great way to spend time at the beach, and do not require too much work, only vigilance. A patrol group consists of around 10 people, including a captain and vice-captain responsible for leading the patrol.

This year our training and lifesaving areas are being run by a great team; Chief Instructor, Robin PERRY assisted by Club and Vice Captains Paul PERRY and Jodi KAPLER.
