The first step to becoming a volunteer lifesaver at Scarborough Womnbarra Surf Life Saving Club is to obtain a Bronze Medallion (Cert II in Public Safety) Award. The course is available to anyone from 14 years of age (must be 15 years of age at time of the assessment). Training comprises of practical training on the beach and theory.
Courses are normally run through Scarborough Wombarra Surf Lifesaving Club, and if unavailable we can direct you to other Illawarra clubs that may be running theses courses, to fulfil the requirements to patrol our beach.
Some of the practical sessions include:
Signals from the shore or from the water
Once you have gained your Bronze Medallion you will be added to the patrol roster and expected to perform rostered volunteer beach patrols at Scarborough Wombarra throughout each season (approximately one 3.5 hour patrol per month on a Saturday or Sunday). You can then choose to complete other Branch and Club run courses that are on offer. If you are eager to compete at Surf Sports carnivals you can also start training with our water or beach squads and enter carnivals throughout the season.
To enable to you to partake in the training course you must become a financial club member.
