TRAINING
Would you like to get more involved and give back to your Club? Our Club does not exist if we do not patrol - so our volunteers who assist with the beach are the backbone of our Club. You do not need to be a sporting hero. We have 3 courses starting in November:
- Observer - no swimming required: This is the starting Award and gives you a taste of Surf Life Saving, once you have obtained this you can complete Radio Operator, First Aid and Advance Resus. Members with Observers can join our Patrol Groups.
- Surf Rescue Certificate - this will allow you to assist with Water Safety and Patrol. Entry requirement: 200m pool swim in under 5 mins.
- Bronze Medallion - this award will allow you to assist with water Safety and Patrol. Once you have your bronze there are many pathways that open up - from competing to getting competencies to allow you in the IRB. Entry requirement: 400m pool swim in under 9 mins.
How does it work? - You need to be a financial member of Eimeo (or if you are already a member you need to have a Members Portal Account)

Surf Sports
Over the weekend our Surf Sports Team competed at the North Australian Championships held at the Mackay ARC and Mackay Harbour. Our team did incredibly well achieving podium standings in and out of the water. A special mention to Madi and Rhys for being selected in the Queensland Country team.
Thank you to our coaches, team managers, age managers, officials, water safety and other volunteers for making the weekend a success. It is always lovely to see some of our foundation Club members at North Aussies Officialling and being part of the Dirty Dozen - thank you John and Andrew Galea!
