Providing Opportunities For Our Youth to Become Life Savers

Written By Sara Lane

Intensive SRC to Bronze Medallion Course Occurring in January 2024

Our Club Educators have had a busy few months in not only supporting current members to become proficient for the summer ahead, but also with supporting new and returning members gain their Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) and Bronze Medallion (BM).

For those members who currently hold their SRC, but were not able to gain their Bronze at their club, Surf Life Saving SA are once again hosting an intensive SRC to Bronze course over four days in the January School Holidays.

The course provides participants with skills and knowledge related to surf awareness, aquatic rescue operations, radio operations, resuscitation, emergency care, spinal management, communication, teamwork and Surf Life Saving patrol operations.

At the end of the four days, participants will gain the following awards and qualifications:

  • Bronze Medallion

  • First Aid

  • HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

  • HLTAID010 Provide Basic Emergency Life Support

  • HLTAID011 Provide First Aid

  • PUA20119 Certificate II in Public Safety (Aquatic Rescue)

The course will be delivered from 15th - 19th January, 2024 and held at Surf House and at Moana SLSC.

Please see below for more details including how to register.

Be quick, spots are limited.
