Lifesaving
It is now more than ever the case that community
service and growth is vital to the development of the community. We as a
club not only represent a community service in terms of our patrolling
of the beach but also form a strong link in relation to the community
advocacy and growth. Every member who actively involves themselves in
patrolling the beach is servicing the community in a myriad of ways.
The lifesaving section of Maroubra SLSC has gone
from strength to strength over the past decade and now boosts one of the
strongest lifesaving sections in the state. This has been seen through
the clubs strong development of its members as well as the
representation of members through Branch, State and Australian Awards of
Excellence.
Maroubra SLSC has identified our youth of the club
as a priority and will take efforts to develop them through member
development camps as well internal activities aimed at growing the
leadership and potential of our younger members who will go on to take
over the surf club management one day.
The patrolling section of the club is now up to 300
members. This has shown the great growth in our membership due to the
strong leadership and training provided through the club. The training
section represents a vital link in the lifesaving chain due to their
ability to prepare our lifesavers for the beach as well as up-skill
existing members with greater training in order to provide a better
service to the community.
Changes to the Club this year include:
This year will see all SRC members not only
participate in their rostered patrols but also contribute to water
safety for the nippers. This is designed to provide a more active role
for SRC members in the club and allow them to see some of the various
other processes that the club is involved in.
New equipment may be seen on the beach this year due
to the great efforts of our management and our wonderful sponsors from
the Local CDSE (Community Development & Support Scheme). This season we
will be well equipped to manage all situations thanks to a IRB, a Defib,
soft pack oxy-viva, spinal equipment & rescue manikin for training
purposes.
This year once again the club has been asked to help
out other clubs in our branch as well as other clubs in the Illawarra
district. We will be patrolling at Garie in the Royal National Park, as
well as extending our service down the coast to help out Coalcliffe SLSC
& Scarborough-Wombarra SLSC. Please find the dates below. If you are
interested in coming along to any of these patrols just send an email
through to the club or give Trent a call on 0417 880 203.

I encourage that all members when finding a
substitute for any patrol that you ensure a patrol contract is signed by
both parties and placed under the office door. This will protect your
attendance record if your substitute does not turn up. These contracts
are available outside the office. Once completed simply give to your
patrol captain or slide under the office door.
