Beach Captain Wanted!!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

This season we are looking at holding a weekly training session that is specifically focussed on beach events: – flags, sprints, relays and the 2k run.
Our aim is for the group to include all of those that are keen from U12s up so that this group can develop through the later Junior ages and continue into Seniors.

We are looking for someone (more than one person definitely an option) prepared to run this session (day and time to be negotiated).
We will provide you with all of the support needed (including contact with those at other clubs doing the same role).
So – if you are a bit of a ‘beachie’ yourself and would like to share your knowledge and ‘talent’ and/or you are keen to help out in an area that we are eager to develop please let Karin Humphrey know at kaz412@bigpond.com

Senior training camp

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

We have boooked in the Chiton Rocks SLSC for a senior training camp which is open to all season 15/16 U14s and above, for the weekend of Fri 30th Oct-Sun 1st Nov.

Cost is $22 per person per night, we have received a discount because all qualified attendees will be doing Chiton’s patrol on the Saturday.

All food will be organised for the attendees, which will come at a further cost which will be circulated closer to the event (after the shop is done).

 

Karin Humphrey needs DEFINITE numbers ASAP so the booking can be confirmed. Sleeping arangements are a large dorm, so everyone will need to bring their own sleeping bags and pillows.

 

As our new U14s will not yet have their SRC we will require sufficient water cover to allow them to get the most out of there surf experience.

Let’s get this season underway with a camp that has been so successful at team bonding and developing new surf skills.

Ladies! It’s your time to shine

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

dl_invitation_template-image-003Ladies it is your time to shine. Surf Life Saving SA has introduced their #surfsisterslevelup social media campaign. This campaign is designed encourage and motivate SA women to get involved or enrich their experience in Surf Lifesaving and take it to the next level.

Anyone can level up and you can choose to level up in any way that suits you.

For example; A Nipper Mum might want to do her Bronze Medallion, a Beachie might want to have a crack at rowing boats, you might do the next level up in your first aid training or put your hand up for a leadership role at your club or decide to start your journey as a coach or an official.
click on the links below for some inspiration and opportunities to level up this season!

Seta Bacher is planning to get her Bronze this summer

A big thank you to all the helpers at last Tuesday Port District Cross Country BBQ.

 

The day was a success with over $500 raised through the sale of sausages in bread, cold drinks and homemade cupcakes.

 

Helpers on the day included Nev Schulz, Carl Partridge, Heather Clarke, Steve Weir, Lisa James, Pat Larven, John Stevens and Brad & Trudy Tunbridge

 

All the kids loved the cupcakes that were supplied by Steph Breaden, Trudy Tunbridge, Lisa James, Mardi Lienert, Heather Clarke and Heather Andrews.

 

Thanks to all the families of the runners for their support on the day.

 

It was a great way to start the season raising some much needed funds

 

Thanks Brad

 

***The club would also like to thank Brad and Trudy Tunbridge for organising the day. It wouldn’t have happened without you***

Pool Rescue State Championships – training

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

We are very keen to have a large crew of competitors (individuals and teams) compete at this years Pool Rescue State Champs.

As a result we have organised two training sessions in order to show all of those that are keen (or seriously thinking about being keen) what the events are all about and how much fun these Champs are!

These trainings are to be held at The Parks Recreation and Sports Centre 48 Cowan Street Angle Park on Saturday 13th June and Saturday 20th June from 12-2pm and will be coached by Sean McKenzie and Trent Bampton.

The Club has paid for the lane hire for both sessions with those coming along to train only having to pay pool entry ($4.80 for students, $6 for adults).

We are really hoping for a great turnout for this, the last event, for the 2014/15 season!
