This is open to all U14s, Seniors and Masters.

First Aid State Champs are to be held on Saturday 15th November (venue and time to be confirmed).
We are looking for members that are keen to participate in this event. First aid is a two person team event where competitor’s must utilise their first aid skills over a 12 minute scenario.
We are also looking for a coordinator that would be interested in developing a first aid squad over a number of years. You will be given assistance in learning and understanding how the event works.
First aid is run from U14s up to Open.

Time to think about getting organised for the start of the season.
Patrol Uniforms and Club bathers will be available for purchase from the club this Saturday September 13 9.30am – 11.30am and Sunday September 14 9.30am – 11.30am.
There are also a few ‘sale’ items available but you’ll need to get in quick to get the best pick of these.
The 2014/15 season is now only a month away! We have trained hard through the colder months in the water with board and ski and many have ventured to the pool for swim sessions. It is now time to add beach training into our schedule. Starting Sunday September 14th Jeff Bampton will be running beach training sessions. Initially these will run in conjunction with Kirsty Low’s Bootcamp but as the season gets underway and Bootcamp winds up this training will likely move to late Saturday morning after ski and board training. We are looking at making the beach training sessions discipline specific with a focus on sprints, relays, flags and the 2k run. Jeff will have a program that will include fitness tests. This training is available for ALL Masters, seniors and U14s that are keen to either focus on beach disciplines and/or improve their ability in this area.
Are you keen? Come and join the Bootcamp crew at 9am Sunday 14th September for warm-up. Jeff will then take his group for a 45-60 minute beach training session. The club will be open for breakfast and coffee afterwards.
Saturday mornings (23/8) board and ski training has been shifted to Sunday morning. Please meet at the club at 7am to head to the mid coast. Bring shortboards for a surf afterwards if you can stay. If you have to come back earlier for prior commitments own transport must be organised, otherwise there will be enough transport provided.
You asked for it and it’s finally here! You can now renew your membership and pay online!
No more waiting inline at the club. This year online membership payments and renewals are finally here. You can even pay your competition levy at the same time and get an itemised receipt. For all the details of how to do it, go to the membership page and see the handy how-to video or follow the step by step image guide at the bottom of the membership page.
The process is pretty straight forward but you will need to ensure you input the correct amounts and itemise your inputs manually. Unfortunately this is a limitation of the payment gateway provided to us however there is a handy price list both on the payment screen at lifesavingonline.com.au and on the membership page.
If you pay before the 26th of October (online or at the club) you will get an early bird discount. Full discount details are available on the membership page and dates and times for membership payments and renewals in person will be published soon.
We understand that not everyone has a credit card or likes to pay online but paying at the club does result in a lot more manual work. So as a special reward for online payments before the 26/10/2014 you will also receive 10% off at the Bistro. Just bring your online receipt (an email on your phone/iPad or a printed version) in before the end of October 2014 and show the staff when ordering to claim your discount.
Ski training Saturday morning, please meet at the club 7:15am sharp. Try to be on water by 7:30am.
