Train to be a Surf Life Saver

Becoming an active member of Garie SLSC enables you to participate in a wide range of SLS activities. The core duty of our organisation is to provide patrol coverage for our scenic 900 metre stretch of sand. The patrol area is just one part of the club, where lifelong friendships can be built. Volunteer patrol work can be a very rewarding experience, where you find yourself a part of a multi skilled team with a common goal.

From gaining the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) you can join a patrol as a cadet member, or Bronze Medallion (BM) as an active senior member, there are then many other SLS educational opportunities available through our club. Advanced Resuscitation Certificate, Spinal Management, Silver Medallion Beach Management, offshore Rescue Crew Certificate, offshore Rescue Boat Driver, are just some of the SLSA certificates that we encourage our patrolling members to attain in the course of their duties.

Join Nippers

 The Junior Activities Program or “Nippers” as they are affectionately known, is the “nursery” of future Surf Life Savers. This legendary initiative has seen tens of thousands of Australian children learn the core values of SLSA, whilst enjoying friendships, families, fitness and junior competition.

At Garie our Nipper Program is supported by an outstanding team of Junior Activity Committee (JAC) volunteers, who are more than willing to help ease any new members into the fold. There are opportunities within the program for parents to gain SLSA water safety certificates to become involved with their kids in enjoying the beach. Some cold refreshments, and a “couple of snags” on the BBQ at Garie have always been a popular  way to enjoy our unique surrounds, for Sunday lunch with the kids, where a great family atmosphere always prevails to enrol your kids in nippers click here, if you would like to volunteer at nippers contact nippers@garieslsc.com.au
