The next Bronze Medallion Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) course at SALT SLSC will commence with registration and induction (TBA November 2024) in the upstairs of the surf club.
The cost of the course is free; however, you will be required to become a member of SALT SLSC. Payment of your membership will be required prior to the registration night so that you can be provided with materials. It is a prerequisite of the course that you be able to complete a 400m pool swim in under 9 minutes.
The course will include CPR, Advanced Resuscitation, Spinal injury management, Radio Operators and First Aid tuition with these elements being undertaken at the surf club on Wednesday evenings. The water elements include a run-swim-run (200m-200m-200m) in the surf, and simulated rescues using a Rescue Tube and a Rescue Board. The water elements will be undertaken on Sunday mornings at 8am for approximately 1.5 hours per session subject to the conditions.
Please note that you will need to be available to attend the majority of dry and wet sessions.
The assessment will be conducted during the course and will also involve a final “dry” assessment and a “wet” assessment to take place at SALT beach.

The FNC Branch wants to attract young members onto this pathway. The majority of IRB teams across the States are under the age of 29 and consist of nearly 40% young women. The old days and old ways of IRB racing have been updated with professionally managed competitions and safe training protocols.
Bronze holders can first gain their IRB Crew Certificate, then progress towards IRB Driver Certificate.
