About the course
This course equips participants with the core patrol and surf awareness skills required to take part in surf lifesaving operations. It is the foundational award for becoming a surf lifesaver at Coogee SLSC and across Australia. Participants will develop skills in surf awareness, resuscitation, basic first aid, and rescue techniques.
The Lightning Bronze is a fast-tracked format designed primarily for participants aged 15 to 30, although anyone aged 15 and over may enrol.
After completing the course, participants will be allocated to a patrol team and expected to patrol at Coogee Beach. This commitment is approximately one half-day shift per month.
