Hello Dixon Park Nippers,

The second session of the Bronze Medallion training will be on this Saturday the 9th of January at 10am at the club. As the first session covered most of the resuscitation and theory stuff, this session we’ll expect to get a lot of the practical done, so bring some surf gear and plan on getting wet and sandy.

If you missed the first session, feel free to come along to this one – I’m sure we’ll work out a way to catch up.

IMPORTANTLY, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO THE FOLLOWING:

1. COMPLETE A 400-METRE SWIM IN UNDER 9 MINUTES – I suggest doing this at Charlestown Pool – you just pay the lane fee of $6.50 and the lifeguard there will watch and time you. You can bring the attached POOL SWIM ASSESSMENT FORM and they will complete it for you.

2. COMPLETE THE ONLINE THEORY MODULES – Go to the Members.slsc portal, click the e-Learning tab, the click Log-in to e-Learning, then Training Library, then SLS Aquatic Rescue, then Bronze Medallion. Once you’ve enrolled in the course, then it goes to your “My Training” tab.

Hope to see you there!

Ben
