COURSE AIM

The aim of this course is to provide participants with skills and knowledge related to surf awareness, aquatic rescue  operations, radio operations, resuscitation, emergency care, spinal management, communication, teamwork and  Surf Life Saving patrol operations.

It is recommended for SLS members who wish to:

• Perform in the role of a qualified lifesaver after the age of 15 years

• Participate in SLS surf sports competitions which require them to  be proficient in the Bronze Medallion as a prerequisite condition

• Progress through the SLS Aquatic Rescue or Power Craft award pathway
