THE
HUEY - Our Club Newsletter
Every year
volunteer lifesavers give up their own time to patrol our beaches.
They help thousands of people each summer, preventing them from getting
into serious trouble in our waters.
But that’s
not all there is to Pacific Palms SLSC—whatever your age, interests or
fitness level, there’s a membership just for you.
NIPPERS
From 5—14
years, boys and girls can join our Nipper program and learn surf safety
skills that may save their lives. Our Nippers have lots of fun and
make lots of friends on Elizabeth Beach each Sunday from October to March
each year.
Nippers can
compete in surf carnivals held locally and in other areas.
LIFESAVERS
From 14 years
up, we’ll train you in rescue techniques, first aid, resuscitation, radio
operation etc. Our experienced patrol members will guide you on your
journey to becoming a qualified lifesaver and performing this vital community
service. And along the way you’ll make lifelong friends, improve
your fitness and obtain skills that will be useful in all areas of your
life.
Lifesavers
can compete in surf carnivals held locally, in other centres and even overseas—some
competition areas are surf boat rowing, swimming, board and ski paddling,
beach sprints and flags and ironperson. We have qualified coaches to teach
you the skills—and the rest is up to you!
AWARD MEMBERS
If you’d like
to participate in beach patrols but are not a strong swimmer, join as an
Award Member and learn first aid, resuscitation and radio operation.
You’ll be a vital part of our beach patrols assisting our lifesavers keep
our beaches safe, as well as learning skills you can use in all areas of
your life.
ASSOCIATE
MEMBERS
If you don’t
wish to be involved in beach patrols, join as an Associate Member.
This entitles you to use the showers, toilets and gym, have a cup of coffee
on the deck and you can also train for some awards eg first aid and resuscitation.
PARENT MEMBERS
This membership
category is for parents of Nippers. It entitles you to use the clubhouse
and showers and toilets on Sunday mornings during Nippers. Our Junior
Activities Committee welcomes assistance from parents, whether setting
up the shade tent, bringing gear down to the beach or becoming an Age Manager
and joining in the fun with the Nippers.
