Caves Beach Patrols 2008/2009


Our 80th season of patrols is fast approaching. This year's season kicks off on Saturday 27th September 2008 and finishes on Monday 27th April 2009.

Our plan is to produce a patrol roster for the first few weeks of the season only. This will be published by the end of August 2008.

Once we have completed our "registration days"**, we will form the other patrols and the patrol roster for the remainder of the season.

NOTE: ALL Patrol Captains MUST have completed a "Basic Beach Management Course"**.

Patrol Requirements

As part of a patrol team you have a basic obligation to ATTEND YOUR ROSTERED PATROLS


If you are unable to do so you MUST arrange for a substitute to attend in your place. Preferably, someone with the same qualifications as yourself. Then, return the favour whenever mutuallyagreeable.

If you have any unforseen problems please call Warren Thomson on 49721029 asap and we will try to arrange a substitute

Patrols rosters are subject to change as membership changes. Refer to this website or the newsletter for changes that may happen. New roster for the 2006-2007 season will be completed by September

Patrol Captain - is this you?

If you think you have what it takes to be one of our Patrol Leaders or would like to find out more about becoming a Patrol Captain or Patrol Vice-Captain, read on.

The Patrol Captain is responsible for the functioning and safety of all members on their patrol and the safety of the general public. Generally the Patrol Captain's job is an easy one, only having to provide guidance to already trained members so that the requirements of the patrol are met.
In the event of a rescue or other emergency, the Patrol Captain must be able to effectively manage their members and members of the public. The decisions that they may have to make can be life altering. It's important that the Patrol Captain knows what their role is and how to perform it.

The Patrol Captain is a role model that members look up to, someone who can provide guidance, training and more often than not, have a big part to play in moulding younger or less experienced lifesavers into great lifesavers. Caves Beach SLSC is committed to producing the best lifesavers on our coast. As a result we are always looking for enthusiastic people to take on the leadership role of Patrol Captain.
The role of Patrol Captain is a rewarding one & we offer a mentor program for patrol captains.

Pre-Requisites
To hold the position of Patrol Captain at Caves beach SLSC you must be:
- A minimum of 18 years of age
- Hold a current SLSA Bronze Medallion
- Hold or be prepared to complete the SLSA Silver Medallion (Patrol Captain)

Still keen? Contact our Club Captain Richard Pembroke (0409 720556 or Richard.Pembroke@tomago.com.au).
