Program Objective The program aims to provide participants with the basic skills and knowledge required in preparation for becoming senior surf life savers. The program exposes participants to the everyday workings of actual patrols, community-focused activities and further surf life saving training courses. Aims of the Rookie Lifesaver Program
Who can be a Rookie?
Code of Conduct Participants are expected at all times to be courteous, respectful and cooperative to everyone with whom they come into contact when participating program and Club activities. This applies not only to activities on the beach but to any situation in which rookies are representing the program or wearing the rookie uniform.
To successfully complete the two (2) year program, participants must undertake the following activities under the guidance of the Club Captain and the Rookie Coordinators:
Participants will be presented with a patrol uniform (shirt and shorts), broad brimmed hat, and a handbook. This will contain the necessary information as well as charts and checklists to complete to ensure participants learn all facets of surf life saving. Rookies can choose which Patrol they join (they can do patrols with other Rookie friends!)
Rookies have lots of fun and make new friends along the way. There are heaps of activities to attend like the Rookie Sleepover, pizza & movie nights, overnight camps, discos, stand-up paddle boarding, etc, etc, etc. Let us know what you would like to do! Also think of the type of fun equipment you’d like to see/use at the Club. No one will say no if money is raised to buy it! Contact Person: Sue Baker admin@copacabanaslsc.org.au |
