The delivery will be very similar to last season (e.g. smaller groups, increased hygiene measures, online content, adjusted activities and revised delivery format).

Under the Victorian Government Worker Permit Scheme, LSV is a named entity as an emergency service that can issue a Worker Permit to workers (staff and lifesaving club members current for 2021-22 year).

Patrol Uniforms and Merchandise
Info on patrol uniforms and merchandise at Woolamai Beach SLSC 2021/2022
Hi everyone
Welcome to the 2021-22 Season!
If you need to organise patrol uniforms or club merchandise, here’s what to do.
Please note that this service is run by volunteers. New helpers are welcome!
Patrol Uniforms
If you’re doing your Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) or Bronze Medallion this season, your core patrol uniform items – shirt, shorts & cap – will be provided to you on successful completion of your course.
If you need additional items or you’re not doing SRC or Bronze, you can purchase some items from the club directly, and some from Surf Lifesaving Australia (SLSA). You must hold a current patrolling award in order to purchase patrol uniform items.
Patrol uniform items you can buy directly from the club:
Shirts
Shorts
Cap
Hat (straw)
Cap (peaked)
Hat (wide brim)
Red trackies (WBSLSC logo)
To order patrol items, go to https://www.woolamaibeach.org.au/merchandise (or go to the club’s website then Home/Merchandise). A click and collect service will operate during school holiday periods and on weekends between December – April, with items to be collected from the clubhouse. Unfortunately no postal delivery is available, as the cost generally exceeds the value of items purchased.
From time to time, additional patrol uniform items can be purchased via the club as part of a group/bulk order (eg waterproof jackets). These can be arranged on a patrol basis and will occasionally be advertised on the Club’s Facebook page.
In person purchases can be made on busy club days, such as the final days of the SRC and Bronze Medallion courses, requal day and key events. These days will be publicised on the Club’s Facebook page.
Patrol uniform items you can buy directly from the SLSA:
Shirts
Shorts
Cap
Hat (straw)
Cap (peaked)
Hat (wide brim)
Red trackies (SLS logo)
Red hoodie
Waterproof jacket
Waist bag
Whistle
Sunglasses
Red bathers
Goggles
Thongs
To order, go to https://sls.com.au/ & click on the Members tab. Log in with your SLSA member details (create an account if you don’t have one). Click on the Memberships tab, then Member Store. Click on The Members Online Shop button. A delivery fee will be applied and SLSA will post your order to you directly (via Australia Post). Note that if you’ve not paid your membership yet, you won’t be able to view the patrol items and instead will only see the public SLSA online store.
Questions?
If you have any questions on patrol uniforms or club merchandise, please email merchandise@woolamaibeach.asn.au (note new email address!).
