Skills Maintenance - SAVE THE DATE!

What is Skills Maintenance?

Skills maintenance is intended to ensure all patrolling lifesavers remain proficient in their skills and display the appropriate knowledge and understanding of the patrol award criteria. All active Lifesavers are required to complete a skills maintenance assessment to show currency in the life saving award/s they hold and wish to retain.

What is assessed at Skills Maintenance?

More information will be provided. Please see below snapshot of what is assessable on the day.

When is Skills Maintenance?

The last 2 COVID seasons, we have had to modify how we conduct skills maintenance by providing multiple session over multiple days. This season, we are going back to the old structure of conducting skills maintenance over 1 weekend.

Please Save the Date (You are required to come for only 1 of the days):

Saturday 3rd December & Sunday 4th December 2022

More information will come out in the coming month regarding the structure.

What can I do to prepare?

1) Renew/Pay your Membership

2) Ensure you have a valid WWCC

3) Ensure you are triple vaxed and have filled in the vaccination status form

Vaccination Note: Anyone above the age of 18 MSUT be tripled vaxed. Anyone between 12-17 MUST be double vaxed
