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.
Skills maintenance activities will be available from November 27th onwards at Woolamai Beach SLSC and the delivery will be very similar to last season (e.g. smaller groups, increased hygiene measures, online content, adjusted activities and revised delivery format).

Questions?
Where to do Skills Maintenance?
Members should aim to complete their annual skills maintenance at Woolamai Beach SLSC. If you wish to partake in a Skills Maintenance session at another club other than Woolamai, please contact training@woolamaibeach.asn.au with the following details: Location of Skills Maintenance, Trainer/Assessor on the day and a picture of your filled in Skills Maintenance Card.
This information is important for our Patrol Captains to show that you have completed Skills Maintenance, and you are a current financial member of the club.
When do I have to do Skills Maintenance by?
All patrolling members should complete relevant skills maintenance activities on or before 31 December each year. Members are still able to complete a skills maintenance after this date; however, the member cannot utilise that skill after the expiry until they complete skills maintenance. Any Member completing their proficiency after 31 December shall not be permitted to participate in any SLSA Championship competition until the 1 July in that year (Refer SLSA Policy 5.4).
Do I have to re-do my IRBD at Woolamai if I complete skills maintenance at another club?
Yes. There is a significant difference between driving an IRB in the bay, rather than at Woolamai. This Assessment can be done on patrol and you will be required to show our Assessors you are competent in performing the duties of an IRBD in the Woolamai surf.
If you have any further question, please don’t hesitate to contact the training team at training@woolamaibeach.asn.au
