Patrol Season starts this weekend!
This weekend marks the start of our patrolling season.
Woolamai Beach SLSC is a unique club where we not only patrol the coast along Woolamai Beach but patrol Smiths Beach as well. In order to patrol both beaches we need to ensure we meet the minimum patrol requirements.
The club understands that it is a very important time of year for most of our members with exams and school wrapping up however if you are free to come down, we would love the extra hands!
We would appreciate any help this year throughout our patrol season. We will be running the Patrol Hour Award again so make sure you get down and support not only your patrol but others as well
The mighty SANDMAN group will be kicking us off this season!!

Member Training Portal Upgrade
In an effort to make the Member Training Portal clearer and more intuitive, an improved User Interface (UI) has been released.
To learn more about what has changed, please click here https://lsv.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Circular-120.11.23-Release-of-Member-Training-Portal-Updates-2.pdf
When completing the E-Learning for Skills Maintenance, please ensure you complete all awards that are applicable to you. LSV updated this function which prevents members from doing the e-learning for awards they do not hold.
Follow the steps below to complete this process:
Enrol into course by clicking “Yellow Enrol Button”
Lunch into the e-learning by clicking “Blue Launch Button”
Once the E-learning is complete you will see a “Green Completed Button”
For more information and guides on how to complete the above steps, please read our skills maintenance page https://www.woolamaibeach.org.au/skills-maintenance
