This course is run twice yearly at the Club and is open to everyone aged 15 years and over. You must be 15 years old on the day of the dry assessment. This course provides a number of benefits for you, your family, the Club, and the community including:

• Surf awareness including spotting rips, how to swim and navigate through various conditions
• Surf rescue skills which could be used to help a loved one in emergency situations
• Improved fitness – just in time for summer!

The Bronze Medallion also:

• Helps your children at Nippers – there is a mandatory number of Bronze Medallion holders required present per children in the water as often we do not have enough Water Safety representatives

Overall, the course provides one with a sense of accomplishment, a cool medallion, and confidence with your family at the beach!
