Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) Courses
The SRC is a step along the aquatic rescue award pathway to becoming a fully qualified lifesaver.
Suited to those who are typically moving from nippers to active membership, or someone who has not completed nippers but is looking to join our surf club on patrols as an active member.
Umina SLSC run one course a year at the end of the season in March/April to allow those who are in nippers to reach the minimum age required to complete the course.
The SLSA Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) and its aligned units of competency provide members with skills and knowledge related to workplace safety, radio operations, surf awareness, aquatic rescue operations and resuscitation.
Members who hold this award and its aligned units of competency may patrol in the role of a lifesaving cadet and as water safety personnel for SLS events. Proficiency in this award is renewed each year through SLS Skills Maintenance.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:
- Financial Member
- Minimum Age of 13 years (Membership Category -Junior cadet member 13-15yrs) If not doing Nippers on Sundays.
- Complete an unaided swim of 200 m in 5 minutes or less (goggles and masks permitted) in a swimming pool of not less than 25 m, or over a measured open water course which will be observed before participating in any aquatic training.
