Members aged 15 and over start with training for their Bronze Medallion, this 6 week course teaches surf skills, resuscitation, rescue techniques and much more. Members aged 13 and 14 learn basic rescue skills in a 6 week course and are awarded a Surf Rescue Certificate. Both of these awards qualify members to do surf patrols.
