The new season is almost here, which means it’s time to refresh and maintain our lifesaving skills. Skills Maintenance ensures all active members are up to date with the latest techniques, knowledge, and safety requirements. Whether you’re patrolling, competing, or volunteering, keeping your skills current is essential to supporting a safe and active club environment.
If you have any questions about Skills Maintenance or upcoming training, please contact our Training Team.
