Sunday Water Safety
Youth and Seniors hit the water bright and early at 7:30am, which means we’ll need a few keen helpers there even earlier to get everything set up.
We’ll need assistance setting up the water arena and ensuring everything is ready to go. After the Youth/Senior session, we’ll also have our club swim, so a few extra hands for water safety would be greatly appreciated.
Later in the morning, we’ll roll straight into Nippers, so we’ll also need enough volunteers to cover water safety and help with packing up the arena afterwards.
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn the ropes and build your skills — whether you’re a new SRC or Bronze member keen for some board experience, or an IRB Driver or Crew looking for more time on the water. It’s a supportive, team-focused environment and we’re always happy to help you gain confidence.
So please don’t be shy — get in touch and let me know if you can help. The sooner we lock in a great crew, the less stress come Sunday morning!
Water Safety Briefings
With full access to the new club facilities, we’re reintroducing the tradition of a Water Safety briefing before each Sunday Nippers and Tuesday board training session.
These briefings will help us keep accurate records of all members assisting with Water Safety and ensure we can allocate resources effectively.
We understand that some parents and guardians prefer to stay with specific age groups, but taking a few minutes to meet beforehand will make coordination much easier for everyone.
📍 Location: In front of the Patrol Room/IRB sheds
