Our 8 week Bronze Medallion training courses are led by an amazing team of volunteers who dedicate their time to teach beginners. The sessions run twice per week; one classroom based and one on the beach.

Our trainers are Lifesavers who share their knowledge and lead the official Surf Lifesaving Australia Bronze Medallion course.

We would like to introduce some of them to you.
