Become a life saver at Bondi and you will have great fun and meet lots of new friends.  The first step to be an active member is gaining your Bronze medallion.  Our volunteers patrol Bondi Beach during the weekends and public holidays over the months of October – April.

Bronze Medallion course

To enroll in the course you must complete a swim of 400m in less than 9 minutes. You will be tested on the First day of your course. 

To become a Life Saver  at Bondi you must be over the age of 15 and complete the SLSA Bronze Medallion course to learn and demonstrate proficiency in surf awareness, survival, patrol and rescue procedures as well as emergency care.

If you are interested in becoming a Life Saver at Bondi by training for the Bronze Medallion please find more details on the course, dates and timings here. 

Transfers from other Clubs

If you already have a current Bronze Medallion and are a member of another surf club, you can request a transfer to Bondi Surf Club through the SLSA members hub.  Please  email the club in advance of the transfer request.
