Lifesaving
 
Now that our cold wet winter is (almost) behind us it’s that time of the year when we start planning for the upcoming 22/23 lifesaving season.

All patrolling members will soon receive an email from their Patrol Captain asking them if they wish to “opt in” to their patrol, so that we can confirm who will actually be patrolling next season. Therefore, please reply to the email from your Captain advising your intentions and if you wish to be included in a patrol team for the upcoming 22/23 patrol season.

To “opt in” means you intend to make the majority of your rostered patrols or do your best to arrange a substitute for any you can’t make it.

Just a reminder if you can’t make any of your patrols, getting a substitute couldn’t be easier using the online substitute application in the SLSA Members Portal, which every member has access to. Simply log in and under the Patrol tab you can request a substitute for any patrols that you can’t attend and also see a list of patrols where others have requested a substitute if you wanted to nominate yourself to fill in for them. The system also sends an acknowledgement email to both people when a swap has been accepted.

Further details see the below green button. 

We acknowledge that some people have difficulty in committing to a roster due to other commitments (e.g. study, shift work, FIFO) yet still wish to patrol and fulfill their community service. If you don’t think you can commit to a roster as per above, there is an option to be on included in an Auxiliary Patrol Team, which means you are not included in the roster and can fulfill your hours by filling in as a substitute for others or attending patrols when you can – please advise the office if you wish to go down this path and we will put your name forward to the Beach Committee to apply for Auxiliary Patrol.

Please note: If your patrol Captain doesn’t hear back from you, you will not be added to any patrol teams.
