Patrol Roster

All patrols are done voluntarily. It is a great way to give back to your community.

As a member of a rostered patrol, your duties will involve:

• Observing swimmers
• Attending to any minor first aid cases
• Patrolling the beach
• Educating members of the public about water safety
• Radio operations
• Performing any rescues as directed by the Patrol Captain  

The patrol roster is a living document. The link has been emailed to all patrolling members. You are asked to save it as a favourite on your web browser. DO NOT provide the link to non-patrolling members. Please make sure you register your patrols for the season.

If you are having problems with the roster, please contact Anne Tammesild -

Remember: It is your responsibility to organise a replacement/substitute if you are unable to attend a patrol you have rostered yourself for.

Tips for finding a patrol replacement/substitute:

• Be organised and ask early unless it is an emergency.
• Look for someone who has similar qualifications / role to you. A bronze holder asking an IRB driver or patrol captain to do a sub is unlikely to have much success as they are unable to be “paid back”.
• Offer to do a swap with someone rather than just asking someone to fill in for you - e.g. can I do your patrol on Sunday afternoon for you if you do my Saturday afternoon patrol.
• Help others out when you are asked to do a swap.
