TORQUAY YOUTH BRONZE CAMP

Each year Torquay Surf Life Saving Club runs a Bronze Camp for youth (under 18 years of age). This year, 2024/25, we are excited to offer this as a residential program, with participants staying at the club for the course duration.

Anyone can undertake the bronze course, lifesaving experience is not a pre-requisite. However, participants must have an above average swimming proficiency which may be required to be pre-tested by a certified instructor.

In addition this year the Youth Bronze Course will also include two additional qualifications to better equip our members. These courses will be:

  • Inflatable Rescue Boat Crew
  • Resuscitation
    • (HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)

Training dates will be held in December prior to Christmas. Location will be at the club house held between the 15th through to the 22nd of December.

This will be an active training camp, where all learners will be expected to be happy and join in daily activities both dryland and in the water.
