BRONZE MEDALLION

Thinking of joining the Club and doing your Bronze Medallion?

SLSA - Bronze Medallion Learning & Assessment Guide

Before you can do your Bronze Medallion with North Avoca Beach SLSC, you must:

• Join the Club (and be covered by insurance)
• Complete a Bronze Medallion Enrolment Form (available from the Club) and pay the associated training fee.
• Complete a timed pool swim of 400 meters in 9 minutes and have this certified by an accredited body (such as Kincumber Swim Centre, Gosford Pool etc)

Once you have completed the above, your name will go on the list and one of our Trainers will contact you when we prepare for the next course.   As a rule, courses run for 6-8 weeks, with two sessions per week, one week night for the theory component, and one weekend session for the water activities:-   learning how to paddle rescue boards, swim with a tube, and rescue scenarios.
