Coogee Spring Bronze 2010




I completed the Bronze Medallion & Surf Rescue Certificate Course at Coogee Surf Lifesaving Club this year
It was good to learn some new skills
The physical side of the course was quite challenging
Most training sessions involved some amount of soft sand running, I didn't realise lifesavers had to do some much running!
Qualification for the course required completion of a 400m surf swim under 9 minutes.
The Bronze assessment required completion of a Run/Swim/Run 200/200/200 under 8 minutes, a Theory Assessment - first aid, resus, comms - and a Surf Assessment - rescues and scenarios

Hi Richard,
Congratulations. Hope to see you at a swim this season.

PS: I'm the one that staggers up the beach in the bottom third.
