We have 10 patrol groups this season which means that we will only be rostered on for  6 patrols for the whole season. Please note that during January, the same patrol covers both the 9am - 12noon surveillance (2 members) as well as the 12-5pm normal patrol.

If you cannot make your patrol it is your responsibility to arrange a substitute and let your patrol captain know.

If you do not make any effort to arrange a substitute you will be recorded as ‘no show’ – this will impact on your competition hours & place you in default– so remember to get a sub, you can do this by:

• Calling / asking other patrolling members on the ‘others’ patrol group as they are not assigned to a specific patrol group. The phone listing can be located in the patrol room

• Using the West Beach SLSC Patrols Facebook group to advertise dates in which you need a sub

• Using the Substitute option in the members portal.

• Calling/asking other patrolling members.

Please remember to inform your patrol captain of the change and who will be replacing you on the patrol, also it is your responsibility to do a ‘make up’ patrol at another time – ensure you fill out the patrol log stating that it is a ‘make up’ patrol.

• Yellow Patrol Shirt (as supplied by SLSA)

• Red Patrol Shorts (as supplied by SLSA)

• Red and Yellow Quartered Patrol Cap (is to be worn on the head and secured under the chin at all times when on patrol)

If the weather is inclement and the Patrol has signed on as inclement with Surfcom, warm outer clothing may be worn. Either club Jacket or Surf Rescue Jacket which is approved by SLSA to be purchased at own cost. Members should preferably wear club tracksuits, or red and yellow tracksuits. If the club does not have a tracksuit, then patrol members may wear plain colour tracksuits. 

Jeans or zip up pants are not to be worn.
