Toowoon Bay SLSC’s aim is to train and educate our active patrolling members to the highest standard, providing opportunities for skills based development to effectively patrol our beach.

The education and training teams at both Toowoon Bay SLSC and Surf Life Saving Central Coast Headquarters provide opportunities for members to constantly add new skills and increase their capabilities as an active patrolling member.

Surf Life Saving offers members a range of lifesaving awards.  Some are required to perform certain roles within a club, and others are aimed at providing further development opportunities for our volunteers.

There are several awards you can gain to start patrolling and courses are available to new or current members.  If you are interested in enrolling in any of these courses, please contact our Chief Training Officer at cto.toowoonbayslsc@gmail.com or contact, Administration Support Officer at office.toowoonbayslsc@gmail.com or have a chat with your Patrol Captain on the Beach.

For more information on where membership with Toowoon Bay SLSC can take you, visit the Lifesaving & Education Pathways page, or the SLS NSW Lifesaving Awards page.
