2019-2020 Life Saving - highlights
With these strange times with Covid-19 we have been highlighting areas within our surf club & how the season unfolded. We have 2 areas to comment on...Life Saving & Surf Sports are 2 big areas where our members shine.
Today's post is about Lifesaving, our core volunteer business. Lead expertly by our Director of Life Saving Markus Meier-Lindner, his leadership & guidance to all the patrol teams is outstanding. Our equipment is always rescue ready, communication to our members is first rate.
Today should have been the last day of season 2019/2020 patrolling our beach, but instead we pulled the red & yellow flags down 5-6 weeks ago due to Covid-19.
There is no better feeling than pulling on the red & yellow patrol uniform making sure the community is safe whilst visiting Bulli Beach. The mateship & interaction between our members when on patrol builds a great culture.
We still have the proud history of 107 years our members patrol the beach & no lives lost!
