Community members thank our patrols for saving their lives!
Community Engagement at our surf club, its nice to be recognised.
Over the past couple of weeks we have had members of the community thank our members in person, on social media about the assistance they have given...whether it be rescues or first aid treatment.
Comments like, " You saved 4 of our family that day thankyou so much" & 'we have gone home today because of you guys, thankyou so much' Another person said 'I'm a strong swimmer but got caught in a rip I don't know what would have happened if your female lifesaver wasn't there. Quite possibly could have been my last day.'
Its what we do but it is nice that people do acknowledge the great work that surf lifesavers do in a voluntary capacity.
2 families have made a donation into our surf bank account for saving their lives...special thankyou
A lady after having a fall near the cycleway prior to patrol starting was given first aid treatment by 2 of our members. Lovely thankyou letter & chocolates.
Another lady who had difficulty breathing whilst leaving the beach was treated by members given Oxygen Theory until NSW Ambulance arrived. She was assessed & aloud to leave the beach with her family. She came back down to the beach a couple of weeks later with a nice gift…Lebanese sweets/treats for our lifesavers.
Well done to all our members, keep up the good work
