As we head towards the school holidays and, hopefully, some beach weather, we once again approached Scott McKenzie from the Port Campbell Surf Life Saving Club (PCSLSC) to help raise awareness of surf and water conditions and to provide key water safety messages for our junior students. Scott, Sean Lenehan, Guy Faber, Alysa Hibburt and Delys Jones from PCSLSC generously gave their time to provide targeted, age appropriate safety messages to our junior students. Our guests described their roles at PCSLSC and the opportunities to train and compete in Club events across Australia with their surf boat teams. Scott outlined basic water / beach safety, swimming between the flags, identifying rips and the Life Saving Victoria Nipper Program. Sean introduced modern life saving procedures using drones and students could see the flags, IRBs and surfboats that are used for training and competition exercises. The Club members demonstrated how to perform CPR and students were given the opportunity to practice CPR on the Club’s mannikins. Our guests encouraged students and their families to enjoy our waterways but to be safe over summer with the main messages from today's sessions being- Don't underestimate the water, Swim between the flags, Don't swim alone, and Call for help if necessary!
