The Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) provides participants with the basic skills and knowledge of surf awareness, rescue techniques, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, communications, and radio operations. The SRC is a great way for candidates to engage as a team and improve their fitness!
SRC is an excellent opportunity for participants to begin developing and practising their patrol skills. After attaining your SRC you can patrol at Portsea Back Beach as part of a PSLSC Patrol.
