There are many options available to get involved in the Merewether Surf Life Saving Club. These opportunities range from becoming a patrolling volunteer surf lifesaver, competing in Surf Sports events, assisting in various ways around the club to becoming a social member.
There are two areas of the club depending on the joining age of the new member. Refer below for details of specific membership types.
Cadet Members aged 13 & 14 learn basic rescue skills and are awarded a Surf Rescue Certificate. Active Members aged 15 & over are instructed in their Bronze Medallion and must also complete a 400 metre pool swim in 9 minutes or less. Members must also perform an annual proficiency check after they obtain their Bronze Medallion.
Associate Members are those who wish to participate with the club but not necessarily involved with patrols. Members must be financial in order to patrol, compete or attend club activities. This is a compulsory requirement which covers legal and insurance policies. Those wishing to compete must complete a minimum 25 patrol hours over a calendar year.
