Become a Surf Lifesaver

Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) is the entry-level award to becoming a volunteer surf lifesaver. It is typically for youth who are 13 years or older and moving out of the Woodside Nippers program, or are new to lifesaving. SRC candidates learn resuscitation, surf awareness, rescue techniques, how to respond to emergency situations and more - gaining skills that could save lives!
