Patrols are a great way to give back to your community. Each patrol member is identified by wearing the distinctive red and yellow patrol uniform which consists of red shorts, yellow shirt, red and yellow quarter cap and a red hat. The uniforms are supplied to you by the Club. Patrols are rostered for Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays during the summer season.
At the commencement of each season, the Beach Operations Committee will meet to form the Patrol Teams for the Season. There are typically 14 teams comprising 15 to 20 members with various awards necessary to undertake their duties.
