Refreshers: Surf Lifeguard, Patrol Support, Powercraft (IRB & RWC) and Instructor/Examiners
SLSNZ requires completion of Refreshers to ensure that members are able to deal with situations that occur in Surf Lifesaving and use Surf Lifesaving equipment in a safe and appropriate way before they are in a ‘live’ patrol situation.
