2014 Surf Rescue Certificate and Bronze Medallion Courses at Mentone LSC
The Mentone Life Saving Club values the contribution of its members and each year we train new and existing
members to gain either their Life Saving Bronze Medallion or Surf Rescue Certificate. Each of these awards
gives the successful candidate the satisfaction of being able to provide an important community service by
patrolling our beach. Obtaining this award will also qualify you to compete at carnivals (U14 and above) and
continue to learn and improve on your life saving skills. In addition to this, Life Saving Bronze Medallion holders
are able to complete their Workplace Certificate II in Public Safety (Aquatic Rescue), a Nationally Accredited VET
Course.
