Have you ever thought about becoming a surf lifesaver or getting more involved with Kawana Surf Club?
We’d love to invite you to take that next step. We have one final Bronze Medallion course running in 2026, offering a great opportunity to learn new skills, join a patrol and play a practical role in keeping our beach and community safe.
Course details
Starts: Sunday 1 November
Time: 7:00 am–12:00 pm each Sunday
Duration: Seven weeks
No previous surf lifesaving experience is necessary.
Before enrolling, participants will need to:
• Become a member of Kawana Waters Surf Life Saving Club and hold an SLS Members Area/Hub account
• Obtain a Unique Student Identifier (USI)
• Hold an active Blue Card if aged 18 or over
• Complete a 400-metre swim in nine minutes or less
The swim proficiency must be completed before the course begins. Anyone who would like help preparing can start training immediately with club swim trainer Rod Weller at Kawana Aquatic Centre on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:00 pm. Rod can provide training advice and complete the required swim sign-off.

If the water component isn’t for you, we would also love to hear from anyone interested in completing a Radio Operator course. This qualification has no water component and provides another important way to support our patrol teams and beach operations.
For more information about either course, contact Amanda in the Surf Office on 5444 8642 or email [email protected].
If neither option is calling your name, you can still help by tagging a friend, family member or colleague who might be interested in joining our Blue Star community.
Thank you for supporting Kawana, both on and off the beach.
