Patrol Teams

North Cottesloe SLSC runs a rostered patrol system of approximately 20 teams who are rostered from October through to March each season. Each team has 5 patrols of 4 hour blocks.

All active lifesavers must earn a minimum of 16 patrol hours per season through one of the following options:

  1. Patrolling as part of a patrol team

  2. Service in a powercraft team, such as the IRB (Inflatable Rescue Boat) or Rescue Water Craft (RWC) Sections

  3. Nipper Water Safety or Age Group Manager volunteering

  4. Service Hours, as approved by a Club Officer - this can only be a maximum of 12 hours of your total 16 hours.

Nominating to a team

Nominations for patrol teams usually open every September in the lead up to the Patrol Season. The initial nomination form will close on a specified date and members will be allocated to teams.

New members can nominate at any time, however, you should note that submitting your team preferences does not gaurantee you will be allocated to a specific patrol - especially if it is full.

Late submissions and preferences will be accomodated on a case by case basis and where the operational capacity of the patrol team is not compromised.
