Life Saving Partner - First National North Haven Real Estate. Life Saving is the core of our club and we are so appreciative of the support of First National North Haven Real Estate.

AWARDS: Top Patrolling Members (50 hours or more this season)
Patrols are our core business and this award highlights how many people our club has who volunteer so much time each year to ensure our patrols are strong. If someone does every patrol they are rostered fo during the season they would do around 40 hours season - this group of people have done at least 10 hours or 25% hours more than the rostered requirement - a fantastic achievement by every one of these people.
Recipients are:
Lou O'NEILL, Paul HOOLE, Michelle BUTT, Peter SMITH, Leanne GOGGIN, Trent SEALE, Kyahan GOGGIN, David GOGGIN, Michelle KIRKWOOD, Isaac SANDERSON, Stephanie LINDEMAN, Jeremy BATE, Raquel SEALE, Preston WILSON, Elaine WALKER, Keith CHARLES, Abby WILSON and John VAUGHAN.
To achieve our goals we require skilled lifesavers to be on patrol. We are so fortunate to have members who have both joined the club and gained their first awards or members who have upgraded awards. We also need to acknowledge the trainers and assessors and members who helped with water safety for training. Thanks in particular to our Directors of Education; Steve Cornell and Paul Hoole in training members for these vital lifesaving awards.
