Welcome Shane and thanks for sharing with us

 

So let’s get deep and meaningful straight up

Q – How long have you been in Coolum Surf Life Saving Club and what  motivated you to volunteer your time?

I have been in the CBSLSC since July 2022, when I started the Bronze Medallion course. The missus was joining; decided to sign up with her.

 

Q – Is your experience so far what you thought it would be?

I like to keep my expectations low; I’m rarely disappointed 😊

But so far, the CBSLSC has been great!

 

On a lighter side
