Surf Life Saver of the Week - 21

Published: March 15, 2023

Welcome Adelle Schmidt 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 joined Coolum Surf Club in 2021. Long story but I’m actually a Mexican transfer from NSW (North Bondi) – Go the Blues!

I’d been living overseas until COVID/Work brought me home to Australia and the Sunny Coast.  My bronze had been put on “pause” the maximum time  and I needed to join a club ASAP for my proficiency. I liked the look of Coolum so filled in the paperwork to transfer.  BEST DECISION EVER!!

 

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

All that and more. I love how friendly the club is – always greeted with a smile. And so many sport training/social activities on offer.  Best club (and beach) on the coast.

 

On a lighter side

Q – Where did you grow up? (Assuming you’ve grown up)

Grew up in rough and ready Newcastle aka spewy!

 

Q – What’s the best job you’ve ever had?

Not exactly world’s most exciting, but best job was being a “notetaker” during uni.  For whatever reason, some other students couldn’t write, and I was paid by the uni to attend class and make notes that were then shared.  It forced me to attend class as they weren’t recorded then, and I got paid to study essentially.

 

Q – Any nicknames?

Just Del 😊

 

Q – Any Hobbies?

Love most things outdoors but especially trail running and ocean swimming.

 

Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band

I wouldn’t say it is my favourite but ABC Kids/The Wiggles is currently most played on my spotify account.

 

Q – Can you cook and what’s your favourite dish to prepare?

Nah – Not a great cook.  My biggest skill in the kitchen is being able to poach eggs.  Favourite food would be Mexican anything – so simple.

 

Q – Final & Life defining Question…. Pineapple on Pizza, Yes or No??

Hell No! There is a time and place for pineapple, and it does not involve pizza.

 

Thank you Adelle.
