Welcome Maggie 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’ve was here for 2 years and rowing surf boats is what drew me in and keeps me in SLS.

 

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

The experience has been great. David T is an excellent coach and I have made some amazing friends.

 

On a lighter side

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

Born in Wondai, QLD (near Murgon). Lived there until I was 7 and then moved to Old Bar, NSW. I did uni at Coffs Harbour and then settled back in Forster – Tuncurry, NSW. Moved up to the Sunny Coast for a 12 month break to live and work elsewhere and ended up staying for 2 years. Mainly to keep rowing with the amazing Coolum Boaties. It is with a heavy heart that I am moving back to NSW.

 

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

Emergency Nursing. Every day is different and I love that.

 

Q – Any nicknames?

Mags, Maggot, Margaret, Moogie

 

Q – Any Hobbies?

Surf boat rowing!!

I also don’t’ mind snorkelling, fishing, boating and running.

 

Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band

Adam Newling, Lana Del Rey, Flight Facilities, Fred Again , Hilltop Hoods

 

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

I can cook. Fresh fish taco’s are my favourite to eat. Not that hard to prepare.

 

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

Yeah, why not. Everything in moderation, right?

 (Yayy!)

Support Coolum Surf Club

Not ready to become part of Coolum Surf Club but still want to help?

It takes a lot of money to run a surf lifesaving club; from the equipment needed on the beach (vehicles, boards, IRBs, first aid kits, defibrillators etc) to administration and training to facilitate patrolling.

So if you can't join us, support us through one of the following options.

Coolum Beach SLSC Nippers

Does your child want to become a Nipper?

Looking for a fun summer sport where your kids will learn essential surf safety skills, gain confidence in the ocean, and meet new friends?

Coolum Nippers is the answer! Nippers run from the September school holidays to February/March and is open to kids from 5 to 12 yrs.

Not only will they learn surf safety and what surf lifesaving is all about, but also have the opportunity to compete in carnivals and have mid-week training to improve their skills.
