Surf Life Saver Profile - 34
Published: November 23, 2023
Welcome Sanet 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 feel like I’ve always been there.
However, it has only been a few years and I ask myself, why didn’t I join earlier.
I don’t think I have ever met a group of people that are so caring, giving and genuine. I feel privileged to be part of the club.
Q – Is your experience so far what you thought it would be?
Way better!
Our own beach house with ping-pong tables and a coffee machine.
On a lighter side
Q – Where did you grow up? (Assuming you’ve grown up)
I grew up in South Africa, in a big city called Port Elizabeth.
Growing up was the opposite of life in Coolum Beach.
I had very little or no contact with beach life or swimming.
Q – What’s the best job you’ve ever had?
Definitely being a mum
No-one really knows how to go about it. You base it on a combined version of your own upbringing and your partners. It is a roller coaster of rides of highs and lows. And your remuneration comes in the shape of a hug or smile, which is worth more than any amount of money
Q – Any nicknames?
Q – Any Hobbies?
Too many hobbies. My most favourite is yoga.
I love teaching and I love yoga – an awesome combination.
I also love walking. Especially if bushwalking. There I a sense f freedom in taking a backpack and just going for a walk.
Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band
Tina Turner! What a legend!
Simply the best 😉
Q – Can you cook and what’s your favourite dish to prepare?
I love spending time in the kitchen. Baking is like therapy. (Except I stopped when it became harder to lose weight)
I cook mostly the same dishes, Mulligatwny, spicy Indian soup, Dhal.
You cannot beat lentil soup. Delicious and cheap.
Also one of my all time favourites; Thai pumpkin soup and of course, Bobotie South African spicy sweet mince pie.
Q – Final & Life defining Question…. Pineapple on Pizza, Yes or No??
NO!
….Pumpkin, yes!

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.
