Thanks Patrol 3
Published: October 11, 2023 Last Updated: October 12, 2023
We would like to acknowledge the efforts from Patrol 3 last Saturday afternoon (7th of October 2023)
Dan R and Gordon W, along with the Waverunner, stayed out on duty until 6:00pm in closing darkness and atrocious condition (pelting rain and hectic seas) to assist in the search for a reported missing craft user. SurfComm put out the request just on packup (not uncommonly) and they assisted until they were requested to stand down just after 6:00pm
A special mention for the others on Patrol 3, especially Helen Clifton, Nicole Woods and Kathy Sundstrom. As just as packup was completed, an elderly patron attending the Back To Coolum function had a nasty fall resulting in bleeding injuries. These ladies, headed by Helen, tended 1st aid to the gentleman after they had clocked off duty. Once the patient was stabilised, Kathy and her husband assisted in getting him to the hospital and then back to his home in Tewantin.
Their time to be there for the patient, in abnormal circumstances and hours, is appreciated.
Big congratulations to all involved for going well above and beyond what is expected of them!!
A volunteers time is always appreciated
Thanks Team

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

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.
