BEACH PATROLS

The Club provides beach patrols by rostering Active members aged 13 – 30 years and above to patrol squads. These squads are then placed on a roster involving attendance at the beach for a day or weekend at varying frequency depending on the Club’s Active membership strength.

Members aged over 30 with current Bronze Medallion are welcome to turn up and join any rostered patrol.

A member’s function within a patrol can vary depending on their qualifications and can include first aid, rescue boat crewing, radio room operation, foot and four wheel drive patrols. As well as providing a service to the public, beach patrols play an important role in the team spirit of the Ocean Grove Club.

Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving patrols will commence on Saturday 9 November 2024 at Ocean Grove Main Beach and continue on weekends and public holidays through to Monday 21 April 2025. For all the dates and times, please view the patrol roster on this website.

Australian Lifeguards patrol during the week from late November through to February at Ocean Grove Main Beach and from Boxing Day through to late January at RAAFs.

PATROL UNIFORMS

All patrolling members are required to wear a specific uniform, in order to be easily identified by the public and peers when on patrol.  Shirt, shorts, cap and/or hat are issued to patrolling members on completion of their SRC/Bronze Course.

To replace lost, worn out or grown out garments, a subsidised fee is charged. All uniform items are available to purchase from the club house during office hours.
