The Part-Time Bronze program provides participants with the basic skills and knowledge of surf awareness, rescue techniques, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), first aid, communications, and radio operations. The Part-Time Bronze Program is a great way to attain your Bronze Medallion outside of the Club’s extremely popular (full-time / summer) Bronze Camp and start patrolling as an active member at Portsea’s back beach.
