Information about award scheme

Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club will host a Duke of Edinburgh information night on Thursday, January 21.

The information session will run from 6pm to 7pm for local 14 to 25 year olds looking to participate in the scheme.

"If you are aged between 14 and 25 years of age then you are eligible to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme," organiser Mr Richard Grimmond said.

"If you are actively lifesaving then you are probably two thirds of the way to completing an award.

"Your patrol hours go towards the community service component of the program.

"If an activity you're doing raises a sweat, it counts towards physical activity whether it's training or competition.

"Get recognised for your achievements and learn some new skills along the way whether they are surf related skills or something like learning to drive a car."

Mr Grimmond said Surf Lifesaving Australia and the NSW Department of Sport and Recreation had developed a map of activities for those involved in lifesaving.

"This means activities you may be already involved in will qualify you for parts of the award," Mr Grimmond said.

"It's about long term dedication and commitment to yourself."

Anyone unable to make the information evening but keen to participate in the program should contact Richard Grimmond on 0414 226 598 for further information.
