Patrols generally commence mid-September each season
Tugun volunteer members patrol on Saturday and Sundays between the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
There are 2 patrol times: 8:00 am – 12:30 pm or 12:30 – 5:00 pm
Please remember to allow additional time before and after these times for set up and clean up.
Members must be a financial and proficient members of the Club each season to undertake patrols.
Remember to sign the patrol roster “sign in” sheet so your hours are recorded.

The patrol season commences 17 September 2022 and will finish on 1 May 2023.

Limsoc is the patrolling app located on the Patrol Ipad and is used for patrol sign on/off, recording statistics and incident reports.
From 1 November new upgrades are being undertaken, to enable members to sign on/off patrol, with the goal of becoming paperless, so it is really important you have access;
To access Limsoc, you will need to first complete the training (Click here – LIMSOC 2021 Update);
Attached is a 2021 LIMSOC User Guide outlining the new upgrades;
The logon for training is your SLSA Member Area User Name and Password;
If you completed last season, there is no need to do this again;
When the training is completed, please advise the Club Office (surfadmin@tugunslsc.com.au), so your access to Limsoc can be approved;
To log into Limsoc on patrol you will need to use your SLSA Member Area User Name and Password.
We would recommend you keep this handy, for easy reference during patrol.

Members can make use of the closed Tugun SLSC Patrolling Members Facebook group to find patrol swaps / substitutes
Where possible remember to let your Patrol Captain know.
General rule “the member who signs into the patrol log will receive the patrol hours”

Patrol Members must wear the correct Red and Yellow Quartered Cap, and patrol uniforms during patrol hours.
Patrol uniform must not be worn outside of patrol times or in the licensed areas of the Club.
Please remember to tag out any defective gear, and report the defective gear to the Director of Lifesaving or Club Office
