Entry-level training
Adult Bronze Program
A flexible club-based pathway for adults who want to earn the Bronze Medallion and become active patrolling lifesavers.
Bronze training that fits around adult commitments
The Adult Bronze Program covers the same core Bronze Medallion skills as the intensive camp, delivered through a more flexible club-based schedule. It is intended for adults who want to patrol but cannot attend the residential Bronze Camp format.
Dates, session times and assessment arrangements are confirmed by the Chief Instructor for each intake. Contact the club before making plans.

- Patrol operations, teamwork and communication.
