Check Your Patrol Hours

We have been entering your patrol hours manually from LIMSOC until the system starts working correctly. Please check each week that everything is correct.

 

Also check while you are on patrol that you have been entered by your patrol captain into LIMSOC as we have had members left off that list.

 

If you have any queries about your patrol hours please email Bern and Sylvia at patrol-admin@mentonelsc.com


Water Safety At Carnivals

Please send an email to Bern at carnivals@mentonelsc.com if you have done any water safety at carnivals this season so that these can be recorded.

 

This will  be the process for the remainder of this season and it is your responsibility to let Bern know.


Nippers in January

We have a modified schedule for Nippers for January.

 

We will have the following sessions in January.

  • Friday, 12 January
  • Friday, 19 January

We will move back to Sundays for Nippers starting in February.


Mentone LSC Summer Program 2-4 January 2024

We have an annual program for U08-U13 in early January each year.  These sessions expand on key practical lifesaving skills including:

  • Swimming
  • Boarding
  • Lifesaving techniques

We will create separate groups based on ages/capabilities.

 

This 3 day program is a great opportunity to tune up skills prior to Cosy Corner Carnival (5 January) and Mt Martha Carnival (28 January).

 

We encourage parents to also help with water safety. 

 

Sessions will be held the following dates/times

  • Tuesday 2 January, 8:00am – 10:30am
  • Wednesday 3 January, 8:00am – 10:30am
  • Thursday 4 January, 8:00am – 10:30am

 The club asks for $40 for this 3 day program to help fund Nipper programs and activities. If you are keen sign up here.

 

If you have any questions email sport@mentonelsc.com
