REGO AND PROFICIENCY
Great to see so many of you at Cronulla on the weekend getting proficiency done! If you still need to register and/or complete proficiency there are two steps:
- Complete your registration and payment online - you must do this before attending the proficiency day
- Attend proficiency this weekend, Sat 15 Sept, 1-3pm at Cronulla Beach Swim School
There will be other proficiency sessions scheduled once nippers starts. However, u8-u14s cannot take part in water activities until they are proficient, so please try to get down to Cronulla this Saturday if you can.
Please note:
- full detail on how to register and requirements for proficiency are on our website>>
- please try to complete your registration and payment early to allow a few days for registrations to be processed before the proficiency swim day
- new nippers are to bring their required id documentation to the proficiency swim days
- uniforms and gear will be available for purchase at proficiency (cash or eftpos)
- if you require assistance in completing your registration, contact the Surf Lifesaving Australia IT helpline on 1300 724 006 or our registrar, Nikki, at registrar@wandanippers.com.au
