TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
As we prepare for the upcoming season we are pleased to announce our latest training opportunities open to all members.

We currently have a Bronze Medalillion / Surf Rescue Certificate course online and available for registrations - https://mt.lsv.com.au/

We're making the course as flexible as possible. The dates listed on the site will change depending on the groups availablily and we're incorporating remote sessions that you can do from home to help make it more accessible.

This course is aimed at our nipper parents, Age Managers and competition team parents as well as any other members who would like to obtain these qualifications.

Completing the course will allow you to assist with water safety and patrol the beach. This can be a great way to connect with your children and demonstrate to them the importance of volunteering.

We will host an online info session TONIGHT Thursday the 20th of August at 7:30pm to give more details and answer any questions.

Last night the club successfully held its 2026 AGM.

Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their all to the club during the 2026/26 season. Our patrol members, age managers, coaches and administrators give up many hours to make the club tick and we can't do it without you. An extra special thank you to our committee members.

The majority of our committee return for 2026/27 with Nik Foon stepping down from the Gear Steward role and Nick Lund moves from the Club Captain role to Gear Steward, thank you both for your efforts last season. We welcome Stephanie Reindel who joins as the new Club Captain!

We're always looking for more members to assist with smaller roles within the club so if you'd like to get more involved please let us know!

Looking forward to a great season ahead!

REMINDER
2026 Aspendale Life Saving Club AGM is tomorrow night.
Friday 31st July 2026
7pm at the club.

Please join us at this important annual meeting where formal duties will be completed including the election of the committee for the 2026/27 season.

Some of the best conversations happen when there's no pressure.

That's what Mentally Fit Men is about.

A bunch of blokes getting together, having a laugh, talking about life, sharing a few ideas and building stronger connections in the community.

No pressure to talk about anything you're not comfortable sharing.
But you will be encouraged to get involved in the conversation in whatever way feels right for you.

No matter where you're at, you're welcome. Whether you simply want to connect with some good blokes, have a laugh, or join the conversation, we'd love to have you along.

Sunday 2 August
4:30pm - 6:30pm

Hosted by Rohan Parrant
