Surf Aware One is one of our junior development awards.The focus is on understanding, identifying and demonstrating sunsmart guidelines and dangers that relate to themselves, as well as what it means to feel safe. They learn to recognise whether they are, or someone else is, in an emergency situation and how to get help. Ecosurf discusses the beach environment and communities that surf life saving operates in.Surf sports skills focus on body boarding, wading, dolphin diving, beach sprint starts and flag starts.
 

All juniors in this age group will be assessed on their ability to swim 25 metres in any stroke and float for 1 minute before participating in any water activities at the beach. Children are encouraged to participate in all activities to give themselves an opportunity to develop their skills. Those members that complete this award will receive a Surf Aware One certificate at the end of the season.
