In 2016, Jet Skis were recognised by SLSWA as being a standard item of patrol equipment and were made available for use by clubs in club patrol activities. Whilst not considered mandatory patrol equipment, they have now been introduced by the majority of clubs into patrol activities to extend services outside the flags and improve the resources available to patrol teams.
Members of the Lifesaver Jet Ski Teams will typically be involved in providing patrol services at their club location and water safety services in association with club activities.
These teams are managed by each club, including responsibility for the service roster of each team member.
