Surf Life Saving WA’s Youth Recognition Program (YRP) offers youth members (U14 – U17) the opportunity to formally record their experiences and service and receive recognition for doing so.
The YRP entails three levels – Bronze, Silver, and Gold – for youth members to work towards achieving. Each level stipulates certain requirements and experiencing of various roles associated with the surf life saving components of Lifesaving, Training and Surf Sports.
- Bronze recording sheet – a minimum of 60 hours in total and must include at least four hours across each of the program’s components.
- Silver recording sheet – After attaining Bronze level. A a minimum of 80 hours in total and must include at least six hours across each of the program’s components.
- Gold recording sheet – After attaining Bronze and Silver levels. A minimum of 90 hours in total and must include at least eight hours across each of the program’s components. This usually takes at least two years to achieve.
As well as accruing hours through club based activities, SLSWA offer a number of Youth Courses that you can also participate in and accrue hours through.
By creating well-rounded members with broad experiences across a range of disciplines, we will ensure that surf life saving offers ‘something for everyone’ and lifelong participation pathways for all.
