With the weather warming up and the spring school holidays upon us lifesaving patrols will start to kick off at beaches across the MidCoast soon.
Surf lifesaving patrols are back on our beaches with both volunteers and Council's contracted service provider, Australian Lifeguard Services, keeping swimmers safe these school holidays.
Lifeguards will be on patrol during weekdays from 9am – 5pm during the school holidays at Bennetts, Elizabeth, Forster Main and One Mile Beaches. Boomerang Beach will be patrolled seven-days-a-week.
In addition, local Surf Lifesaving Clubs will provide beach patrol services on weekends and public holidays at Bennetts, Black Head, Crowdy Head, Elizabeth, Forster Main, Old Bar and One Mile beaches.
Each Last season hundreds of thousands of over 184,000 people visited our patrolled beaches with lifeguards regularly performing preventative actions, rescues and providing first aid.
