We are fortunate to have a small gym space at our surf club, available for use by our patrolling members and competitors. Our gym is designed to help our athletes reach their full potential, and they receive priority access to the facility. Our patrolling members dedicate a significant number of volunteer hours each season to keep our beach safe. As part of their membership, they have full access to the gym to stay fit and healthy. Competitors must complete a minimum of 25 patrol hours per season to be eligible to compete for the club. They also use the gym for extra training, during bad weather or when they cannot train on the sand or in the surf.
Recently, we've received several requests for gym memberships from teens and young adults who are interested in using our gym because it's close to home or their friends work out here. To be eligible for a gym membership, individuals aged 14-34 must be a financial member for the season and hold at least a current Bronze Medallion (or Surf Rescue Certificate for rookies). They also need to be part of a patrol team and actively patrol the beach from September to April each year. We offer SRC and Bronze Medallion courses throughout the season, with all course fees fully covered by the club. If you are interested in doing your SRC or Bronze and becoming a patrolling member please get in touch with Kristy in the office (office@avocabeachslsc.asn.au).
We offer a paid gym membership for associate members over 35 years but this is for over 35s only, it cannot be purchased for use by anyone under 35 as they will not be covered by insurance in the event there is an injury.
Members with gym access are expected to follow the gym rules at all times and to tidy up after themselves. Equipment should be wiped down after each use using supplied wipes. Shirts, shorts and enclosed shoes are required for every workout. Please don't use the gym if you are dripping wet after coming out of the surf. Members not abiding by the gym rules may be asked to leave and have their gym privileges revoked.
