All active lifesavers are required to complete a skills maintenance (proficiency check) to demonstrate competency in the lifesaving award/s they hold and in which they wish to remain current. According to SLSA policy, members who are not proficient as of 31 December are not permitted to patrol, or compete in any SLSA competition, until they have obtained the required proficiency. If you do not attend skills maintenance, your awards will expire on 31st December 2022.

You can check your awards via the SLSA members area (navigate to memberships > awards)
