Dromana Bay Life Saving Club (Dromana)

Dromana Bay Life Saving Club was founded on June 16th 1997 by a small but dedicated group of volunteers who saw a need for a Life Saving Club in the Dromana community. Since then the club has enjoyed a steady growth of membership to become a dedicated and successful Life Saving Club. The club has trained many members to become patrol members with lifesaving skills and techniques. The club has also introduced water awareness and survival skills when in Port Phillip Bay to hundreds of school aged children.

One of the reasons for Dromana Bay Life Saving Club's success is that it welcomes people of all abilities and ages, from all walks of life, and encourages them to grow as an active member of the club. It is these members that contribute to the welcoming and 'have a go' attitude that exists throughout the Surf Life Saving Australia organisation.

The clubs priority is to maintain a high level of patrols on the beach. We provide water safety, first aid and answer queries from the members of the public. Our Nippers program continues to grow and reflects the swell in numbers of children enjoying water safety activities on beaches all around Australia.

Nippers Program
Dromana Bay Life Saving Club runs a Nippers program each summer. Our emphasis is on teaching water safety skills in a fun environment.
- All junior members must have a parent or guardian that is a financial member of the club.
- All members over 18 years of age are required to hold a Working With Children Check.

Patrols
Dromana Bay Life Saving Club patrols along the foreshore from Anthony's Nose all the way up to the Safety Beach Yacht Club, and our Inflatable Rescue Boats are able to patrol within the beautiful waters of Port Phillip Bay. Our primary focus is ensuring the safety of patrons inside and around the flags. Our flags are set up on the left side of Dromana Pier and usually directly in front of the Club House.

Our Patrol Members respond to various situations from minor and major first aids, aquatic rescues, and assist with other Emergency Services in carrying out tasks.

Becoming a volunteer lifesaver is a rewarding experience, you learn leadership, decision making and responsibility. Every active Patrolling Member of Dromana loves the beach and has plenty of fun hanging out at the Club. There is a serious side to becoming a surf lifesaver and we ask that all members are able to commit to their rostered patrols.

Membership
There are lots of benefits to becoming a member of the Dromana Bay Life Saving Club. You can take part in an extensive and varied program of training to become a patrolling member, from water rescues, first aid training and beach management. Your children are eligible to participate in our popular Nippers program. We also welcome our members to use the club during beach patrols, and also take advantage of the reduced hire rates to host family events.
