The life savers from the rescue were on duty again on Saturday and posed for a photo. The club will receive a certificate and pair of binoculars.
The rescue took place on Sunday, January 12 when surf patrol volunteer lifeguards on duty on Narooma surf beach sprang into action when a teenage girl from Melbourne lost consciousness out in the breakers.
Saturday also saw the next crop of Narooma surf life savers doing their Bronze Medallion course on the beach under the instruction of Wayne Mulavey and Ben Bate.
Wayne explained an extra late season course had to be added because of the interest expressed by the new recruits, which includes former Narooma High School students Michael Manning and Shane Braithwaite.
Michael recently moved back to Narooma and is keen to be involved with his kids as they do Nippers while Shane is making the commute all the way from Canberra twice a week to complete the Bronze Medallion course, which will see the participants out conducting more rescue training and their doing their timed swim in upcoming weeks.
