Star Patrol

Star Patrol prepares swimmers for the Bronze Star Award. Refine strokes through 100 m swims. Good physical conditioning is a must as swimmers are challenged with a 600 m workout, 300 m timed swim, and a 25 m object carry. First aid focuses on treatment of bone/joint injuries, and respiratory emergencies like asthma and allergic reactions. Lifesaving skills include in water defence methods, rolling over and supporting victims in shallow water, and removing victims from shallow water. Swimmers who complete Star Patrol are well on their way to becoming Lifesavers.
