Every member of your team will have a role to perform during a patrol, and roles may change throughout the day. The role you are allocated by your patrol captain may be influenced by any number of factors, including:
- Any changes in the number, behaviour and activities of beachgoers from time to time
- The need to ensure all team members are engaged, and are provided the opportunity to develop their skills in all aspects of patrol operations through training opportunities and appropriate mentoring from those with more experience
- The prevailing surf or weather conditions and their influence on the patrolled areas
- Your awards and qualifications, and those of the other members of your team
- Your own particular skills and experience, and those of the other members of your team.
