24 of Queensland’s best young surf lifesavers across Queensland have spent the week on the Sunshine Coast taking part in the 2022 Lifesaving Development Camp.

 

The participants aged from 15 to 17 years have undertaken a range of activities and scenarios which will provide them with additional qualifications to help saves lives.

 

Today the participants took part in a car crash scenario to test their first aid skills.

 

SLSQ Membership Training Manager Sam Clutterbuck said the training will help prepare participants for realistic situations they could face both on and off the beach.

 

“They are taking part in a range of single and multi-patient scenarios,” he said.

 

“Not only will this put their first aid skills to the test but they will also learn how to manage incidents with multiple casualties involved.

 

“They will need to work together to treat a range of injuries varying from minor lacerations to amputations and cardiac arrests.”
