There are additional competency tests required to be conducted on the beach and these will take place throughout the season.  The requirements are set out in the table below.  For children to be eligible to compete at carnivals they must have completed the beach competency assessment set out below by an eligible assessor (which the Club will provide).  We will try to complete the proficiency assessments within the first two weeks of the start of the season.
