THE BENEFITS OF LENDING A HELPING HAND In eNews, M THE BENEFITS OF LENDING A HELPING HAND In eNews, Media Tags #enews, #multicutlural, #watersafety, CALD October 19, 2020 15 Views lsvmedia In the past decade, Life Saving Victoria’s Multicultural Services department has trained around 130 lifesaving club volunteers, 260 pool lifeguards and 60 swim teachers, but it has been the aquatic centres and lifesaving clubs that have benefitted the most. Bonbeach Life Saving Club has welcomed CALD programs for the past four seasons and president Lloyd Thomas said it had been amazing for all involved, including the local community. “We got as much out of it as the participants and there’s nothing but positive things to say about the programs,” he said. The club has learnt to bridge the gap for children and youth who haven’t grown up in a lifesaving culture, or even with any knowledge of the ocean, and part of that is making them feel welcome and able to treat the club like a second home. “We keep in touch with them all year round and that’s been the biggest key for more engagement, because they don’t join up as a family like many other members do,” Mr Thomas said. “Last season, we retained the most participants as club members than we ever have.” He said club members around the same age as the CALD participants get involved with the CALD program delivery, which also helps with building strong bonds within the club, as well as engagement. “We had a high female participation last year in the CALD programs, which has been fantastic,” Mr Thomas said. “Last year, six females stayed on and patrolled, as well as one brother and sister.” Most of the participants come from Afghanistan or Pakistan and many have never seen the ocean before. “Once they get over the initial fear of the ocean, they get out there and have a ball,” Mr Thomas said. “Our other volunteers may say it’s too cold, but never our CALD participants and it’s really helped build the depth of our volunteer patrol pool.” A new generation of lifeguards from diverse backgrounds are watching over swimmers.

VOLUNTEER PROFILE: ZAABI JALALI In eNews, Media Ta VOLUNTEER PROFILE: ZAABI JALALI In eNews, Media Tags #enews, #watersafety, CALD, Multicultural October 19, 2020 19 Views lsvmedia For this month’s volunteer profile, we catch up with Bonbeach LSC youth patroller Zaabi Jalali, who is now into his fourth season at the club and is also one of LSV’s casual multicultural team members. Current Club: Bonbeach Life Saving Club. How long have you been involved in lifesaving? It’s been nearly four years that I’ve been involved in lifesaving. Why did you become involved in lifesaving? The four-year journey with LSV has involved different volunteering activities and multiple programs that were running through the Multicultural department. these have helped me learn more about water safety and enable me to teach others. I have gained experience that I now realise is important to give back to the community. What are some of your responsibilities at your club? I’ve done many qualifications, including Surf Rescue Certificate, Bronze medallion, IRB Crew, Spinal Management and First Aid. The responsibilities I carry out are to maintain the safety of people at the beach and follow-up the club protocol to report any hazards. What do you enjoy most about lifesaving? I enjoy working in a positive team to achieve a set outcome. How do you encourage others to get involved with lifesaving and volunteering? By sharing my experience and guiding others about the importance of working as a lifesaver. What is your greatest achievement in lifesaving so far? Working with LSV’s Multicultural department as a water safety instructor. When you’re not lifesaving, what keeps you busy? I usually keep myself busy with my school studies and working with a non-profit organisation called Nasle Baba, where I am the volunteer media and training officer. Current LSV volunteer roles: Patroller and IRB Crew.
