Season 2026/27

Patrols

Everything patrolling members need — rosters, expectations, and key contacts, all in one place.

Patrols are the reason our club exists. We encourage every member to get down to as many patrols as possible — it's the best way to meet other members and keep our beach safe.

Fairhaven's core patrolling group, FALCON, provides flexible, high-commitment coverage across the season. See the FALCON Factsheet below, or contact the Club Captain to join.

Patrol Reminders

Arrive at least 20 minutes before your patrol start time; stay after to help pack up. Late arrival or early departure needs the Patrol Captain's permission.
Wear club bathers or plain red bathers under your full patrol uniform. FALCON members wear their own uniform; everyone else collects a clean uniform from the patrol room on rostered days.
BBQ lunch is provided on Sundays and Public Holidays during Period B. During Periods A and C, Sunday/Public Holiday patrols get lunch from the kiosk.
