PHUKET LIFEGUARD CLUB HOSTS SECOND ANNUAL LIFESAVING CARNIVAL

Phuket, Thailand – Phuket Lifeguard Club will be hosting its second annual Lifesaving Carnival on 12 July 2009 at Patong Beach with registration beginning at 08.30. The carnival features eighty lifesaving events in six categories and will culminate in a gala dinner at Le Méridien Phuket Beach Resort, the major sponsor of this year’s festivities. Local and International competitors are invited to attend and register on the day. Surf Lifesaving Club members across Australia are also being invited to join again this year after a very successful carnival in 2008.

A nipper carnival will also be held a day earlier at Patong Beach. The club has successfully run five nipper carnivals at various beaches on Phuket with positive reviews and an average attendance of 100 kids at each event.

Formed in 2003 the Phuket Lifeguard Club is committed to raising awareness of Surf and water safety in Phuket and southern Thailand. Trained under Australian Surf Life Saving standards, club members – most of whom are Thai, work in hotels as ocean and pool lifeguards. The Club runs training courses for Thai people in CPR, first aid and rescue skills.

The Phuket Lifeguard Club has a sister club relationship with Cudgen Headland SLSC in far northern NSW. Last year’s successful inaugural carnival established valuable ties with Lifesaving clubs in SLS Northern Territory, Shoalhaven Heads and North Palm Beach SLSC.
