Bondi Patrol Podcast: Episode 5: Sahn Zanotti; teaching the next generation of surf lifesavers

Glen Frost

Welcome to The Bondi Patrol Podcast; a conversation with the people who volunteer their time to keep Bondi beach safe for swimmers, and run the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club - Our core Mission is to save lives, and we couldn’t do that without our 1500 volunteers and an engaged and supportive community, so thank you, we salute you.

I’m your podcast host Glen Frost, I’m a Volunteer surf life saver at Bondi, and each episode I’ll be meeting with a Club member to hear their story, and to ask them why they volunteer their time. 

In this episode, I’m delighted to welcome Bondi Surf Life Saving Club Member, Sahn Zanotti as our guest. Sahn was born and raised in Brisbane and studied nursing, a career choice she loves and is proud of. Sahn qualified as a Bronzie in 2021, and now teaches the next generation of surf life savers. 

In this podcast we discuss:

1.    Sahn’s background – why nursing? 

2.    Why surf lifesaving? 

3.    How does nursing help you at surf lifesaving? 

4.    What got you involved in teaching the bronze surf lifesaving? What’s involved? 

 

Thank you for taking the time to listen to The Bondi Patrol Podcast

SLSA has over 180 thousand members and over 300 affiliated Surf Life Saving clubs, this the largest volunteer movement of its kind in the world. We exist to save lives, create great Australians and build better communities. 

Sadly over 300 lives were lost at Australian beaches last year– So please, swim at a patrolled beach and swim between the flags.
