🌊👏 Life Membership Awarded to Sebastien (Bas) De Paula 👏🌊

At our recent AGM, we proudly awarded Life Membership to Sebastien (Bas) De Paula in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the club over many years.

Bas's journey with Marcoola SLSC began as a Nipper and has evolved into a lifetime of service, leadership and commitment to keeping our beaches safe. Along the way, he has become one of the club's most respected members, contributing across patrol operations, training, leadership and emergency response services.

To date, Bas has completed an incredible **1,587 patrol hours**, while also dedicating hundreds of volunteer hours to training and mentoring fellow members. As a Trainer, Assessor and Facilitator, he has helped develop countless lifesavers and played a significant role in building the capability of our club.

His contribution extends beyond Marcoola through his service as an SLSQ Duty Officer and SurfCom Operator, supporting lifesaving operations across Queensland.

Throughout his membership, Bas has held numerous leadership roles including:

🛟 Junior Activities Water Safety Officer
🛟 Vice Patrol Captain
🛟 Patrol Captain
🛟 Club Captain
🛟 Youth Development Committee Member

His repeated appointment as Patrol Captain reflects the respect and trust he has earned from fellow members over many years.

Life Membership is the highest honour our club can bestow and recognises exceptional and sustained service to Marcoola SLSC. Bas's dedication, leadership and willingness to support others embody the very best of our club.

Congratulations Bas and thank you for your extraordinary contribution to Marcoola Surf Life Saving Club and our community. ❤️💛

🙏💙 A sincere thank you to Steve and the team at Coolum Motors for their incredible support of the Marcoola SLSC Nipper Program during the 2025/26 season!
Thanks to their generous sponsorship, every one of our Nippers received a brand-new rash shirt, helping them proudly represent our club while staying safe and comfortable throughout the season. 🏖️🌊
At a time when funding options had been exhausted and we were facing challenges delivering the program our young members deserve, Coolum Motors stepped up when we needed it most. Their support allowed us to continue providing a safe, modern and rewarding experience for our Nippers and their families. ⭐
Steve, your willingness to help at a critical time truly made a difference. Your support didn't just fund rash shirts, it helped ensure the ongoing success of our Junior Activities Program and supported the next generation of volunteer surf lifesavers. 🏊‍♂️🚩
On behalf of all our Nippers, families, volunteers and the Junior Activities Committee, thank you for your commitment to our club and our local community. We are incredibly grateful for your support. ❤️💛
