Congratulations to Cooper Armstrong, in Year 8 and a rookie member of the Terrigal Surf Lifesaving Club, for his recent involvement in a surf rescue between Terrigal and Wamberal Beaches. While on roving patrol with another rookie club member, Cooper swiftly responded to an alert from a member of the public on a surfboard. Cooper and his club mate effectively assisted two struggling swimmers caught in a rip, maintaining composure and ensuring the safety of the patients, keeping them above water, until IRB assistance arrived.  One of the patients was having breathing difficulties after swallowing a large amount of water and was later transported via Ambulance. This outstanding achievement by Cooper exemplifies excellent use of skills acquired through SLS training. A great effort Cooper and one to be extremely proud of.
