All members (including associate members etc.) are eligible to compete in Championship and Pointscore Competition.
However, in regards to:
Surf Events - In keeping in line with requirements set in place with junior activities, members wishing to compete in water events must first complete a Run-Swim-Run to show they are capable in the water. If the competitor is proficient, they are obviously covered.
Beach Events - All members are invited to compete in beach events at any time, however, trophies will only be awarded once the Run-Swim-Run is completed.
