Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester is helping to promote the sun smart message by donating broad-brimmed hats to Lakes Entrance Surf Lifesaving Club juniors.
Mr Chester presented the nippers with new hats on the weekend with 120 juniors participating in this summer’s program.
“It’s fabulous to see the lifesavers of the future learning the skills that will keep them safe and provide a safe swimming environment on the 90 Mile Beach,” Mr Chester said.
“I donate the hats each year to surf lifesaving clubs across Gippsland to ensure our juniors remember to protect themselves against skin cancer while they are enjoying training and competing on our beaches.”
