Patrol Swaps

This season, Bronte SLSC will be using the Patrol Swap functionality accessed via your SLSA Members Area account.

Patrol Swap Process

To arrange a substitute for a patrol you are unable to attend, please follows these steps:

  1. Let your PC know what date you are unable to attend and that you are looking for a substitute
  2. Log into your SLSA Members Area account and raise a substitution request. Instructions on how to do this are outlined below.
  3. Post a message on the 'Bronte Patrol Swap' chat outlining the date, time and patrol team number of the patrol you would like a substitute for.
  4. If you are able to agree a 'swap' with another patroller, log into your SLSA Members Area account and accept the substitution request raised by the other patroller. Instructions on how to do this are below.
  5. If you aren't able to agree a 'swap' with another patroller, you are still expected to accept a substitution request for someone else (following the same steps below). Please accept the earliest date possible as these are the hardest to fill.
  6. Advise your PC who your substitute is (if you have been able to secure one).

If you have followed all of the steps above and are still unable to secure a substitute, you will be marked as 'Not rostered/excused' on the patrol log. If you haven't followed the steps above, you may be marked as a 'No show'.

We appreciate everyone giving the new process a go. If everyone follows it, we will get all substitution requests covered!

Raising a substitution request:

To request a substitute for a patrol you are unable to attend:

  • Log into your SLSA Members Area account
  • On the Home screen, click on 'VIEW FULL ROSTER' under 'Upcoming Patrols' (the tile in the top right corner of the Home screen)
  • Find the date of the patrol you are unable to attend and click 'I need a substitute'
  • A pop-up will appear asking if you want to request a substitution for that patrol. Click 'Ok'

Your substitution request will now be available for other patrolling members to select. You are able to raise a substitution request up to 5 days prior to the patrol. However, the sooner you raise the request, the more likely it is that someone will accept the request. Requests will expire 3 days prior to the patrol.

Accepting a substitution request

To accept a substitution request:

  • Select 'Patrol Swap' from the drop-down menu under 'Patrol'
  • Find the patrol that you have agreed you will cover, or one you are able to attend and click 'I can do this'
  • The substitution request will then be processed and both members will receive an automated confirmation email

REMEMBER - if you request a substitution for one of your patrols, you are expected to accept a substitution request for someone else.

More detailed instructions can be found in the online SLSA Members Area User Guide.
