Keeping the beach safe is our priority but it’s not all that we do. Over the years our members have enjoyed considerable success in the competition arena, boasting numerous State and National champions, in a range of disciplines.

Competition is offered in a number of different disciplines that not only assist members to maintain their life saving skills, but also provide children and adults with regular physical activity that incorporates fun and team work. Age groups in lifesaving are determined by the age that you are, as at midnight on the 30th September at the beginning of the season (ie if 9yo then you will be in u/10). More information on the types and rules of events conducted can be obtained by reading the ‘Competition Handbook’ downloadable from Life Saving Victoria

Clubs earn points from placings at carnivals and these go towards an annual Premiership. Winning clubs are awarded trophies or equipment at the end of the season.

Junior Program

The Junior Activities (Nipper) program, runs for children from the ages of 6 to 13 years. At junior levels our club focus is more on fun and learning rather than winning. A child’s best is always good enough. Health, improvement and good sportsmanship should be seen as the primary goals.
