Surf Life Saving

Surf life saving is an integral part of our national sporting and cultural heritage. It contributes to community social cohesion and offers a safe and healthy environment for sport. With a diverse range of disciplines and events, the sport is designed to keep participants active and to replicate what may be required in a rescue situation.

Offered to primary school students, participants will learn to identify emergency situations and how to get help. Surf sport skills include body boarding, wading, dolphin diving, beach sprints and beach flags.

Water is one of Australia’s favourite playgrounds. Surf life saving provides sporting opportunities that support fundamental movement skills. It also offers pathways for sporting development while adding value of increasing safety competence in and around water.
