A surf life saver is a person who demonstrates character and skill. They are fit, skilled, team oriented and adaptable. We commit time and energy to maintain a high level of skill through ongoing training. Surf Life Saving Sport presents our members with a unique challenge.
There is no other sport that is based on a humanitarian service - that of saving lives at the beach and in the sea. In order to participate at a Senior level, competitors must be qualified for lifesaving duties, but they remain lifesavers first, and competitors second.
All events are based on the skills required by lifesavers and lifeguards and the equipment used by them in carrying out their duty, but it provides one of the most, exciting, colourful and eco-friendly of all sporting activities that you could wish to see.

Surf Life Saving Sport is organised at several different levels to suit the individual:

Sharks - from 5 - 7
Nippers – from 7 -13
Juniors - from 13 - 19
Seniors - from 16 - 30
Masters - from 30 upwards
IRB (In-shore Rescue Boat)

From local Club events, to Regional and National Championships, there are many opportunities to get involved. At the highest level, we join forces with our colleagues in RLSS UK to select our best lifesavers to represent Great Britain at World and European Championships. In Europe, we are recognised as the number one nation in Surf Life Saving Sport.
