Welcome to our monthly e-news for Surf Life Saving members in NSW. Each month we’ll bring you a quick snapshot of what’s happening across the state, we’ll celebrate the achievements of some of our dedicated surf lifesavers, let you know about the latest special offers for members and feature upcoming events!
First State Titles Awarded In Tricky Conditions
The 2019 NSW Surf Life Saving Championships proudly supported by Your local club Patrol Competition and Champion Lifesaver kicked off 10 big days of events at Swansea Belmont SLSC.
Adrienne Lowe (Dee Why SLSC) has been an official for over 10 years and was the sectional referee at the weekend’s event, “I think that the lifesaving events are great because they relate heavily to what happens on the beach and are really beneficial for our members. It’s such a rewarding event to be part of.”

Have You Ever Thought About Joining A Dragon Boat Crew?
As part of SLSNSW’s involvement in Lunar New Year, we were lucky enough to enter a team in to the Dragon Boat competition at Darling Harbour, competing against crews from around the state. Dragon Boating is an exciting, fast-paced sport that could be right up your alley as a surf lifesaver, so why not go down for a training session with the Bei Loon Dragon Boat Club in Bayview’s Rowland Reserve.
There are 4 opportunities to train each week, with one of NSW’s largest and most successful clubs. Warning - it is very addictive! For more information, contact George Webster on 9905 2919.
