Click here Friday 4 January 2019 Do You Have A Rescue Story From The Christmas And New Year Period?Since Christmas Eve our dedicated lifesavers performed 828 rescues, 72 NSW Ambulance call-outs and 38 Calls to the Emergency Response System. 828 people were given a second chance to celebrate the New Year thanks to the incredible efforts of our volunteers. Thank you to every single person who volunteered their time over the Christmas & New Year period. Your time and vigilance are so appreciated. Brave Christmas Day Cave Rescue SuccessAfter four Christmas coastal drownings nationally, a successful rescue by lifesavers and lifeguards on the Central Coast made it a great Christmas Day for two men from Sydney’s inner west. Teen Trio Saves Two Drowning MenA dramatic rescue and near drowning of two men has tested the skills of three young lifesavers on patrol at Batemans Bay SLSC on Christmas day. It was near the end of the day’s patrol when Angus and Lexus Knight noticed two swimmers in distress outside of the flagged area at Malua Bay. AnnouncementsURGENT - 2019 Envirobank Country ChampionshipsDue to insufficient officials numbers the 2019 Envirobank Country Championships could potentially result in a dramatically reduced event format.
