To keep the membership aware of the recent changes to the SLSNSW sport team, we are pleased to advise that the recruitment for the second Sports Officer has been completed.

Jake Lynch has been successful in securing the role of Sports Officer. As the Sports Officer Jake will be assisting the team with administrative and on the day support for surf sports events and programs. Jake will start with SLSNSW 15 October and will be contactable via the office line 9471 8000.

Rob Pidgeon has resigned and his last day in the office will be Friday 4 October. During Rob’s 6 years at SLSNSW he started his career in Lifesaving then moved over to the Surf Sports team where he worked his way up to Sports Manager. As the Sports Manager, Rob has successfully delivered a number of Sports events such as State Championships, Country Championships, IRB competitions and many more events. Rob has also been responsible for the delivery of athlete development and High Performance programs.

While we are on-boarding there will be some slight changes to the areas of responsibility for the Sport Officers and this will be completed once the recruitment of the Sport Manager is complete. Once this recruitment is completed a summary of the SLSNSW sport team roles will be circulated to Branch Directors of Surf Sports. In the interim Chief Operating Officer Phil Ayres will be acting in the Sport Manager role.

Officials and Coaches reaccreditations can still be sent to surfsports@surflifesaving.com.au and will processed in due course. Special event applications must be sent via Branch to specialevents@surflifesaving.com.au
