#rainbowbeaches // Why were our beaches beaming with colour this weekend? This weekend has been HUGE across all areas of our organisation and what a perfect weekend to see clubs and patrols light up with the national initiative led by @lifesaverswithpride - Rainbow Beaches 🏳️🌈. More than 130 clubs participated helping to communicate to their communities that they support and welcome all. Clubs showcased the colours of the 🏳️🌈Progress Flag, they dressed up, used rainbow zinc, held colour runs, patrol parties, pride paddle outs and had the best time - as you can see - to visibly demonstrate their inclusion and support of the LGBTQIA+ community.

#slsnswpresident // We warmly welcome the election of the first female President of SLSNSW in our 118-year history, Elissa Hancock.
Elissa brings significant experience to our growing organisation – most recently through her current role as Sydney Branch President and a Patrol Captain and Patron of Era SLSC.
Having amassed nearly four decades of experience across a range of Surf Life Saving areas, Elissa is a champion for youth and an advocate for evolution across the movement. She steps into the role vacated by Peter Agnew AM who was elected to the position of President of Surf Life Saving Australia in November last year.
Congratulations, Elissa, on your successful election. We look forward to working together to continue saving lives and supporting our incredible surf lifesaving community across the state.
