#FLAGSDOWN // That’s a wrap on season 25/26!

Seven months after the flags first rose, our volunteer surf lifesavers have lowered them today for the last time this season.

129 beaches, 85,000+ members, one goal - we’re so proud of each and every one of our members for the role they play in keeping our coastal communities safe.

It doesn’t stop here though, there’s plenty of training and upskilling opportunities over the cooler months!

See you all again in September. ...

#LESTWEFORGET// An unforgettable experience for surfboat and still-water crews from @rowingnsw taking part in the Anzac Eve Sunset Tribute on Sydney Harbour last night. The `oars up` boat commemoration not only honoured those who lost their lives in conflicts, it was an acknowledgement of the deep connection our Surf Life Saving and rowing clubs have always had with those who served. Crews from @manlylsc, @bondisurf.club, @brontesurfclub, @southmaroubraslsc, @fairymeadowslsc and @warriewoodslsc surf clubs proudly represented. ...

#18TO25 // We were so excited to welcome 18 members representing 10 of the NSW Branches to Sydney this weekend for our second 18-25 Program in just a few months - and what a blast we had!

The whole point of this Program is hands-on learning - not just about leadership, but finding meaning in your lifesaving journey and fostering self development with awesome active sessions and group bonding.

It was also really cool to welcome a bunch of past NSW Lifesavers of the Year - including our most recent, Michael Russo, Rosie Taliano (2015), Lara Boyle (2017), and Doug Lucas (2004 and 2005).

Here`s a peak behind the curtain of everything the group got up to in the harbour city! ...

#ROYALVISIT // We were thrilled to see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex drop by the iconic Bondi Beach today as part of their Australian tour and meet some of our volunteer lifesavers!

Harry and Meghan took the time to thank the lifesavers for their heroism during the Bondi attacks late last year - a wonderful gesture - and wished them good luck for the final weekends of the patrol season. ...

#IRBTRAINING // It’s not just a weekend, it’s a chance to upskill!

Some eager and enthusiastic lifesavers picked up new skills and honed some they already had during the Advanced IRB Program at Garie.

This program continues to go from strength to strength, and we’re always blown away by how many members embrace the training and take something away from it which will help them continue to keep beachgoers safe.

Next stop, Cape Hawke📍 ...

#AUSSIES26 // The Australian Championships is over for another year and we couldn’t be more proud of our NSW athletes who battled the sand and surf at North Kirra.

Some big wins on finals day on Sunday for some of our up and comers as well as those who have been around the cans many times before.

A special shout out also must go to @newportkinghornacademy Jemma Smith and @wandasurfclubb Dane Sutton who were named the carnival’s Champion Competitors, helping lead their clubs to fourth and second place, respectively, on the overall point score.

Thanks as always to @abrahamsonshane for the incredible pics. ...

#AUSSIES26 // More from NSW on the big stage!

We’re just a finals package away from the end of the Surf Sports season, but there’s plenty more to come from some of the state’s finest on the Gold Coast.

North Kirra has turned it on the past few days, check out some of the best snaps from @abrahamsonshane! ...

#AUSSIES26 // Two days into the Open Championships at Aussies and we continue to be blown away by how good our NSW athletes have been on the big stage!

Come behind the lens of the legendary @abrahamsonshane as he takes us onto the beach at Kirra after a bumper day on the Gold Coast. ...

#COMMUNITYEDUCATION // Over the weekend, SLSNSW attended the Annual Islamic Eid Al-Fitr Show in Bankstown, a celebration that brought together families, culture and community.

A big thank you to the volunteer lifesavers from @deewhyslsc who gave their time to be part of the event. It was great to see such genuine engagement and connection throughout the day. Building relationships with communities across South West Sydney helps support ongoing water safety awareness and education. These moments all play a part in creating safer beaches, waterways and communities.
