#STATECHAMPS26 // Masters 2026 wrapped and Bondi on top🏆
Two massive days at Blacksmiths Beach have come to a close and @bondisurf.club have claimed the Overall Point Score at the 2026 NSW Surf Life Saving Masters Championships, proudly presented by Your local club.
Bondi finished on 458 points to defend their 2025 crown, ahead of @northbondislsc (359) and @manlylsc (271), while Wamberal SLSC surged to fourth in a huge climb from 11th last year. Central Coast clubs made a strong statement with four in the top 10, and @rscsurfsports led the Hunter charge in eighth.
Across the carnival, Bondi’s 19 gold and 63 total medals set the pace, with standout wins to Troy Stewart, Jayson Lincoln and Lisa O’Donnell. North Bondi and Manly matched the intensity through strong relay and ski performances, while Wamberal’s Colleen Harrison headlined Central Coast success with Iron and Ski Relay gold.
Local clubs delivered big moments throughout, from @shellybeachslsc’s Taplin victory to @stockton_slsc, Redhead and @newcastle_surf_lifesaving_club relay and ski wins, while @portmacslscyouthhq’s Raelene Myers and @wollongongcityslsc’s Ben Squiers were among the individual standouts.
Hundreds of masters athletes. Two days of racing. One champion club.
Next up, Open and Surf Boat from Friday to Sunday to close out the 2026 NSW Surf Life Saving Championships.

#BEACHSAFETY // Volunteers from @newcastle_surf_lifesaving_club delivered their first Beach Safety Program last weekend with A Splash of Colour Swimming.
Participants built ocean confidence while learning key beach safety skills, including how to identify rip currents, understand patrol flags, manage sun exposure, respond to marine stings, and apply basic first aid and CPR. Surf Life Saving NSW is proud to support programs that create culturally inclusive pathways into swimming and beach environments for communities who previously had limited access to this kind of water safety education.

#REDANDYELLOWDAY // Just one more week til the nationwide celebration of the thousands of Surf Life Saving volunteers who dedicate their time to keeping our beaches safe.

In doing so, you’ll help Surf Life Saving turn the tide on coastal drowning. Because when you back the surf lifesavers on Red & Yellow Day, you can help save lives too.
