#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.
