It may have happened just over two months ago, but 13-year-old Katja Moritz remembers her first rescue very clearly.
In recognition of International Women’s Day on Wednesday 8 March, Bondi SBLSC has once again held its ‘Pink Patrol’ – a celebration of women in Surf Life Saving and a workshop for networking, confidence building and inclusivity.
Having made nearly 3,000 rescues this summer already, NSW volunteer surf lifesavers and lifeguards are urging the public to understand their limitations as a “low intensity heatwave” approaches.
Seven drownings in six days marked a devastating week on our coastline which saw the coastal drowning toll for the summer to date soar to 23.
Volunteer surf lifesavers have helped to avoid 46 near drownings across an intense weekend on the NSW coastline which saw the summer drowning toll rise to 16.
More than 100 participants attended Surf Life Saving NSW’s innovative rock fishing safety program at Sydney’s Little Bay, learning vital skills to stay safe and taking home a free, properly fitted lifejacket.
There’s just one month left of summer and yet surf lifesavers have already achieved record rescue numbers on our beaches, reaffirming the value of the movement as it continues to produce highly skilled volunteers to patrol our coastline.
Congratulations to members of Surf Life Saving in NSW who have been honoured in the Australia Day awards.
Near 30-degree temperatures and huge beach visitation in parts of NSW yesterday capped another very busy week for surf lifesavers in what is shaping as one of the biggest summers on record.
