Surf Life Saving volunteers have been called out to assist with a number of emergencies along the NSW coast in the last few days.
A brave rescue in extremely hazardous conditions that potentially saved the lives of five people during the floods in March has been awarded the Surf Life Saving NSW Rescue of the Month.
With hazardous weather conditions forecast to impact the NSW coastline from Friday, Surf Life Saving NSW is urging the public to exercise extreme caution when visiting the coastline this weekend.
Off-duty surf lifesavers and lifeguards who stood up together to save four lives in a successful coordinated rescue effort on the Central Coast have been awarded the Surf Life Saving NSW Rescue of the Month award in recognition of their achievements.
A Surf Life Saving NSW drone has been used to successfully locate a missing man in bushland at Port Macquarie, demonstrating the effectiveness of the technology for search and rescue applications in a variety of settings.
In April, Surf Life Saving NSW held its first Lifesaving Development Camp for surf lifesavers aged 16-21 years. The live-in program focused on developing and enhancing the knowledge and skills of young people, while at the same time preparing them to take on more responsibility in their patrol teams, their own clubs, and the wider community.
The beautiful beaches of the Illawarra, easily accessible to people from south-western Sydney, were slammed over summer, with lots of rescues performed by lifesavers, both on patrol and in after-hours emergencies.
Sunday 25 April will be the final day of volunteer patrols for 2020/21 season for NSW surf lifesavers.
Once again, Surf Life Saving volunteers have stepped up to assist the community in a time of crisis.
