Season Thanks to Volunteers and Lifeguards

The 2019/20 Surf Life Saving season has been one of the most challenging we have seen – following the catastrophic bushfires impacting coastal communities across the state, followed by storms and floods, and now we are all feeling the impacts of social distancing and an early end to the season. 


Off Duty Lifesavers Win Award for Bronte Mass Rescue

A mass rescue that was described as incredible and heroic, has won lifesavers James and Kirsty McLennan a Rescue of the Month Award for saving the lives of nine people who were caught in the notorious Bronte Beach rip and swept hundreds of metres out to sea.​


Patrols Go Virtual During Coronavirus

It’s not only office workers who are turning to video conferencing to communicate and keep in touch during the Coronavirus pandemic. Surf lifesavers are also using this technology to stay connected with other surf club members after the Coronavirus brought forward the end of the volunteer Surf Life Saving patrol season.


Patrols Close at Major Beaches​

In consultation with the Minister for Emergency Services and the NSW Police, Surf Life Saving NSW has advised that patrols will be withdrawn from beaches where crowds exceed 500 people.
