Several NSW volunteer surf lifesavers have seen a wonderful 2022/23 season rewarded at a national level, taking out categories including the blue-ribbon DHL Surf Lifesaver of the Year award at the 2023 SLSA Awards of Excellence in Sydney.

Children aged five through to 14 are hitting the beach again to take part in vital surf safety lessons as the flagship Surf Life Saving program, Nippers, kicks off across the state.

Thousands of Australians are preparing to embark on the Gotcha4Life 24 Hour Row for mental fitness by keeping their rowing machines moving for 24 hours at surf clubs, gyms and schools. 

Nearly 500 volunteer lifesavers and their supporters have celebrated the most outstanding achievements during a challenging season, coming together on Saturday 26 August for the annual Surf Life Saving NSW Awards of Excellence event in Sydney.

At the core of the mission of our membership is saving lives – the ultimate aim of what all the training, education and dedication represents when we hit the beach.

For Trainers, Assessors and Facilitators, it’s about getting the “right people on the beach”. A simple mantra, but one that takes a lot of effort to put into practice.
