To be a successful coach it’s important to inspire trust and honesty in your athletes, as well as an ability to challenge your own methods and constantly seek improvement, and this is a creed that North Bondi’s Jim Walker certainly lives up to.

Twenty-five gold medals and three world records is the extremely impressive return Bondi’s Laura Thurtell has compiled in the surf and in the pool since August 2017, and it was enough to earn her the Master Athlete of the Year Award at a glittering ceremony in Sydney last weekend.

It’s been a successful season in the hot seat for Cudgen Headland’s Jenny Kenny, who has held senior officiating roles at Branch, State, and National level throughout the 2017/18 season.

Excitement continues to build with just one more sleep until the surf lifesaving community comes together to celebrate its night of nights.

With just 7 weeks to go until lifesavings’ night of nights, Surf Life Saving NSW is pleased to confirm the finalists for the 2018 Awards of Excellence.

There was plenty to celebrate for a number of Surf Life Saving members who have been recognised for their outstanding contributions to not only the movement, but also to their communities when the annual Queen’s Birthday Honours list was announced on Monday.

The prompt actions of a group of Bondi surf lifesavers in assisting an elderly man who had suffered a cardiac episode in April have been recognised with the NSW Rescue of the Month Award.
