Massive Multi-Day Trip Celebrates Rich Rescue Boat History

A historic journey replicating a feat completed half a century ago ended with great fanfare at Coolangatta last week, after members of Soldiers Beach SLSC drove an Inflatable Rescue Boat from Sydney Harbour to the Gold Coast for the 2024 World Lifesaving Championships.

A Teen’s 16,000km Lifesaving Journey

Maria Flor Santana De Castro’s dad was a professional lifeguard in Brazil and when the family moved to Australia 13 years ago, he wanted nothing more than for his daughter to have a good experience on the beach and, hopefully, get involved with lifeguarding or Surf Life Saving. 

Spotlight on Central Coast at State Awards

Lifesavers on the NSW Central Coast have picked up a quarter of the awards on offer, including the blue-chip Surf Lifesaver of the Year category, at the SLSNSW Awards of Excellence – the culmination of a stellar season for the Branch.

History of the Awards – Membership

Surf Life Saving NSW doesn’t exist in its current form without its members – the hard-working, dedicated faces behind the rescues, first aids and community engagement we deliver along the coastline.

History of the Awards – Youth

A consistent theme across clubs and branches in lifesaving is a focus on growth, pathways and opportunities for our future leaders. Our youth act as a key pillar in maintaining and strengthening our role in the community into the future.
