#IRBSERIES22 // Our fastest surf sport hit the Central Coast on the weekend for the final round of the 2022 Sharkskin NSW IRB Premiership! The surf was small but that didn’t make the racing any less entertaining, with our competitors showing off their high speeds and lifesaving skills.
After a disruptive two years, IRB racing has come back with a bang, one that couldn’t have happened without our competitors, clubs, officials, volunteers and sponsors.
Please note, final results and point score for the premiership will be announced at our State Champs at South West Rocks in two weeks time.

Huge thanks also to Helensburgh-Stanwell Park Surf Life Saving Club Seawolves and Coogee SLSC Hammers for their awesome Instagram takeover for our final round!

#BEACHSAFETY // Monday marked World Refugee Day and reminded us that every person has the right to seek safety and protection.
We take this opportunity to introduce you to Nashern and her family of six children. Originally a refugee from Sudan, Nashern has overcome many hardships throughout her life.
Today Nashern stands as a strong advocate for water safety and the importance of teaching your children to swim.
We urge all communities to seek the safety of the red and yellow flags, to educate themselves about beach safety and to help protect the youngest members of our community by ensuring they know how to swim and stay safe on our coastlines.
To learn more, visit www.beachsafetyhub.org.au.

#BEACHSAFETY // Monday night saw a coming together of cultures in an event full of storytelling. The Multicultural Drowning Prevention Short Film Launch, hosted at Canterbury Leagues Club, focused on beach and rock fishing safety, with our community discussing themes around drowning and drowning prevention within our diverse multicultural communities.
We uncovered stories from our panel members who shared their experiences both in Australia and from their home country. From trauma and hardship to joy and opportunity, we were able to experience these stories alongside them.
We want to say a huge thankyou to everyone who joined us on the night, and especially to the brave men and women who shared their experiences and stories of survival with us.
Want to see some of the stories yourself? Jump onto our Beach Safety Hub 👉 bit.ly/3OeCFXN

Fabulous event and video!
I like the quote "generational change", SLS is proactive of this in many ways including Monday night.
#AEDSALE // Has your family been touched by a cardiac emergency? Only one in 10 people survive a cardiac arrest but a quick response with the help of an AED can improve your chances of survival. Chances of survival drop by 10% for every minute that a patient isn't receiving CPR or an AED shock.
We have AED's available today from our Lifesaving Academy store and you can save a massive $600 on a fully-automatic HeartSine Samaritan 360P Defib bundle.
Offer is limited so get yours and have the tools to save a life when it matters.
