Surf Life Saving NSW is pleased to announce NSW team that will once again compete for the Youth Pathway Cup, at Sydney’s Newport Beach.

Before racing into the ocean it pays to stop, look, and plan no matter what your age or ability in the water. This is the key message a new Surf Life Saving safety campaign is taking to Australians everywhere this summer.

An island oasis in the Tasman Sea isn’t a location that immediately springs to mind when it comes to a Nippers program, but just as it is in mainland Australian for the people of Lord Howe Island beach safety is an important community concern.

As one of the smaller surf clubs on the state’s Mid North Coast retaining numbers has always been a challenge, but at Camden Haven SLSC it’s hoped that some out-of-the-box thinking will ensure a secure future.

There was plenty to celebrate for the Far North Coast representative Surf Life Saving team as they returned from last weekend’s Interbranch Championships with the trophy for “Most Successful” Country Branch in their possession as well as a host of strong performances.

They may be two of the smaller branches in Surf Life Saving, but the teams from the Mid North Coast and Lower North Coast still had plenty to smile about at last weekend’s Interbranch Championship.

They may have been sporting unique swimwear in support of a much loved former teammate but it was there eye-catching performances in the surf and on the sand that made the Hunter athletes hard to miss at last weekend’s Interbranch Championships.

Despite the frustration of missing the podium for the second straight year surf lifesavers from across the Central Coast still recorded a number of great performances at the 2018 Interbranch Championships.

In the end the battle of the Harbour Bridge came down to just a 13-point margin which was enough for Sydney Northern Beaches to claim a second straight Interbranch title at the annual Surf Life Saving Representative carnival last weekend.

The cream of Illawarra’s surf sport athletes showcased their talent at last weekend’s Interbranch Championships on the state’s Lower North Coast doing enough to finish sixth in the overall standings.
