#MEMBERS // No flags, no worries. WELCOME to this group. New lifesavers have graduated at @swanseabelmont this weekend and will begin their patrols at the start of the new season in September. There’s so much time, energy and enthusiasm that goes into training a new Bronze squad and at the end of National Volunteer Week we’d also like to acknowledge the education teams, like those here at Swansea Belmont, who will continue to train and assess members in the off season. Your knowledge, experience and ability to make training for our awards clear, fun and engaging is inspiring. #training #bronzemedallion #swanseabelmont #lifesavers

#NATIONALVOLUNTEERWEEK // This one is for our Officials. Never has there been a more tireless, passionate, hardworking bunch of heavily sun protected volunteers. Without our Officials, well, there’d be no surf sports. They’re at the beach before sunrise and often leave after the sun sets. They aim for fair, safe and fun competition and to help build very area of each of our sports from R&R to Surf Boat, IRB Racing, Pool Rescue, First Aid and Patrol Comp, March Past, Board Riding, Beach, Water and inclusive events through to Aussies and World Championships. They’re there to ensure you can have every chance to succeed with a PB, club relay or just for fitness. 🙌T H A N K Y O U O F F I C I A L S 🙌 #surfsports# lifesaving #competition #thankyou

#SURFSPORTS // U19s is one of the hottest and most competitive divisions in our sport. At this year’s Aussies we saw the fire in the U19 Females. This group is not only pushing eachother to be faster, stronger and more fierce but they’re also the best of mates. Absolutely loved watching this board race and the push and pull between @katylararees from @swanseabelmont and @isabellatatee from @cudgenheadland.slsc 🔥🔥🔥 #ironwomen #surfracing #slsnsw #aussies

#MUMSOFSLSNSW // Do you know what the Nipperettes were? Kerry Armstrong-Smith was in the first group of them after joining @uminaslsc in the Under 4’s, and this year after more then 50 years of service at one club, she was inducted as a Surf Life Saving Australia Masters Legend with her awe-inspiring results including winning the very first Australian Open Champion Lifesaver event in 2000. Kerry is just one of the thousands of incredible mums of Surf Life Saving NSW and today we wanted to share the amazing milestones she’s celebrated this year. First and foremost, she’s the mum to coach Bronte and athlete Jemma who have been by her side on the sand since they were born. “They’ve come down to patrol since day dot and they learned early on it’s a lifestyle,” she says. “Surf Life Saving has always been about family and to watch them grow up around the beach and have the same love and passion for it has been amazing.” And even though all three have always been competitive Kerry says that the emphasis was always on having fun, showing up, and most importantly being together. “From the start it’s always been about having fun, never an emphasis on winning it’s about having fun, training, improving skills and knowing how to keep themselves and others safe.” Kerry says what being part of a club gives you as a parent, is time with your kids, and that’s her message to any mums out there thinking about getting involved with a club. “It’s one of those things that brings you together, you do a lot together, water safety, patrol, travel, training, competing.” In fact, Kerry says “If the Box is working today, Bronte and I will be out there catching waves together for Mother’s Day.” #mothersday #mentor #inspiration #mum

#MYSURFLIFE // At the NSW Age Championships @mrharoldmarshall caught up with the legend @sonnybillwilliams who, along with all his kids is a proud competitive member of @wandasurfclubb. Sonny talked about the life skills being part of the Surf Life Saving community brings and the values it instills. “Without a little bit of hard work, there’s no growth,” he says about getting out in the surf and encouraging his kids to all give it everything they’ve got. #sls #surfsports #lifesaving #nippers
