// A huge announcement today on Sydney's Northern Beaches, as SLSNSW committed to installing publicly accessible Shark Bite Trauma Kits at each of the 129 clubs across the state's coastline.

The trauma kits will be affixed to the external wall of each NSW surf club where, in the event of a reported shark incident, and in the absence of a lifesaver or lifeguard on duty, members of the public will be able to apply emergency first aid until first responders arrive on scene.

// That’s a wrap on season 25/26!

Seven months after the flags first rose, our volunteer surf lifesavers have lowered them today for the last time this season.

129 beaches, 85,000+ members, one goal - we’re so proud of each and every one of our members for the role they play in keeping our coastal communities safe.

It doesn’t stop here though, there’s plenty of training and upskilling opportunities over the cooler months!

See you all again in September.

// An unforgettable experience for surfboat and still-water crews from Rowing NSW taking part in the Anzac Eve Sunset Tribute on Sydney Harbour last night. The 'oars up' boat commemoration not only honoured those who lost their lives in conflicts, it was an acknowledgement of the deep connection our Surf Life Saving and rowing clubs have always had with those who served. Crews from Manly LSC, Bondi Surf Club, Bronte Surf Life Saving Club, South Maroubra SLSC, FairyMeadow SLSC and Warriewood SLSC surf clubs proudly represented.

// We were so excited to welcome 18 members representing 10 of the NSW Branches to Sydney this weekend for our second 18-25 Program in just a few months - and what a blast we had!

The whole point of this Program is hands-on learning - not just about leadership, but finding meaning in your lifesaving journey and fostering self development with awesome active sessions and group bonding.

It was also really cool to welcome a bunch of past NSW Lifesavers of the Year - including our most recent, Michael Russo, Rosie Taliano (2015), Lara Boyle (2017), and Doug Lucas (2004 and 2005).

Here's a peak behind the curtain of everything the group got up to in the harbour city!

// Earlier this month 22 of the state’s most exciting and passionate young lifesavers participated in a three-day camp on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, where our Junior Lifesavers of the Year were crowned.

Come behind the scenes with us and see what they got up to!

// Last week we welcomed the news that 61 individual projects across more than a third of the surf clubs in NSW will benefit from the State Government's Surf Club Facilities Program in 2026!

Wanda Surf Life Saving Club was one of the biggest beneficiaries and we announced the news in the Bate Bay at their club.

This program is crucial for our clubs, and helps our volunteer lifesavers to be rescue ready on our coastline.

// We were thrilled to see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex drop by the iconic Bondi Beach today as part of their Australian tour and meet some of our volunteer lifesavers!

Harry and Meghan took the time to thank the lifesavers for their heroism during the Bondi attacks late last year - a wonderful gesture - and wished them good luck for the final weekends of the patrol season.

// It’s not just a weekend, it’s a chance to upskill!

Some eager and enthusiastic lifesavers picked up new skills and honed some they already had during the Advanced IRB Program at Garie.

This program continues to go from strength to strength, and we’re always blown away by how many members embrace the training and take something away from it which will help them continue to keep beachgoers safe.

Next stop, Cape Hawke📍

// Another year in the books, with Surf Life Saving Far South Coast and Surf Life Saving Sydney the big winners!

Emma Dawson from Broulee Surfers Surf Life Saving Club and Jonathan Kodomichalos from Coogee SLSC are the 2026 NSW Junior Lifesavers of the year, after a whirlwind three days in Collaroy where they built new connections and developed their skills as lifesavers.

Congratulations to you both, and a further congratulations to all 22 Branch Junior Lifesavers of the Year on the part you all played in an incredible camp this year!
