A very big Surf Life Saving Welcome to ALL of our members.This week marks the return of Australia’s largest Nippers following on from the return of our Lifesavers several weeks ago. If you know of any lifesavers that for one reason or another that haven’t received re-joining information, we’d appreciate it if you could get them to make contact with our Lifesaving Team via adol@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au . Ash will sort out any lifesaving concerns including rosters, rejoining and the new CPR upskill requirements which all lifesavers must complete.A big THANK YOU is in order as we head into the new season. To all of our Directors and Office staff that have been overwhelmed with calls and visits to the club for help and preparation for the new season, a big thank you. To our club educators who have been working non stop to deliver the new CPR upskill program to all Lifesavers, thank you guys!

A Word from Our President Stretch Feb 2025
Members, with the Christmas Holidays now well behind us and students back at school after a long break, its full steam ahead on all fronts at the club.Here’s a short summary of the last 2 months;Our Patrolling members have carried out a remarkable job tending to record crowds, significant first aid cases and blue bottle stings and on some patrols numerous rescues in challenging conditions.On the 27th January, Patrol 12 led by Simon Torsellini confronted massive crowds and challenging surf conditions resulting in a big group of swimmers being washed off a sand bank and into a massive rip. It was fantastic to see the team swing into action on rescue boards, IRB and tubes alongside Lifeguards. This mass rescue was recognised by Sydney Branch as their Rescue of the Month. Well done team and a great lesson for all our lifesavers to be vigilant and competent on rescue boards and

Here’s a quick update on all the highlights from the past few weeks:Back in the Water: Nippers Return on Australia DayWhat better way to celebrate Australia Day than with a splash of surf and sand! We were thrilled to welcome our young Nippers back to the beach after the summer break. The energy was high as our future surf lifesavers got straight back into their training. It was wonderful to see all the kids eager to get back into the water and work on their skills, building confidence and teamwork in the process. We’re excited for another season of fun and learning as our Nippers grow both in ability and spirit.Club Championships – U12 to U14Our Club Championships for the U12 to U14 age groups were a
