SURF SPORTS OVERVIEW video
Surf Sports play a pivotal role in the surf life saving movement and are unique in that, unlike any other sport, their intent is to aid in developing the skills necessary to carry out Surf Life Saving’s core purpose, training surf life savers, both for now and in the future, to save lives on our beaches.
Every year thousands of SLSA members are given the opportunity to use their lifesaving skills in competition at both an elite and grassroots level, helping provide clubs with a steady stream of fit and motivated members. Competitions and carnivals are held at a club, branch, country, state and national level, giving our members the opportunity to use their skills in a competitive sporting environment across a range of disciplines including Ironman, lifesaving, surfboats, pool rescue and IRB racing.
Major surf sports events, such as the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships, bring thousands of members together to enjoy the true spirit of competition and camaraderie, in many cases forming friendships which last a lifetime.
Surf Life Saving has a comprehensive Surf Sports Development Plan which offers tremendous opportunities for athletes, coaches, mentors and officials to develop skills and improve performance. Some of these include:
- High-Performance Program
- Talented Athlete Program
- Pool Rescue Clinics
- IRB Development Clinics
- Regional Development Clinics
- Athlete & Coach Exchange Programs
- Coaching and Officials Courses
