What We Do
It is difficult to sum up all the great things about Surf Life Saving at our Club. North Steyne SLSC could be characterised in terms of excitement, opportunity, camaraderie, health and fitness, service, education, community, and fun. A premier and iconic location at an affordable cost. It is all these things and more. Ultimately, we are about ensuring the safety of visitors to our beach as well as the safety of our members, our children, and our local community. We accomplish this by placing the utmost focus and majority of our resources on patrols, on member training and on compliance. We are committed to ensuring safety in the water and on the beach during patrol hours in rain, hail, or shine. Whatever it takes.
At North Steyne each weekend over the beach season, you will see volunteer surf lifesavers on patrol, new members training to become surf lifesavers, and existing members training to hone their skills in rescue and in competition. You’ll see social gatherings, surfing and swimming competitions, and BBQs and drinks. You’ll see senior members going out of their way to do anything from educating the public to fixing gear, all for the love of it. You’ll see a membership that is proud to call North Steyne their home and proud to call each other their family. You’ll see 500 Nippers on the beach just going ballistic and having the time of their lives doing it.
Perhaps the greatest thing about North Steyne SLSC is its inclusiveness. You might find that any one of our activities suit you, or any combination of them, or even all of them. Go for it! As long as you’re prepared to get involved, we’ll support you in trying anything we have to offer. You might even find that none of these activities suit you, and you want to start your own. We’ll support you in everything you have to offer.
The beach lifestyle and surf lifesavers are an integral part of the Australian heritage and tradition. Surf Life Saving is a challenge to all Australians, to put aside differences and excuses, and to get involved and help out. Surf clubs are open to members from all walks of life—all ages, and all backgrounds. As a club and as a community, we’re Australian for life.
North Steyne SLSC, as one of the oldest surf clubs in Australia has a long and proud history in Surf Life Saving and Australian beach culture. If you enjoy and share that culture and want to make a contribution, North Steyne SLSC would welcome you as a member.
