West Beach Surf Life Saving Club (The Club) is dedicated to protecting beach goers who frequent the West Beach coastline. We are proudly affiliated with Surf Life Saving Australia as part of the largest volunteer organisation in Australia.
This is achieved through a strong and dedicated base of vital volunteers providing an essential emergency service by enhancing aquatic safety - providing surveillance, protection, medical assistance, and rescue services through beach patrols.
We have been providing this service to our local community since 1956. We have over 800 active members voluntarily patrolling the beach every weekend and public holidays during the months October through April each year.
We have a proud history and whilst ensuring public safety along the beach is our clubs key mission, the Club’s trained surf lifesavers compete at state and national levels each year. These competitions provide opportunities for our surf lifesavers to test their skills and training amongst other lifesavers to ensure they are fit and “rescue ready “at all times.
We are known for our education programs provided to community groups and schools, our CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) program that provides essential water awareness, learning to swim and other training programs for migrants and refugees, newly arrived in South Australia.
