The new facility has come through the first season with a pretty good bill of health after 1000s of users have passed through. During the quieter months we do rely on users to report anything to the admin team that needs repair or some maintenance. For urgent matters simply call your section manager who will be able to report it quickly to Clarke Martin the Building Manager.

We are excited to announce the addition of a new award commencing in 2024. As we celebrate the first 12 months of running our Junior Committee, we have made the decision to celebrate, inspire and encourage the younger members of our club with a newly created "Emerging Young Leader" award.

This award will be open for nominations for males and females in the 14-25 age category who meet the following criteria:

• The member has made a significant contribution to the club in season 2023/2024.
• The member has taken on a leadership role at the club (either formally or informally) and displays emerging leadership skills.
• The member shows a keen willingness to become involved in various areas of the club, and shows potential to become a key contributor and leader.

Please note, nominations are open for Male and Female categories, but there is no obligation to award to both or either gender.

If there is someone between the ages of 14 and 25 that you think would be deserving of this award for 2023/2024 then please use this form to make your nomination by 9pm Friday 19th April.

We are excited to announce training and carnival dates for the upcoming 2024 Pool Life Saving season! 

Go to Team App for training dates and registration information.

Pool lifesaving offers an incredible opportunity for athletes to:

• Get involved in a fun, social sport that provides opportunities for State, National, and International participation and representation.
• Keep training and remain rescue-ready all year round; and
• Refine skills that can be used during patrol season.

Are you keen to get involved or know someone that would love to be part of pool lifesaving?

There are many opportunities to join the action as either a competitor, coach, or official.

While things on the beach are quiet during winter, LSV is calling for expressions of interest for Technical Officials Practical / Assessment for the Pool Lifesaving Season.

A great way to get your Technical Official qualification while staying warm during the winter!
