SURF SPORTS
Lifesavers engage in regular Surf Sports competitions to develop and maintain their skills and fitness for their life-saving and patrolling duties. Competition is both fun and fierce, conducted with the highest standard of sportsmanship.
For the Nippers age group, this begins through the Junior Surf Carnival series which provides a fantastic way to get our junior competitors actively participating in sporting competition whilst developing their fitness and life-saving skill sets. For more information on competitions, please contact us.
