Visit www.surflifesaving.com.au/boardriding for the final results, wrap story and photos. Beach to Bush Presenters WantedWe are calling for enthusiastic and energetic volunteers to present our annual Beach to Bush program from 21-25 November 2016. The Beach to Bush Program is the largest educational initiative of Surf Life Saving and has been delivered to rural NSW schools for over 20 years. The program began as a result of research which highlighted that 50% of people rescued from the surf live more than 50km from the beach. The program aims to educate young people about safety at the beach and other aquatic environments. This year we are visiting schools in the following areas: Casino, Kyogle, Moree, Bogabilla, Glen Innes, Gloucester, Wallabadah, Mudgee, Temora, Forbes and Albury just to name a few! If you are enthusiastic and passionate about Surf Life Saving, and prepared to spend a week on the road spreading the beach safety message, we want you! Find out more and apply now by visiting our website. Sydney Wet ‘n’ Wild Nippers – Partnership with Coastal ClubsA proposed new dimension to the Sydney Wet ‘n’ Wild Nippers program is to encourage members to join a coastal club allowing the Wet ‘n’ Wild Nippers try out some of their new skills on a regular basis, ultimately providing a pathway to further developing their surf skills beyond the Sydney Wet ‘n’ Wild Nipper program. Wet ‘n’ Wild members would participate in Nippers at their coastal club on specific dates - 6 November 2016, 4 December 2016, and 26 February 2017 - and join in their Age Group for a normal Nippers session. We are primarily looking for clubs from the Central Coast, Sydney, Sydney Northern Beaches and Illawarra Branches to partner with this program. If your club is interested in getting involved in this program, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Sydney Wet ‘n’ Wild Nippers – Volunteer at Sydney Wet ‘n’ WildWe are working with Wet 'n' Wild Sydney to finalise the details for the 2016-17 season for the Sydney Wet 'n' Wild Nipper. Surf Life Saving NSW will be conducting Sydney Wet ‘n’ Wild Nippers on the dates below.
Each week we need approximately 50 suitably qualified Water Safety personnel and Age Manager Assistants to come and volunteer alongside our Sydney Wet ‘n’ Wild Nipper parents. All volunteers must be proficient in at least one award (e.g. SRC or Bronze Medallion). So why not get a group together and come down to Wet ‘n’ Wild Sydney and spend some time with us as we introduce Surf Life Saving to a whole new generation of kids growing up away from the beach! Dates are first in, first served, so make sure you visit our website and register your club.

Local Club and Branch Fundraising InitiativesThe Surf Life Saving Foundation (SLSF) is the national fundraising body that fundraises on behalf of the 313 surf clubs across Australia. The Foundation’s fundraising activities include raffle and lottery sales for big ticket items, regular donor giving and bequest programs. We understand that coming into the start of the season, Clubs and Branches facilitate their own local fundraising initiatives. To limit the possibility of fundraising across the same areas or at the same time, and to ensure all fundraising efforts can be successfully maximised, we kindly ask you to provide details of your fundraising events/activations four or more weeks out from the event. You can advise SLSNSW of your fundraising activities via this form. Rescue Water Craft Operations ReviewSurf Life Saving New South Wales is commencing a review of Rescue Water Craft (RWC) services run by Branches in NSW. The Branch Directors of Lifesaving and Education discussed the RWC structure at the Annual Directors Combined Portfolio Conference in May 2016 and endorsed a review to take place. This is the first review of its type for sometime. Please read the Terms of Reference if you would like to apply to be a part of the working group and apply via www.surveymonkey.com/r/RWCReview_WorkingGroupApplications.  The Coates Hire Coolangatta Gold is one of the most challenging endurance races in surf sports. What began as the central theme for a motion picture 30 years ago, has now commanded a place on Australia’s annual sports calendar. The iconic event will return to the Gold Coast on October 15 and 16, 2016. The multi-disciplinary 32.4km short and 41.8km long courses combines swimming, running, board paddling and surf skiing. Take it on as an individual or a team and challenge yourself. For further information please visit www.sls.com.au. Psychological Well-Being of Surf Life Saving MembersResearch suggests that there is a link between volunteering and mental health. While studies have examined community organisations across Australia and internationally, the unique and strong surf life-saving movement on our home turf has not yet been investigated.
