Surf Lifesaving Report

Week 6 Term 1 2024

The weather and ocean conditions could not have been better for the final day of the Shore Surf Lifesaving (SLS) 2023-2024 season. Sunshine, light winds and a clean 2-foot swell greeted the boys as they arrived. As is customary on the final day, the boys enjoyed an Iron Man competition and a fancy dress parade from the outgoing Year 12’s, topped off with a barbeque and awards at the end of the session.

Shore SLS said a sad farewell to an outstanding group of Year 12 Surf Lifesavers, many of whom have been in the programme since Year 7. Duncan C, Captain of SLS, presented each boy with a personalised framed photograph as a memento and thanked the SLS coaches for their support over the years.
