Other information
South Melbourne Life Saving Club is the survivor of a long history of beach and swimming clubs on Albert Park Beach between the now filled in lagoon at Port Melbourne and Kerford Road Pier. The club was first formed as the South Melbourne Swimming Club at, what were then known as, the Emerald Hill Baths in November 1876.
Members have the benefit of being able to undertake training in both competition skills and awards training, such as the Surf Life Saving Bronze Medallion. For more information click on ‘Training & Development’ or ‘Competition’ in the main menu.
The Club is also a good family environment with members of all ages. Many Nippers (5-13 yrs), Cadets (13-16yrs) and Seniors / Bronze Medallion holders (15 yrs +) make up the club, with individuals and whole families involved in many different aspects.
As an important service to the community, all active members are involved in patrolling duties for a few days every season. This gives those involved in patrols a range of practical first aid, rescue and leadership skills.
Members are able to take advantage of the well equipped gym and social aspects of the club. The club is centrally located for members who live across Melbourne, especially those who work or go to school in the inner suburbs.
