Competition
Surf lifesavers compete in SLS competitions to demonstrate their physical and mental skills and abilities. Surf sports play a major role in the preparation of surf lifesavers to meet the physical standards necessary for saving lives. Competition officials and organisers conduct competitions to support and encourage lifesavers to demonstrate their knowledge and skill.
Properly equipped and qualified water safety personnel are provided at all competitions and all necessary safety arrangements are put in place prior to commencement of any competition. Competitions are conducted for a wide range of ages from Under nine to sixty years and older. There is a wide range of events to enable any individual to find an activity to suit them. These include events conducted in pools and beaches involving lifesaving activities, boats and various other craft, swimming and beach related events.
To be eligible to compete members must fulfil a range of requirements including but not limited to;
- Be the holder of the appropriate SLSA Award
- Be appropriately proficient
- Have met relevant patrol commitments and any other eligibility qualifications for specific events.
