Our dedicated patrollers look after our beach every Sunday and bank holidays during the season. We have a proud history of Lifesaving and ensuring the safety of our beach.
Have fun, develop better surf skills, compete and stay active. Improve your lifesaving skills and help keep our beaches safe.
We offer bronze medallion for new patrollers, SRC for our younger patrol helpers, Advanced Resuscitation Training, IRB crew and driver and many others such as the Sliver Medallion in Beach Management for patrol captains & more.
SLS Inflatable Rescue Boat Competition season occurs throughout Winter. TSLSC has a strong tradition in IRB Racing and welcomes any new members to join the team.
TSLSC have a strong group of Masters (anyone over the age of 30 years) members who can be seen honing their surf craft skills and improving their fitness along the beach each morning.

Canadian Youth Team Visit
The Canadian Youth Team have been spending the last week or so in the area and receiving training from Jeff Wall. It has been great to see the team here and to see their dedication to Life Saving. On Saturday morning (10th August) we held an informal series of races involving the Canadian Youth Team and our own members ranging from Nippers to Masters. It was a great morning with some keenly contested events. Well done to Jeff Wall and Sonya Harrison for organising the day. However, the stars of the day were Abby and Travis Carter for the great breakfast provided. We wish the Canadian Youth Team and all our members competing at the upcoming World Championships good luck and best wishes.
