Sausage sizzles, or simply relax and enjoy the beach from the club's comfortable facilities.
The club prides itself on its commitment to water safety and the protection of beachgoers. Members participate in regular patrols, ensuring the safety and well-being of swimmers and surfers along the Brighton Jetty to the Broadway, Glenelg South stretch of beach. These patrols, which take place on weekends and public holidays between October and April, require only a few days of commitment each month, making it an ideal opportunity for members to give back to the community while enjoying time at the beach.
For those looking to further their skills, Somerton SLSC offers a range of surf life-saving qualifications. The Bronze Medallion is the starting point for all patrolling and competing members, providing comprehensive training in essential life-saving techniques. Younger members, aged between 13 and 15 years, can pursue the Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC), which acts as a stepping stone to the Bronze Medallion and allows them to join a patrol group. Other courses, such as Provide First Aid, IRB Drivers, ATV Operator, and Advanced Resuscitation Techniques, are also available to members.
The club warmly welcomes new members from all walks of life. Whether you're a family looking to enrol your children in the nippers programme, a keen athlete seeking to compete in surf sports, or simply someone who loves the beach and wants to contribute to their community, Somerton Surf Club has something to offer. With its friendly and inclusive atmosphere, the club provides a platform for making new friends, staying fit, and giving back to the local community.
Visitors to the club can also enjoy the amenities at “The Somerton” Bar and Bistro, where they can relax and unwind after a day at the beach. The club's kiosk is open during the week and on weekends, offering a range of refreshments and snacks for beachgoers.
