Salt Surf Life Saving Club

Salt Surf Life Saving Club, located in Kingscliff, is a community-oriented club that offers a range of activities and services to promote surf life-saving, competitive sports, and personal development. Established in 2004, it is one of the newest surf clubs in Australia but has quickly become a vital part of the local community.

The primary goal of Salt SLSC is to ensure the safety of beachgoers along the stretch of beach from Salt Village to Casuarina. Dedicated community volunteers patrol the beach on weekends and public holidays from September to May, providing a safe environment for residents and visitors to swim. During NSW school holidays, the club is supported by the Australian Lifeguard Service, extending the beach patrols to each day.

Salt SLSC prides itself on being a Family Club and actively contributes to the fabric of the local community. It attracts local families who are looking to connect with new people and become involved in surf life-saving. The club welcomes members of all ages and abilities, offering a variety of programmes and training sessions to meet individual needs.

One of the club's most successful programmes is its Salt nipper programme, which began in 2006. It has become one of the most progressive programmes on the coast, providing a safe, friendly, and supportive environment for children to develop their surf life-saving skills. The Saturday afternoon timeslot is particularly popular among kids and parents, allowing families to enjoy their Sundays together. The programme has seen a rapid increase in participants due to its welcoming and low-pressure atmosphere.

Salt SLSC also maintains a strong commitment to the local community by hosting various social functions throughout the year. Members, supporters, and local residents are encouraged to attend these events, fostering a sense of camaraderie and connexion. The club has a wide membership base that stretches along the Tweed Coast and even as far as Brisbane.

For those interested in joining Salt SLSC, various committees and volunteer opportunities are available. The club also has a rich history and ongoing development plans for its clubhouse. To stay updated, members can access the club's website for news, events, merchandise, photo galleries, and necessary club documents.

With its dedication to surf life-saving, inclusive programmes, and commitment to community, Salt Surf Life Saving Club provides a welcoming and supportive environment for all. Located in the beautiful coastal town of Kingscliff, it is a fantastic place to be for both locals and visitors alike.
