About

Our Members

The Albany Surf Life Saving Club is proud to have more than 400 members, ranging in age from 5 to 60+ years. From our youngest Nippers through to Masters competitors and long-standing volunteers, every member plays a part in making our club strong and welcoming.

Each summer, members come together at Middleton Beach to take part in surf sports and training from November to April. Weekly Sunday competitions feature beach sprints, flags, swimming, board paddling, surf boat rowing, and other water events — with opportunities to progress to regional, state, and national championships. Mid-week training sessions also give members the chance to further develop skills and fitness.

We currently have around 150 active patrolling members who dedicate their time to keeping our community safe on the beach. [Find out more about our Patrol here.]

But being a member of Albany SLSC is about more than competition and patrols. It’s about:

• Teamwork – building skills and friendships that last a lifetime.
• Contribution – giving back to the community through a vital public service.
• Growth – learning new skills, staying active, and stepping up to new challenges.

There is a role for everyone — whether it’s lifesaving, coaching, officiating, mentoring, administration, or simply lending a hand at events. Our members are at the heart of everything we do, and together we make Albany SLSC a club where people of all ages and abilities can belong, learn, and thrive.
