Every summer season (December – March), between the iconic red and yellow flags on our beautiful Middleton Beach, you can find our surf lifesavers and lifeguards.

Between those flags, we draw a line in the sand: everyone who crosses it should enter and leave the water safely.

Albany SLSC also extend their patrol operations beyond the red and yellow flags and provide volunteer patrolling services from Midds to Surfers beach.

Our community safety is paramount. Each season, our volunteer services deliver first aid, emergency care (including rescues) and surf safety information to the public.

Run weekly with comp points for youth & elected seniors.

Sunday 7:30am – 8:30am

A 3-part structure replicated each week consisting of Water, Beach and Relay/Team activities, with a rotating focus and even overall coverage of the main carnival competition formats.  Seniors and masters may elect to participate in an open ‘senior’ club championship points system which are tallied through the year to reward consistency and performance.  This is a no-pressure, no-obligation initiative to maximise participation, but young ‘seniors’ and youth ‘cadets’ are likely to respond well to the continuation of a points system and indeed is generally a club expectation.

This week: Smith Thornton Swim + Flags + Sprint Relay

Our vibrant and excitable Woodside Nippers can be seen at Middleton Beach every Sunday from November to March between 9-10.30am.
Woodside Nippers is Surf Life Saving WA’s junior surf awareness and beach safety program that introduces children aged 5 years to 13 years to the great Australian weekend tradition of surf lifesaving.
Our main program is held on Sunday mornings with additional training (optional) provided in beach and board events on Tuesday afternoons. Our Nippers run, swim, paddle, laugh, and make new friends. It’s what we call serious fun while they complete the Woodside Nippers curriculum comprised of 4 key learning areas:

1. Surf Awareness
