Each year at the beginning of the season, specifically the last weekend in Nov, the 3 south coastal surf clubs of Albany, Denmark and Esperance converge on the beach at Bremer Bay for a weekend of coaching/training/friendly competition and networking. The 3 clubs alternate the responsibility of hosting for the weekend: this year Denmark Surf Life Saving Club has the pleasure.

It offers Nippers, Youth, and Seniors an encouraging and fun environment to explore surf sports, and other opportunities for education, training and skill development. SLSWA reps will be in attendance to assist. The weekend is open to ALL club members and is a great way for new parents to get a feel for how the club operates and for Nippers to make new surf club buddies.

Bremer is a magnificent location and only 2 hours drive away so it makes for a very do-able weekend.

Generally, most club members stay in the Caravan Park nearest to the main beach. The park reserves an area of the park for clubbies but members will need to individually book their own accommodation through the park.  The weekend is BYO everything. Contact Bremer Bay Caravan Park on 08 98374018 to book.

The program usually covers training on the Saturday afternoon, a BBQ and get together on the Sat night and a friendly carnival on the Sunday morning. Events wrap up around midday to allow Esperance plenty of time to travel home in daylight.

Every summer season (December – February), 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.

All  patrolling members are required to refer to the patrols rosters in their SLS Member Portal.
