Nippers

Nippers is about teaching valuable lifesaving and surf safety skills in a family and fun environment.

Lifesaving

Shelly Beach SLSC has been serving the community since 1955 with volunteer patrols between October and April each season. Our patrol teams are comprised of dedicated members who have a variety of qualifications such as aquatic rescue, first aid, spinal management and CPR.

Surf Sports

Surf sports are a great way to not only improve your lifesaving skills but also to actively participate in a healthy lifestyle.

Each season there is an opportunity for our members to participate at a club, branch, state, national and at international level.

Athletes can compete in a full range of beach and surf, pool rescue, surf boats, and surf board riding events.
