It was a fantastic opportunity to build skills, make new friends, and enjoy plenty of fun activities. Here&rsquo;s what some of our South Maroubra participants had to say:<br /></span></span><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Violet Morris<br /></span></span><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&ldquo;I had an </span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">amazing</span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"> time at the camp! At first I only knew two friends, but by the end I had made lots more from different clubs. I learned CPR and how to use a defibrillator, and we played pool rescue games. My favourite activity was riding the IRB and jet ski &mdash; especially getting flung off when they turned corners! South Maroubra even won the trivia competition, and I scored a free t-shirt and hat. I wish I could do it all again!&rdquo;<br /></span></span><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Alessia Grilli<br /></span></span><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&ldquo;The surf lifesaving camp was the best time with my friends. We went on the IRB and jet ski, enjoyed the water slide and pool, and played lots of games. I&rsquo;m so glad I attended because it connected me with many more nippers I might never have met otherwise. The night games were hilarious, and my trivia team won, which meant we all received a Sydney Branch polo shirt and hat!&rdquo;<br /></span></span><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Zoe Canning<br /></span></span><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&ldquo;I&rsquo;m so grateful for the opportunity to attend the camp. Over the weekend I learned tube rescues and CPR, and even got to ride on an IRB and jet ski. I loved meeting new people and working with them in the activities. It was unforgettable, and I&rsquo;m thankful for everything I got to experience.&rdquo;<br /></span></span><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Indigo Stewart<br /></span></span><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&ldquo;Nippers camp was honestly so much fun and such an awesome experience. No matter your confidence level, you learn so many important skills &mdash; CPR, tube rescues, pool rescues, and even about Rescue Boat 30. Each day had different activities, and we were put into groups to meet new people. My favourite part was definitely getting flipped off the IRBs and jet skis, and winning trivia! I&rsquo;m super grateful I got to go, and I&rsquo;d love to do it again.&rdquo;<br /></span></span><br /><span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight:700">Well done to our U13s for representing South Maroubra so proudly!</span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"> Not only did they sharpen their lifesaving skills, but they also built friendships and showed great team spirit.</span></span><br /><br />&#8203;</div>  <div><div style="height:20px;overflow:hidden"></div> <div id='875204325642545142-slideshow'></div> <div style="height:20px;overflow:hidden"></div></div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[INTERBRANCH CHAMPIONSHIPS]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au/club-news/interbranch-championships]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au/club-news/interbranch-championships#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 04 Dec 2025 05:10:28 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au/club-news/interbranch-championships</guid><description><![CDATA[Sydney Branch Makes History &mdash; Four-Peat Champions!What a weekend it was for Surf Life Saving Sydney at the Interbranch Championships, and we&rsquo;re proud to say South Maroubra athletes were right there in the thick of it!Can we do it?

If you know of any lifesavers that for one reason or another that haven&rsquo;t received re-joining information, we&rsquo;d appreciate it if you could get them to make contact with our Lifesaving Team via&nbsp;<a href="mailto:adol@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au" target="_blank">adol@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au</a>&nbsp;. Ash will sort out any lifesaving concerns including rosters, rejoining and the new CPR upskill requirements which all lifesavers must complete.<br /><br /><span></span><ul style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34)"><li>A big&nbsp;<strong><em>THANK YOU</em></strong>&nbsp;is in order as we head into the new season. To all of our Directors and Office staff that have been overwhelmed with calls and visits to the club for help and preparation for the new season, a big thank you. To our club educators who have been working non stop to deliver the new CPR upskill program to all Lifesavers, thank you guys! To our Nipper admin team, a big well done, to prepare clothing, admin for 1400 kids is amazing and Sarah for helping me with posting the 5 top nipper tips on Facebook thank you. To our Age Managers and Assistants &ndash; can&rsquo;t wait to see you in action again and encourage all parents to get involved in this wonderful activity. Simply reach out to your age managers if you&rsquo;d like to join the volunteer teams.</li><li><strong><em>Just on Nippers</em></strong>&nbsp;&ndash; to all our families please make sure if you haven&rsquo;t already done so, join the&nbsp;<strong>Clubs and Nippers Facebook sites</strong>&nbsp;for the latest information including any change of times or cancellations. We have posted 5 top tips for nippers to consider for this season, take a read. Some tips include parking. If you&rsquo;re a part of the 9am crew then parking in and around the club car parks will be FULL so do yourself a favour and consider other options such as drop and go, or nearby parking options away from the club. When coming off the beach use the&nbsp;<strong>public showers</strong>&nbsp;to wash down your children, remember the club house is NOT a play school, so children should play outside or on the beach. If you need change rooms or private showers and toilets we&nbsp;<strong>HIGHLY&nbsp;</strong>recommend using the new&nbsp;<strong>YELLOW AMENITIES</strong>&nbsp;block as you&rsquo;ll enjoy clean open private space for boys, girls and disabled. Simply walk down the beach ramp on the northern side of the club, connect with the footpath which brings you to the facilities. Food and drinks each Sunday are available from the kiosk, your morning coffee from our coffee van, your social refreshments from our club bar which opens at 10.45am &ndash; everyone is welcome all day for these.</li><li><strong><em>What&rsquo;s coming up</em>?</strong>&nbsp;Plenty of activities with competition training underway, planning for Octoberfest on&nbsp;<strong>Sunday 26/10&nbsp;</strong>in the park. If you&rsquo;re a competitor or would like to help us run the bbq, serve customers for a couple of hours, have an RSA and can pour a few beers we&rsquo;d appreciate that help. Email Linda&nbsp;<a href="mailto:vp@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au" target="_blank">vp@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au</a></li><li><strong><em>A reminder to members</em></strong>, our club offers financial members a fantastic venue hire deal for your birthday, anniversaries, work Christmas parties and special events in the Heritage room, Whilst bookings are coming in thick and fast we love seeing our own members enjoy the venue. Our bar staff are all club members so there&rsquo;s a special feel about using your club for your events. Enquires to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:office@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au" target="_blank">office@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au</a></li><li><strong><em>We&rsquo;re always after volunteers and sponsors</em></strong>&nbsp;so if you&rsquo;re looking for a task, working for an organisation that would like help keep a very &lsquo;Australian&rsquo; iconic club healthy, perhaps you&rsquo;re retired and would like a small job to keep you focused or occupied, or simply would like to help us run this club of over 2000+ members why not make contact with us&nbsp;<a href="mailto:office@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au" target="_blank">office@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au</a></li><li><strong><em>Sunday Socials</em></strong>&nbsp;&ndash; we&rsquo;re super proud of our Sunday Socials where our entire community is welcome to come down and join members in a beautiful and unique part of Maroubra. We&rsquo;re open every Sunday and most Public Holidays btw&nbsp;<strong>10.45am to 6pm</strong>.

Enquiries re the electronic card to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:finance@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au" target="_blank">finance@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au</a></li><li>If you know of anyone that would like to do their Bronze Medallion and join us on the beach, Nicole and her education team will be running a course very soon. Check out our website for more information or email&nbsp;<a href="mailto:education@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au" target="_blank">education@southmaroubrasurfclub.com.au</a></li><li>Finally, a big shout out to&nbsp;<strong>Randwick City Council</strong>&nbsp;that has helped us tremendously &nbsp;with Nipper and Octoberfest preparation and to&nbsp;<strong>Michael Daley MP</strong>&nbsp;<strong>Member for Maroubra</strong>&nbsp;that has helped us to fund the upgrade of our Audio/Visual system ensuring that we can communicate to over 2000 people each weekend in a professional and clear manner. Council will soon be installing a bubbler system near the showers, we are also seeking information about a bike rack to store pushbikes when coming down to the beach. As you can see its all happening @ South Maroubra Surf Life Saving Club!</li></ul><br /><br /><span></span>See you at the beach and make sure you bring sun protection.<br />Paul &lsquo;Stretch&rsquo;
