Congratulations to our Chairman Paul 'Stretch' Fownes OAM
​Congratulations to Club Chairman Paul Fownes on being awarded the highest accolade a police officer can receive — the Australian Police Medal.

NSW Police Force long-serving senior officer Chief Inspector Paul Fownes, who is also the president of the South Maroubra SLSC, has been given the highest police honour - an Australian Police Medal.

​This year during the Australia Day National Awards, I was thrilled to see the hard work of Life Member John Ludlow (dec) acknowledged nationally, receiving Order of Australia recognition. John was instrumental in the establishment of South Maroubra SLSC, South Maroubra Dolphins Winter Swimming Club, Wylie’s Baths Trust and Matraville Soldiers Settlement School. Our Club joins together to acknowledge John Ludlow OAM and all that he has done for our community.

It’s the Christmas Scramble this weekend. 

There’ll be entertainment, a bbq, games and the bar will be open! We’ve also heard Santa will pay us a visit!

​From 11am.. See you there! ​

​Welcome new Bronzies and SRC! Congrats to all the new Bronze Medallion and SRC holders who have joined us on patrol.

The education team put through 28 new BMs and 21 new SRC in the last squad adding more skilled lifesavers to our ranks. Well done team!

Be sure to welcome our new recruits! If you know anyone interested in gaining some key lifesaving skills get in touch with Mike at [email protected] We have new squads starting right now!

Can you help with a sub over the holiday period? With the beginning of December we move closer to the holiday time of year; and with the predicted hot weather a few extra hands would be helpful.

How can you help you ask?

1. Pick up a sub. There is currently a few subs requests online. Jump on your member portal https://members.sls.com.au. Log in and select the 'Patrols' drop down menu item and then 'Patrol Swap'. Pick up any you can help out with!
2. If you're around and free on upcoming public holidays pop down to the beach and help on patrol. Whether it's an hour or a whole patrol your help is appreciated.

You can see the roster and patrol teams on the club website
