South Australians are blessed to live in a vibrant society and a clean environment. Our natural landscape offers countless opportunities to enjoy a pristine environment, particularly our beaches. Thanks to the tireless efforts and vigilance of our surf lifesavers, the leisure time we spend at the beach is as safe as is possible. While we compete, relax and enjoy South Australia’s many beaches, surf lifesavers quietly protect our personal safety. The members of Surf Life Saving SA deliver emergency services, first aid, lifeguards, training, officiating and coaching, education programs and surf sports. Surf Life Saving SA helps build healthy communities. Since 2002, we have invested more than $10.2 million in Surf Life Saving facilities for South Australia. From 2014/15 this will increase to annual funding of $2 million for upgrades to Surf Life Saving facilities. Through the Community Emergency Services Fund, we also contribute toward shark and beach patrols. Surf Life Saving SA also benefits from our Government’s Sport and Recreation Sustainability Program grants. The sport of surf lifesaving also provides local, national and international competition opportunities for more than 9,000 members through Nippers, Juniors, Seniors and Masters events and carnivals. I understand that junior Surf Lifesaving participation has tripled during the past decade. Surf Lifesaving is a wonderful way to grow a child’s confidence, understanding, independence and skills in aquatic environments. The summer of 2015 will mark a new era for the iconic State Government supported vacation water awareness program, VACSWIM SA. For the first time, Surf Life Saving SA will work directly with the Government to facilitate the delivery of the program at 41 beach locations throughout South Australia. This is an exciting change for the program and creates a far stronger connection between VACSWIM SA participants and local Surf Life Saving Clubs. On behalf of the South Australian Government and the hundreds rescued each year by Surf Lifesavers across the State, I offer my sincere thanks for the valuable contribution Surf Life Saving SA makes to community wellbeing, and safety.

For over 40 years we’ve been helping to keep beaches safe. So thanks to our people in yellow and red.....and green. It is an honour to write the foreword for this special edition to mark the 40 years of the BP Surf Life Saving partnership. This magazine is a very special record of that partnership as well as the development of power craft in New Zealand. BP’s partnership with Surf Life Saving started in 1968. Europa had provided the Worser Bay Club with a new surf boat early in the year which was used to save passengers of the Wahine in Wellington Harbour. That event made my predecessors realise what role the company could play in helping to save lives. Today, 40 years later, BP supports the 208 IRBs (inflatable rescue boats) used by Surf Life Saving Clubs around the country to keep our beaches safe. The partnership is mutually beneficial and is about much more than just money. It’s about people. The thousands of volunteers that give their time to keep our beaches safe, they are the people that saved 1681 lives last summer, our financial support just helped to give them a tool to assist them in their work.

  • Surf Life Saving New Zealand – Sport Policy Statement SPS010
    Surf Life Saving New Zealand – Sport Policy Statement SPS010 Subject: IRB Racing Personal Protective Equipment Endorsement Date: March 2016 Endorsed By: SLSNZ Review Date: June 2016 1. Introduction Surf Life Saving IRB Racing is currently one of the few motor sport events in New Zealand that does not wear helmets, and the only water motor sport/extreme sport not to wear lifejackets in New Zealand. As a leading water safety organisation, we should be leading the way in reducing risks where appropriate for our members, as well as setting a good image and example to our communities on the beach. The introduction of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is one area we look to reduce risk along with the following key safety measures: Eliminate, Substitution, Isolation, Engineering, Administrative. There is increased pressure from organisations like Water Safety NZ, Coastguard and Harbour Masters regarding the wearing of Lifejackets for all boat users, power or unpowered. IRB racing has the highest injury rate to our members, and we are required to make practical steps to reduce risk and increase protection where possible. 2. Objectives of this Policy The objective of this policy is to provide best safety standards for members competing in IRB Racing and outline the requirements for personal protective equipment required. 3. Rules The following rules have been developed by the National IRB Advisory Group and National Sport Committee. With the one exception below, lifejackets are compulsory for all IRB Drivers, Crew and Patients in competition and competition training from the 1st January 2016. Prior to the 1st January 2016, the wearing of lifejackets is highly recommended.
