Patrol iron-person relay 2025
What an amazing afternoon at the 3rd Scarborough Wombarra Patrol Iron-Person Relay….
In the event of an emergency on the beach, phone “000” and ask for NSW Police
Welcome to Scarborough-Wombarra SLSC. We are a small surf lifesaving club located on Dharawal country, 70km south of Sydney, 10km south of the Royal National Park, 3km south of the iconic Sea Cliff Bridge, and 20km north of Wollongong.

Scarborough-Wombarra currently have teams that patrol the beach on Sundays and Public Holidays from the September school holidays to Anzac Day.
Patrols run from 10am to 5pm, and the roster is broken into 2 shifts per day, 10.00am to 1.30pm, and 1.30pm to 5.00pm.
The club also assists Wollongong City Council in patrolling the beach on some Saturdays during the peak of the season, from 11.00am to 3.00pm.
We have a number of different membership types available, ranging from active patrolling members to the younger nippers and their parents.
In order to patrol the beach, members (and potential members) must first obtain their Bronze Medallion or Surf Rescue Certificate.
Scarborough-Wombarra has the in-house resources available to run these courses and get potential members the necessary accreditation.
Nippers is for the kids, it’s the fun part of what we do!
Surf lifesaving is a great activity for growing a child’s confidence, knowledge and skills in the beach environment.
By providing a Nippers program, Scarborough-Wombarra SLSC are ensuring that the next generation learns valuable life skills and knowledge which one day might save their life, or even perhaps the life of another.

Pete tirelessly strives to use surf and swim skills as tools to foster inclusivity and diversity within not only the SLS community, but across the Illawarra.

☀️F A R E W E L L S U M M E R☀️ And just like that, the escapement shadows have crept up the beach and the flags have come down for the last time of the 25/26 season. It’s been our pleasure welcoming our community and visitors to the beach each weekend and ensuring that everyone has a safe and fun time in the surf and sun. A massive thank you to our patrolling members for your diligence across the season, especially over this last long weekend of extra patrols - you have all played a part in keeping our community safe 💛❤️💛 Although the flags are down, there is still plenty of action across the offseason, with our end of season celebration, the SLSI Awards of Excellence and IRB training courses. Stay warm over the winter months and see you all next summer! #swslsc #mysurflife #coalcoast #surflifesavingaustralia #surflifesaving

Please save the date for 2025-26 senior club presentation. Friday May 22nd 6pm for a 6.30 start. A great way to cap the season on which we have achieved a fair amount in the club renovation, and ever improving nipper program and a great core of patrol members working as a collective.

🥳Congratulations to our latest SRCs!🥳 We’re stoked to see two new Surf Rescue Certificates (SRCs) through this summer. Big congratulations to the boys for their dedication to learning the foundations of what it means to be a surf life saver. For late stage nippers (U14s), SCR is the entry level award (min age 13) leading to Bronze Medallion (min age 15) and is a great way to continue building confidence in the surf and gain vital life saving skills. SCRs learn CPR and are trained in the operations associated with being a patrolling member, including teamwork, communications, surf awareness and open water rescues. These are skills gained for life that are just as important beyond the beach, as they are in a surf lifesaving context. Not only have they gained skills that could save a life, but also a valuable addition to their resume representing their character in work ethic and community mindedness, their ability to test themselves with new skills, and importantly listen and learn from experienced people. Shout out to Bindi, Tommy and Gary who gave up time outside of their own patrol days to help with training. For any senior nippers interested in doing their SCR, email the club to find out when the next training course will be. #mysurflife #swslsc #coalcoast #surflifesavingnsw #surflifesavingaustralia
