Every SLS club in Australia understands how important the families in the background contribute so much work all season to help us grow and be better without looking for recognition . At our surf club to Helen and Simon Briddon , I can’t underestimate how you both make this club better. Thank you both so much for everything you have done this year

Final nippers for the season and preso afterwards - what a great morning and a great way to complete our program Fantastic weather, surf conditions and turnup. We have been so fortunate that we didn't have to cancel one meeting this season and nippers went into the water in swim and boards at every session I placed expectations on myself this year taking over the program from Ant who invested so much time over so many years and made the transition so much easier. My expectations were far exceeded by the contribution of parents and families who want to be invested in this family friendly surf club and everything we are trying to achieve. To educate kids on surf safety but also to encourage and watch the confidence of nippers increase at every meeting in the surf This comes down to a truly wonderful water safety group that has been the most rewarding achievement for me this year To Ben Hamill as our water safety Co-Ordinator - as a leader and educator your consistent message and energy has made our season so successful To the Age managers that have not just filled a role but taken ownership of these kids and their own personalities, which has really seen a growth in their confidence thank you so much Lacey U5s Sand and Play , Andy U6s + 7s, Fraggle U8s, Dave U9s and 10s and to Kath and Ryan 11s-14s, I cant thankyou enough for your efforts this year and hope to see you next year We can have only have a successful nippers program with increased water safety and I asked parents to jump on board at the start of the year. To Grace , Liz and Kieran in obtaining your bronze this year and being leaders in the water each meeting you are such an important factor of why this year has gone so well. Your patience, empathy and encouragement to the nippers has been so wonderful to stand back and admire. If we could pick up another2-3 parents next year we would be in such a good place To the famous Five - the SRC kids I inherited from last year - the utmost respect for your skillset, communication and investment in our club - Lacey, Jemima, Remy, Audrey and Kieran To all the nipper parents in our club thankyou for believing and supporting on what we are doing at SWSLS
