22.01.2022 Our IRB team showed true grit at the recent QLD IRB Championships with Caleb and Jason making it into the quarter finals in both mass and surf events. Only just missing out on the semi finals. Both Alistair and Jason had challenging starts for their 2 quarter finals and also just missed out progressing to semi finals as well. The team showed true spirit and was able to gain more experience for Toby who had his first IRB state titles. The guys just missing out have spurred them on for bigger and better results next season. Plus keep an eye for an up coming 2021 team meeting and planning session.

15.01.2022 Nipper Families it's your turn! It’s SOS (Support Our Savers) Appeal Week this week where we raise funds for our amazing Surf Life Saving Club which watches over locals, holidaymakers, nippers and their families on our beautiful beach every summer. This year we’ve gone virtual! (Kicking and screaming into the modern era but arrived none the less.) This means, thanks to the wonders of the World Wide Web, it’s easier than ever to share the appeal with your family and friends ...far and wide. Plus! We have our very own Nipper Tally so we can have boasting rights around the club when we raise the most money. The funds we raise go towards the vital equipment, facilities, and training needed to support volunteer lifesavers and keep our beaches safe. This year, we hope, the money raised will also help to fill the gap that the Covid lockdown and restrictions have made to the funding we usually rely on from the Supporters Club (upstairs) as well as many of our amazing sponsors. How can you help SOS? IT'S SO EASY! Share this post or the link to your socials, let your friends and family know that this appeal directly helps your club, your beach, and your nippers - https://sosweek.raisely.com/coolumnippers On behalf of Coolum Nippers, thank you for getting involved with this crucial fundraising appeal.

06.01.2022 So the first round of the Ocean Roar went off on the weekend at Met Caloundra. There was a lovely swell and shore dump in that really tested our teams. Our Open Male team got through to the Mass final and though they where unable to finish they did well considering the last minute crew member change. Our 45+ got a second in the Mass rescue and a third in the Surf and will only get better as the season progresses ... We are only a small but loyal team who at the end of the day went out, had fun, didnt get DQ or injured so overall a great day in our books. Well done to Toby Andrews who is our patient extraordinaire for his first carnival. A big thanks to Shane and Logan Pieters for coming down and showing us your support. Another big thank you to our 3 officials on the day in Greg Bott, Beryl Henshaw and Allison Smithies. Looking forward to our next carnival in 2 weeks at Alexandra Headlands. We are always looking for new members to join the team for next season so if you are interested why not come down and have a look and a chat with us, we would be more than happy to have you on the team.

06.01.2022 Coolum Beach SLSC & Surf Lifesaving QLD is seeking your support for our major annual fundraising appeal. We are asking you to "Support our Savers" and recognise the incredible work performed by our volunteers up and down the coastline. Rain, hail or shine, our volunteer lifesavers are out on the beaches every weekend during the patrol season to watch over and keep swimmers safe in the water. SOS Week is pivotal in ensuring that our volunteer surf life savers have the necessar...y equipment, training, and resources to continue safeguarding Queensland beaches. Our beaches may be free to enjoy, but theres a very real and tangible cost associated with keeping them safe. While surf lifesavers volunteer their time, the costs of setting up a single patrol add up to more than $80,000. As a charity organisation, SLSQ relies heavily on the generosity of partners and sponsors to deliver our lifesaving services, along with a range of educational and community awareness programs.
