24.01.2022 WEEKEND WRAP On the beach front this weekend we had a full 2 days of closed beaches. Will the weather ever show some remorse to our poor beach? On Saturday we had patrol 5 completing their Bronze and ARTC Proficency. On Sunday we had patrol 1 patrolling with training happening everywhere, with IRB’s, Bronze & SRC and as you can see the nippers all intensity listening to our CTO. To top off the craziness we had club members help us out with a Bunnings sausage Sizzle at taren point on Sunday! All in all a great weekend for Garie SLSC #mysurflife #sls #redandyellowflags #rnp #garie #gariebeach #beach #beachedclosed #bunningssausagesizzle

21.01.2022 #OURCLUBISYOURCLUB // Our club is more than just a building. It lets us be who we are. It challenges us. It’s like a family. It’s a place that saves lives. It’s... like coming home. Our club is your club. As surf clubs re-open around the country for the warmer months after what has been a very challenging year, we’re encouraging new and old members to join our clubs, said SLSA President Graham Ford AM. There is a place for everyone at the surf club and everyone is welcome, he added. There are a variety of roles both on and away from the beach for those who wish to volunteer, or our clubs are simply a place to gather and join with others, at the heart of local communities." Australian Surf Life Saving Clubs are hubs for the community and deliver more than just an on-beach safety service but offer training, education, recreation, a place to socialise and give people a sense of purpose and belonging.

21.01.2022 WEEKEND WRAPUP This weekend’s wrap up starts all the back at Friday afternoon when our emergency call out teams were called to assist in the search for a missing rock fisherman off watamolla. (You can find the offical story on our Facebook). Along with the assistance from @tollambulance Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service - Official Site Surf Life Saving Sydney duty officers NSW Police Force(marine police) Our irb crews were able to locate the man after being swept 3...km from his original position, they were able to get get the young man into the IRB after being in the water for over 2hrs, asses him and then assisting in the winch into the toll helicopter . A fantastic result for surf life saving and for our members. We urge everyone who is fishing off rocks to wear a lifejacket and have a personal locating device on them. On Saturday we had @bondislsc join us on yet again another extremely busy and hot day at Garie. With the roads closed at just before 10am. The team were able to open the beach and monitor swimmers. An absolute cracker of a day at Garie with the support from the JetSki roaming the RNP coastline. Thanks again Bondi! stats- rescues 2 first aids - 1 Sunday came along and by 9:30 am the road was closed and there was a lineup to get onto Garie road which contained most of patrol 5! We had more irb crew training going on and a very successful lightning bronze/ src assessment, congrats to those who’s re now proficient lifesavers at Garie! 3 new bronze medallions and 2 SRC’s. Congrats and Thankyou to all our trainers and our assessor Brett. We also had the JetSki back patrolling Garie and the rest of our of the coastline. As the day went on, the sand got hotter, the bluebottles came in and the surf started to get a little messier but it didn’t deter the beach goers from the water. stats- rescues - 5 first aids - 6 (plus a few sore Bondi heads) Another cracker weekend at Garie Thankyou to all lifesavers and support crew. Buckle down for Australia Day patrol! #slsnsw #slssyd #patrol #swimbetweentheredandyellowflags #rescue #garie #gariebeach #royalnationalpark #assessment @lifesaverhelo @tollambulancerescue @bondisblsc

14.01.2022 Today we turn our attention to Garie Surf Life Saving Club and member Patricia Dillon especially. Pat joined the movement in the early 80's and has (although s...he may not have realised it) played an important role in leading the way for female members after her. Pat has been a leader at Garie SLSC through various roles such as Deputy President and other managerial positions. Most importantly she has led through her attitude of being able to "... roll up your sleeves and work part of a team". Something that has no doubt played large part in some of the clubs most recent accolades such SLSS Club of The Year. Pat's recognition marks the coverage of our three National Park Surf Clubs as part of our #40yearsofwomen celebrations. As such we say thank you to the many members of these clubs not profiled but have no doubt played their own role in the development of women in our movement.

The weather was lovely and every beach goer took a dip in our beautiful bit of ocean stats- rescues: 15 first aids: 1 JetSki rescues : 4...

03.01.2022 We’d like to say THANKS !! A very big thank you to the support Garie has had this year from our Partner organisations. Belgravia Leisure Different Strokes Swimming @swimsisters Together these organisations have assisted Garie to put through ... - 2 Auburn to Garie bronze/SRC squads (vanguard) - A lightning SRC/ Bronze squad - 2 IRB crew courses It’s awesome to have the support from Belgravia Leisure and the staff at Auburn Ruth Everuss Aquatic Centre, Kari and the team from Different Strokes Swim Lessons, Yusra and the team from @swimsisters. They have positively changed the lives of numerous members, now lifesavers at Garie. The help we get is so varied and shows what it takes to pull this off. From the use of rooms and Water Polo pool (for board and tube practice) at Auburn, Different Strokes for all their swim training and Yusra for inspiring so many women from Swim Sisters to become Surf Life Savers. Our newest IRB crew members are participants from our auburn to Garie (vanguard) bronze squad, a true testimony to their pre Garie activities. Finally. @Belgravia @Differentstrokes @swimsisters. Those members you have supported are already preventing incidents at the beach and have saved lives both at Garie and at unpatrolled beaches when on holiday. Thank you!

02.01.2022 WEEKEND WRAPUP ALBERT 2020 Garie has concluded and what a jam packed and crazy weekend it was everyone who came. All participants learnt skills including entering the boat, patient pick ups, negotiating the surf, rafting, rock rescues, search and rescue and parallel runs. Every participant developed their skills over the 2 days and enjoyed their time at Garie. We would like to thank the @surf_lifesaving_albert team once again for brining their program to Garie and shar...ing their knowledge with everyone . We hope to see you all next year! On another note we still had our regular scheduled bronze training this weekend, once again @cronullaslsc allowed us to use their beach on Saturday for water training. Thankyou again! We also had our irb crews come down and jump in on the irb action on Sunday! A HUGE weekend at Garie, some absolutely beautiful weather and surf topped it all off! We will share more action shots on our pages throughout the week. See more

02.01.2022 Easter Weekend Wrapup From Friday to Monday Garie patrols stood watch over our own beach! For every member that spent hours at Garie this Easter long weekend, THANKYOU. Easter Friday and Saturday we had patrol 4 on. An absolutely stunning 2 days for the guys. An early visit from the local RFS to get rid of a washed up petrol can kept the guys on their feet. They had boards and boats out and even a large pod of dolphins came out to play with the IRB. Amongst all thei...r fun the guys also patched up numerous, adventurous walkers and deterred visitors from a docile Diamond python on the helicopter pad. Well done patrol 4! stats: rescues - 3 first aids - 4 On Easter Sunday patrol 1 were down to have there fun at a yet again beautiful Garie day. With the banks bringing in a nice Garie edge by late afternoon it kept the guys on their toes. Patrol 1 spent the day training in IRBs and improving their board skills, great to see patrol 1 stats: rescues- 1 first aid- 1 last but not least Easter Monday had patrol 5 on deck to finish off the long weekend. Patrol 5 had a quite day with all the visitors shying away from the beach. Letting the patrol have some fun of their own. Another cracking weekend at garie. Well done patrol 5! stats: rescues- 0 first aids-0
