A wonderful opportunity to hone some skills and make new friends. Simply RSVP to [email protected] if youd like to go along.

17.01.2022 PATROL SEASON COMING SOON! With patrols starting in 10 days, wed love to invite our Patrol members to join us at the Shed this Sunday 8 December from 12pm (post Nipper carnival). Its a great chance to make sure you have your uniform sorted, meet some new members, have a chat and a drink or two. Hope to see you all there!

17.01.2022 It is with much regret that today we have made the decision to cancel our last two Nipper sessions of the season. Whilst our activities are within the government guidelines, Surf Life Saving WA is strongly recommending that all Clubs cancel any non-essential activities to assist with slowing the spread of COVID-19. In addition, some parents have chosen to keep their children home from school this week so we can only assume they will feel the same for group sporting activities.... Further to this, Swings & Roundabouts must comply with the latest government measures and ensure they keep their patronage below 100 (although an outdoor venue, customers still need to utilise the indoor facilities) and have therefore had to cancel our Wind Up on Sunday 29 March. We will reschedule as soon as we can give this event the celebration it deserves. A big thank you to everyone who pitched in this season, its always a huge team effort. We have plenty of awards to hand out when the time is right. We hope you will all still make it down to the beach over the coming weeks and stay active, healthy and well. The Smiths Beach Surf Life Saving Club Board
