About
Mornington Life Saving Club, located on Mills Beach in Mornington, Victoria, is one of the oldest sports clubs in the area, established officially in 1914. The club is an integral part of the local community, providing a safe beach environment, water safety training, and surf life saver training. Trained and qualified surf life savers volunteer their time to run the club's surf lifesaving patrol service throughout the summer months, ensuring the safety of beachgoers.
Water safety is the main focus of Mornington Life Saving Club, and they offer a comprehensive Nipper training programme for younger members. This programme provides a fun and competitive environment for children to learn about water safety. The club's youth group also offers a controlled social outlet for teenagers who want to further their fitness, life-saving abilities, and competition skills.
Mornington Life Saving Club boasts a strong and competitive Boaties group, with Surf Boats that make an impressive sight as they power out from the Clubhouse. The club's success has always relied on the voluntary spirit of its members, who assist in the running of the club and its activities. Affiliated with Life Saving Victoria, Mornington Life Saving Club welcomes new members and encourages existing members to stay active and involved.
The club is grateful for the support of its sponsors, whose commitment allows them to hold swim events, purchase equipment, and provide an excellent training programme for their members, particularly the younger ones. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a sponsor, Mornington Life Saving Club encourages reaching out to discuss sponsorship opportunities.
Mornington Life Saving Club has a long and rich history, as evidenced by a newspaper transcript from the Mornington Standard in 1911. The transcript highlights an enthusiastic meeting of the townspeople of Mornington, where plans were made to establish the club and offer swimming and life-saving instruction to the community. The commitment to water safety and lifesaving has continued since then, making Mornington Life Saving Club an essential part of the local community for over a century.
