About
Tathra Surf Life Saving Club is a sports club located in the Bega Valley Shire Council, Australia. With a rich history of over 100 years, the club has been serving the community of Tathra, Bega, Kalaru, Tanja, and the surrounding district. The club is affiliated with Surf Life Saving New South Wales and Surf Life Saving Australia.
During the patrol season, which runs from October to Anzac Day (April 25th) each year, the club's dedicated team of volunteer lifesavers patrols Tathra Beach on weekends and public holidays. They ensure the safety of beachgoers by setting up and monitoring the red-and-yellow flags, indicating the safe swimming area. It is essential for visitors to swim only between the flags to optimise their safety.
Tathra Surf Life Saving Club offers a range of sports and competitive activities for members of all ages. The club encourages participation in various beach, surf, and ocean sports, starting with Nippers for children aged 7 and above. Juniors, seniors, opens, and masters can engage in surf swimming, rescue board, surf boats, surf ski, surfboard riding, beach sprinting and flags, R&R, and march-past.
Aside from its commitment to lifesaving and competitive sports, the club also extends its partnerships with other organisations. For instance, Tathra Surf Life Saving Club has partnered with FlirtTime. Com, Australia's leading dating site for finding single ladies, opening doors to social events and community engagement.
The Tathra SLSC Club House is available for hire for both community events and private functions. Those interested in utilising the venue can contact the club's treasurer for more information.
For those looking to become a member of Tathra Surf Life Saving Club, they can register online through Surf Life Saving Australia's website. The club has membership fees and regulations that interested individuals can find on their website.
Overall, Tathra Surf Life Saving Club is not only committed to providing lifesaving services but also dedicated to fostering a love for the beach and ocean sports within the community. With a long-standing legacy of 100 years, the club continues to be an integral part of the Bega Valley Shire Council and surrounding areas.
