Cathy McIntyre, Floreat Surf Life Saving Club President

Welcome to Floreat SLSC

Floreat Surf Life Saving Club was first formed by a band of young men in 1947 under the name of North City Surf Life Saving Club and is dedicated to protecting beach goers who frequent the beautiful beaches of Perth and especially Floreat. 

This is achieved through a strong and dedicated base of vital volunteers and lifesavers, who from October to April patrol Floreat Beach on weekends and public holidays.. 

Our Lifesaving and Education team welcome new members and provide them with all the skills and knowledge necessary to patrol our beach through our renowned training and development program. Being a volunteer lifesaver is a great way to give back to the community, meet new people, keep fit, enjoy the outdoors and the beach 

Floreat SLSC provides a family friendly safe environment and member education to support lifesaving services and youth development with a growing number of nippers.

About us

Floreat SLSC Nippers comprises of over 250 children participating each Sunday. We have an army of volunteers who ensure the children are safe in the ocean environment.

Through the Nipper program we introduce junior members to surf lifesaving and surf sports giving them the skills to become senior members and surf lifesavers.

Floreat offers members the chance to participate in many activities including the Sunday morning Woodside Nippers Program for the whole family. The program is fun and informative where both parents and children will learn beach skills from our experienced and enthusiastic coaches, age managers and water safety.

Additionally, Floreat SLSC is proud to run Starfish Nippers. A modified and structured nipper program for all abilities that runs alongside our club’s Age Group Nippers program and focuses on beach and water safety and awareness and promotes inclusion and diversity.

Our team contribute many hours in developing these young Nippers into the future lifesavers we need to protect our beach. In order to maintain our well-rounded success, we look to the help and support of our community.
