The 2025/26 patrol and Nippers season is underway at Helensburgh-Stanwell Park Surf Life Saving Club, with a busy summer ahead both on and off the beach.
Our volunteer lifesavers are back on patrol each weekend, keeping beach-goers safe and preparing for a strong season of surf sports competition. This year, we’re also excited to bring back Senior Pointscore, open to all financial members aged 14 and over. Check out the club’s social media or website for full details on how to get involved.
It’s been a great start for Nippers with large numbers across all age groups and plenty of enthusiasm on Sunday mornings. We’ve welcomed a new committee this season, with Chairperson Stuart and Secretary Sharon leading the way.
A big congratulations to Halle and Nate on their selection into the Illawarra Inter-Branch Team, a fantastic achievement and well-deserved recognition of their effort and dedication.
And back by popular demand, Santa Photos return Sunday, 30 November. This is Nippers’ biggest fundraiser and a favourite community event. Bookings will open mid-November, so keep an eye out for details.
Thank you to all members, families and volunteers for their continued support – we look forward to a great season ahead.
