Get Involved
Surf Life Saving offers opportunities and pathways for people of all ages and capabilities.
Become a Nipper
Nippers is a junior activities program that introduces children aged 5 to 14 to Surf Life Saving. It’s a great way for children to make friends, be active and learn how to enjoy the beach safely. Nippers first learn about surf awareness and safety. As they progress through the various age groups, nippers will undergo lessons in wading, running, ocean swimming, board paddling and lifesaving skills as well as learning the basics of resuscitation and first aid.
Nippers runs from late October to March, and held at 5pm-6pm Friday nights and 10am-12pm Sunday morning.
Send us an email for any enquiries.
Become an Associate Member
Do you want to help out, but don't want to do a bronze medallion?
An associate membership allows you to do just that!
You can help with nippers on a Sunday, help on the BBQ, assist in running the club with promotion or fundraising or just help with some admin & logistics. This type of membership will allow you to be a social member of the club and will enable you to be part of our one big surf family.
Somerset SLSC understands that not everyone wants to get wet at the beach and are supportive in helping individuals achieve their goals.
We welcome you all to sign up and be part of a great club.
Please email us for more information.

Surf Boat Rowing
Surf boat racing is one of the most spectacular events in Surf Life Saving competitions. Each surfboat is manned by four rowers and is steered by a sweep. Crews compete head to head racing from the beach, rowing through the surf into open water and turning at a designated set of turning buoys or cans. After rounding the cans, the crews race back to the beach each keeping in their lane or alley. As the surfboat nears the beach the aim is to catch a wave and surf to shore whilst the sweep steers the boat to keep it upright and on the face of the wave.
Somerset Surf Club are really wanting interested people in rowing, for fun, exercise or competition. Send us an email for more information, and keep an eye on our socials for upcoming open days and training sessions.
Current senior training days are Tuesday and Thursday from 5pm, and Saturdat from 10am. See you there!
