Senior Surf

Midway Surf Life Saving Club has a proud history in surf lifesaving competitions at local, national, and international level. We’re proud to have helped coach and support exceptional talent.

While surf lifesaving exists to save lives, water is one of this region’s favourite playgrounds and so it also exists to create great surf sports for men and women.

Surf sports skills focus on swimming, knee boarding, surf ski, beach flags, beach sprints, two km run, IRB racing, boating and canoe. There’s a wide variety of disciplines and events all of which have been designed to keep surf lifesavers fit and active and replicate what may be required in a rescue situation.

Once someone has turned 14 and earned their Bronze, (Surf Lifeguard Award) they can compete at senior surf sports events in under-15, under-17, under-19, open, or 30+ masters age groups.

Competition provides an environment for surf lifeguard training to better meet the physical and psychological demands of saving lives in the surf.

At Midway, the senior surf squad trains regularly throughout the year. Competitions range from club, regional and national events. Our coach can cater to your needs.
