New Members
It is great that you are interested in getting involved in Surf Life Saving. Surf Life Saving Clubs are central hubs of communities around Australia and are at the heart of Surf Life Saving.
Surf Clubs provide essential emergency services, a meeting place for members and the community, opportunities to train, a place to learn essential life saving skills and the opportunity to join a volunteer organisation rich in tradition.
Everyone is welcome in the Surf Life Saving community, no matter your age, background or skill level.
All new members – i.e. those who are not already a member of another surf club and do not hold any SLSA awards who wish to join Freshwater Surf Club as a cadet or senior active member, need to log on to the SLSA Members Area portal. You will need to create a new account if you have not done so before.
From here you will be able to enter the details required to apply for membership at Freshwater SLSC.
New members that plan to undertake Bronze Medallion Courses or Surf Rescue Certificate Courses, should join as “Probationary” Members via the portal. You will be required to pay your membership fee (varies according to age). Course fees will be charged separately.
If you should have any questions in regard to what category of membership you should select, please email admin@freshwaterslsc.com
Renewal of Membership
All membership renewals can be processed via the SLSA Members Portal.
Renewals for the 2023/2024 season will be accepted after 1 July 2023. Please do not renew your Nipper Memberships at the same time as yourself. If you are part of a Family Group on the Members Portal, please wait until Nipper Registrations are open before renewing your family group. Nipper registrations will open in mid August 2023.
Only financial members are covered by SLSNSW Insurance and iCare (formerly WorkCover) and are entitled to member benefits.
Transferring from another club
Members transferring from other surf clubs need to complete a transfer online through the SLSA Members Area. PLEASE DO NOT pay any fees. When your membership transfer application comes through to Freshwater, you will be contacted by admin and advised what payment and documentation is required to complete your transfer.
If a transferring member wishes to apply for Reserve Active or Long Service membership of our club and they are not in that category at their existing club, they will need to provide written proof from their existing club that their patrol record meets the relevant criteria for Active Reserve or Long Service membership.
