Bilgola surf life saving club

Our Volunteer Surf Lifesavers patrol Bilgola Beach from September to April each year, ensuring that beach goers have a safe and enjoyable time at our beach.

At Bilgola SLSC our Club’s purpose is to help cultivate and develop an active and healthy community. We have plenty to offer across many areas, from becoming a Surf Lifesaver or a Nipper, to Sport, Education and Functions.

Enjoy Bilgola Beach…

  • ❤️💛 FLAGS ARE UP! 💛❤️

And we’re off - the 2026/27 beach patrol season officially kicked off this weekend! 

Our awesome Billy Patrollers were back on the sand, ready to keep our community safe every weekend and public holiday between now & April 26 - that’s over 70 days 😮👏

Saturday was glorious ☀️...Sunday not so much 🌧️

As we don the red and yellow, we are proud to be part of a massive team effort across the state. Did you know that across NSW this season:

• 129 surf life saving clubs are manning the beaches 🌊

• Over 22,000 volunteer lifesavers are patrolling over 1500km of coastline stretching from Lighthouse Beach near the QLD border down to Pambula Beach near the  VIC border 💪

• The collective goal remains clear: zero preventable deaths on our coastline 🛑

Shout out to our Directors of Surf Life Saving (Dave, Bridie & Matt) & Club President (Greg) + a number of key players who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes doing all the prep to ensure we’re ready for season start 👊🏻

Let’s make it a safe one! 

Remember the number one rule of the beach: Always swim between the red and yellow flags. If we can’t see you, we can’t save you. 🔴🟡

See you on the sand! ☀️

ps Huge thanks to Dave Madew & all the other Members who pitched in for our Club Clean-up yesterday...it was miserable weather but a skip bin has been filled & things are looking good! 👏👏
