We protect the beach and the community

The primary function of Toowoon Bay SLSC is to provide a safe beach environment for swimmers, surfers and the beach going public.  The Club has provided a continuous patrolled presence since 1954.  Surf Lifesaving is a volunteer, not for profit community based surf rescue service that operates in the summer months as fixed location patrols during daylight hours.

During the summer months and particularly on weekends and public holidays, Toowoon Bay SLSC hosts some of the largest beach crowds on the Central Coast.  Although a relatively safe beach, due to its shape, headlands, and gently sloping sand, large crowds and varied sea conditions can provide many challenges to our beach patrols.

Volunteer patrolling members of Toowoon Bay SLSC are easily identifiable on the beach thanks to the red and yellow uniform.  The red and yellow flags signify the area which is safest for swimming and where the attention of the patrolling members attentions will mainly be focused on.  All are trained first responders.

Volunteer patrols are mounted by Toowoon Bay SLSC Patrolling teams on all weekends and public holidays between September School Holidays through to when the flags come down in April.
