Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club

 



Palais Thumbnail
 There is evidence that there has been a "Beach Patrol" along the Semaphore - Largs Bay beach since 1909. This Semaphore Beach Patrol subsequently became affiliated with the Royal Life Saving Association. In July 1953 the club formally agreed to leave the Royal Life Saving Association and join the Surf Life Saving Association. This was the beginning of the Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club (SSLSC) in its current form.

 The SSLSC was given formal responsibility for the safety of swimmers (and non-swimmers!) using a stretch of beach from Escourt House (Tennyson) north to the Largs Bay jetty. Members have patrolled this area every summer for the last 50 years.
