Long serving member Garry Williams said the club was all about family, community and providing opportunities. “Our membership is engaged at levels of life saving,” he said.

“From our nippers like Mia and Kirra Booth, both are third generation lifesavers, to our cadets like Brea Bird and Chris Howarth who are our junior club captains.

“Jessica Williams (17) is also a member of the SLSWA Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter crew and will jump from the helicopter as a part of our demonstration.

“Our adult members include Rob Bates, who will be our patrol captain on Sunday.”

Mr Williams said SHSLSC relied on support from the community and businesses.

“Our partner’s contributions go directly back into assisting our volunteers,” he said.
