SILVER SALTIES OPEN DAY

Our Club hosted a Seniors’ Open Day on Sunday 9 November during Seniors Week to celebrate our existing senior members and invite more of the community to discover what the club offers.

The day highlighted the Club’s Silver Salties program, which brings older Australians together on our beach and in our clubhouse to stay active, make friends, and feel part of a supportive surf lifesaving community. Guests tried a variety of activities, from a gentle beach walk/run and swim/float to an exercise class focused on strength, balance, and falls prevention and a first aid session with an introduction to CPR and information on snake bites.

Everyone had a great time on a picture perfect morning starting on the beach and then heading upstairs to the community centre function room with the best view in the state!

Thank you to the patrol members, Rob Ross, Mel and Ben Gray and Scott Anderson for providing water safety whilst we had a dip, Yolande van Dyk and Bev Lissett for helping facilitite the whole day and Lucas Stanfield for the CPR demo and Q&A session.

Thank you to our sponsors Capability Physio, for the exercise class and advice on how to stay fit and healthy and on our feet.
