Surf Lifesaving is a multifaceted movement that has its origins in Australia in the early 1900's. In essence, as the name suggests, the focus is on providing a beach based lifeguard service which depending on country and region, may be voluntary or "full time". The other key parts of surf lifesaving are the sports which have developed out of training programs for lifeguards. These include beach, pool and ocean based sports such as surfboat racing, "flags" and Ironman as examples.

I haven't posted anything here for a few days - mainly because I temporarily lost the power to move my arms and legs and all associated appendages without groaning. This was the result of a moment of madness that had me signing up for our Surf Lifesaving Club's winter swim training sessions. I found myself floundering up and down the lanes of Waterworld in the company of men and women that I'm beginning to suspect are some hybrid aquatic spawn with gills cleverly disguised to look like ears. I digress... the big news for those interested or involved in Surf Lifesaving was the announcement ... Read Full Story
