General Information about Masters

Masters is open to all those over 30 years of age and of any ability who wish to participate in the sport.

The aims of the club are to raise awareness of dangers present on the beach and in the sea and to teach beach and sea safety along with lifesaving skills. In the winter months the club meets regularly in the swimming pool to maintain fitness where, again, training has an emphasis on lifesaving. The masters section provides training and facilities to participate in surf lifesaving events at local, regional and national levels. The club provides the opportunity to obtain surf lifesaving qualifications at all levels.

There are regular training sessions in the spring, summer and autumn on Woolacombe Beach, for both beach events; sprinting, running and beach flags, and for sea events which include swimming, rescuing with torpedoes and boards, board racing and surf skiing. Although many members own their own equipment the club provides equipment for all members, including newcomers, to use.

The section tries to maintain a high profile organising a variety of events. These include an annual ladies day, an endurance Ironman and Triathlon, based on surf life saving. The local community, including parents from other sections of our club are encouraged to join in, have fun, get fit and learn to respect the beach and sea.
