Celebrating Women in Surf & International Women’s Day
Whilst we encourage female members to celebrate and volunteer, we value the contributions of all members and any patrolling member is welcome to volunteer and support this patrol. Sisters in the Surf is a special patrol which celebrates the 40+ years of women joining the Surf Life Saving movement. It welcomes any patrol member’s support on the day and aligns well to International Women’s Day Celebrations which fall on 8th March this year.
This is a Surf Life Saving Sydney endorsed initiative as well as an SLS Australia innovation award winner. We encourage it to be held at your Club’s patrol on 12th March to align to International Women’s Day. Please also think about adding it to your annual patrol roster. The zoom information session online is to share with your diversity champions/Lifesaving representatives or anyone interested to attend:
