FRIDAY NIGHT MEALS! BAR OPEN FROM 6pm. ALL WELCOME!

Welcome to the Christies Beach Surf Lifesaving Club

The Christies Beach Surf Life Saving Club is located on the esplanade at Christies Beach, overlooking the beach and an aquatic reserve. We are a volunteer Surf Life Saving Club, with quite a number of dedicated members patrolling the beach in the Summer seasons. We are also very active in the competitive scene of Surf Life Saving, with a very long list of past and current accolades. Come visit our club to see them!

We are also proud to announce that we have been selected as a joint host of the 2012 World Surf Lifesaving Championships! Now is the perfect time to join and show your Christies Beach pride!

Carnival Patrol

Health and Nutrition Session - Tuesday 25th October from 6:30pm

As competitive lifesavers, some members train very hard and may not know the best way to refuel their bodies after hard training sessions as we as before, during and after carnivals.
We have organised for Naturopath Jeanette Casey to visit our club on Tuesday 25th October at 6:30pm to speak to members about healthy eating habits. This event is open to all club members and we encourage everyone to take this opportunity to learn more about looking after our bodies as we enter the 2011/2012 season.

Cost is $2 per person.
