Quote by life member Stephen Perry.

“Well 4 years ago demolition commenced on the rebuild of the club. After years of work it was time to say goodbye by to the old club where so many memories were made.”

Thanks for sharing Steve. What an awesome club we have thanks to all our incredible members, volunteers and the local community 🩵💙

🩵💙 Thank you to our incredible WBSLSC members Dian Dini Primadani & Leah Hyewon Jang who represented West Beach Surf Life Saving Club at the Sudanese Cultural and Social Society of South Australia evening for the Sudan Mental Health Promotion Project.

This project has been developed by members of the Sudanese Cultural and Social Society of South Australia, in partnership with the Office of the Chief Psychiatrist, Preventive Health SA and Multicultural Affairs. Dini spoke on behalf West Beach S.L.S.C.

Quotes from Dini's talk on Mental Health.

“When we talk about mental health and wellbeing, we often talk about the big things — getting help when we need it, looking after ourselves, and checking in on the people around us.

But I think wellbeing can also be found in some really simple things: moving your body, being around good people, and feeling like you belong somewhere.

Then there’s volunteering. Surf life saving is built around people giving their time for others. Whether that’s patrolling the beach, helping with training, running events, supporting younger members or doing one of the countless jobs behind the scenes, volunteering gives us a sense of purpose.

Sometimes doing something for somebody else can be just as important for our own wellbeing. It reminds us that we have something to contribute and that we’re part of something bigger than ourselves”.

Thank you Leah, Dini and Peter Taylor for all your education and support through WBSLSC. 🩵💙

Yesterday was an absolute cracker of a day for West Beach SLSC at the surflifesavingaustralia Pool Lifesaving Nationals.

West Beach SLSC kicked things off with the 100m and 200m Obstacle events, where our athletes from U12s through to Masters delivered outstanding performances, bringing home multiple medals across the board. Our Obstacle Relay teams also stepped up, earning valuable club points and adding more medals to our tally.

Then came the penultimate event of the day – Line Throw. We had an incredible 26 teams successfully complete the event, with 10 of those teams finishing on the podium. In a moment that will go down in West Beach history, we filled an entire Line Throw heat with West Beach athletes. With all 8 lanes occupied by West Beach competitors, requiring 16 athletes from a single club, it was an incredible display of the depth, strength and growth of our Double Blue program.

To round out the day, Alinta, Oscar, Leila, Toby, Amelia (who has joined us from Semaphore for Nationals) and Assistant Coach Sarah proudly represented South Australia in the Interstate Competition. We are incredibly proud to see our athletes and coaches competing on the national stage.

🏅 Day 1 Medal Tally

🥇 11 Gold
🥈 13 Silver
🥉 7 Bronze

A fantastic start to Nationals for the Double Blues. Let’s keep the momentum rolling into Day 2 and continue supporting one another every step of the way. 💙🩵
