Manly LSC Manly Life Saving Club aims to ensure Manly Beach is a safe place to swim; to prevent the loss of life and to develop and educate our youth.

Manly Lifesaving goals are:

- To study, practice, demonstrate and promote methods of life saving.

- To patrol surf bathing areas solely, or in conjunction with other Surf Life Saving Clubs and/or Local Government Lifeguards.

- To minimize the loss of life from drowning by providing and maintaining efficient life saving equipment.

- To educate members and the community in beach, aquatic safety, the environment and promote skills and knowledge in beach and surf recreation.

- To provide facilities for enjoyable education and development of our youth, with additional emphasis on the Junior Activities section of the Club as a key part of our community service.

- To provide a safe and caring environment for all members and visitors and a place where they can meet in good fellowship.

- To provide access for disadvantaged and disabled groups to the services, facilities and educational programs of our Club.

- To promote competition to enhance the goals of the Club and in order to foster sportsmanship and values which will in turn promote harmony within the Club and its relationship with the community.

- To encourage our members to obtain training, education and coaching qualifications/accreditation to enable them to provide training programs needed to help other Club members and members of the community.

- To subscribe to or otherwise aid benevolent, cooperative, charitable, national or other institutions or objects which in the opinion of the Club Committee have moral or other claims to support or aid from the Club.

- To encourage public, corporate and government sponsorship and support of our Club and surf life saving in general and to recognize that support whenever and wherever possible.

- To use all available resources to raise funds for the ongoing operation and future development of the Club and its community service.

Fresh faces on the sand! 🏖️

A couple of weeks ago we welcomed our newest Bronze Medallion cohort, and last weekend a brand new IRB crew joined the ranks 🚤💨

Big thanks to our neighbours at Freshie and North Steyne for joining us for the IRB assessment. Great fun having you on our beach (sorry, not sorry about the banter 😉)

Welcome to the club, legends! 🩵🩵🩵

🌊 Nipper Camp 2026: Sawtell Edition 🌊

Sand in every bag? ✅
Snacks gone by day one? ✅
Leaders running on pure coffee? ✅

Last week our Nippers took over the beautiful Sawtell SLSC for our iconic annual camp, a Manly LSC ritual that just keeps getting bigger (and louder) every year! 🏄‍♀️

Huge thanks to Sawtell SLSC for hosting us, lending gear and giving so much of your time. You’re the best hosts in the business! 💛❤️

And to Brookvale Mazda, our trusty Ute made getting around a breeze and a whole lot of fun. 🚙💨

Countdown to next year is ON ⏳🩵🩵🩵

Vale Bruce Baird AM

We are saddened by the passing of Bruce Baird AM, who died suddenly on Friday 2 October, aged 84.

A true Manly local, Bruce was a member of our club since 2009 and was always down at the club, never short of a friendly word or a good yarn on the ramp. He was a great supporter of Manly LSC and our volunteers, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Our thoughts are with Bruce’s family and friends 🩵

Who needs a quiet start to the season?

Not us. Proficiencies, IRB courses, Bronze assessments and the start of a new patrol season all landed in one massive weekend, and our members absolutely nailed it.

Flags up, patrols on, let’s go Team Manly 🩵🩵🩵

Wanted: people who like the ocean, snacks, and being the person everyone’s glad is there.

Reasons to do your Bronze:

1. Saving lives, obviously
2. Finally understanding what everyone in red and yellow is shouting about
3. Sunrise swims that make everyone else’s morning routine look tragic
4. Joining a club that’s been doing this since 1911 and still can’t agree on the best coffee spot in Manly

Experience: none required. Vibes: mandatory.

We want you!

Your body after a patrol shift: 🥴
Your body after Rigs: 🙌🏻✨👏🏼🧊

Ice baths, saunas, steam room, hyperbaric oxygen and compression therapy - Rigs Brookvale does recovery properly. All Manly members get discount pricing on every service. Just mention Manly at reception.

Authentic Community Leadership in Action

Reflecting on the 2026 Ice Cold Classic last Sunday, a massive thank you to every Manly Life Saving Club member and community volunteer who helped make it happen.

Growing from 600 swimmers to more than 1,600 in just our second year was incredible. Even better, together we helped raise almost $40,000 for One Meal and the incredible work they do supporting vulnerable people in our community.

Together with $65,000 raised at the inaugural Ice Cold Classic and $45,000 raised at the 2026 Cole Classic in February, that's $150,000 raised alone for One Meal - Northern Beaches in the past 12 months —something every volunteer, swimmer, sponsor and supporter has helped make possible.

We were very grateful to have Nagi and little Jaffle from RecipeTin Eats with us—ringing the starter's bell, signing books, presenting our place getters, serving soup and bringing so much warmth and energy to the day - so much energy and enthusiasm!

Nagi's extraordinary support of One Meal, providing more than 600 meals daily through RecipeTin Meals, has been instrumental in the organisation's growth. It's a powerful demonstration that when people, businesses and communities choose to to be amazing together, they really can make a difference.

That's what the Ice Cold Classic is all about: Manly Life Saving Club, the ocean swimming community, volunteers, sponsors and supporters coming together to create something much bigger than just a swim.

Together, we are authentic community leadership in action - working as one for the greater good.

Thank you 🙏
