CLIFTON SURF LIFESAVING CLUB (CSLC)

Clifton Surf is a non-profit volunteer based organisation that oversees the public safety on Clifton 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th beach. We have over 350 members made up of Nippers, Juniors, Seniors and Masters. Our 4 Volunteer Duty squads Arcadia, Barker, Cherry and Duiker proudly patrol Clifton 1st to Clifton 4th beach from 12h00 till 18h00 on Saturdays and 10h00 till 18h00 on Sundays in season and all public holidays between 1st November and Easter Weekend.In addition to this community service, our lifeguards and members are involved in competitions, fitness training, social development programmes and beach safety awareness initiatives.
We also have a very strong nipper movement that trains 8-14 year olds in lifesaving skills and living a healthy lifestyle.
