Coogee Surf Life Saving Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Coogee Surf Life Saving Club is a foundation member of the surf lifesaving movement in Australia. It was founded in 1907 by a group of concerned locals and has a proud history of no lives being lost whilst its members have patrolled. Coogee SLSC celebrates its 100 year anniversary in 2007, the Year of the Lifesaver.

Coogee SLSC has a glorious history, which includes many firsts in the lifesaving movement. These include the first night surf carnival, the first mass rescue, the first shark attack and the development of the resuscitation technique. The Coogee SLSC clubhouse sits at the southern end of Coogee beach. To this day, the club's activities are managed and run by volunteers, with the assistance of a variety of community concerned sponsors.
