JOINING & RENEWALS

Torquay SLSC. Come & be Part of Something Special!

The Torquay Surf Life Saving Club is located right on the shores of one the most popular and iconic beaches in Australia.

First established in 1945, our club is one of the oldest clubs in Victoria, and has a rich history of World, National and State Life Saving Champions not to mention Olympic athletes!

More than that though. We’re a Surf Club that was founded by a group of friends and remains a Surf Club that feels like a group of friends.

We pride ourselves on having a club where everyone feels welcome. Torquay SLSC existed before there was a Life Saving Association and custodians of one of the most famous beaches in the world, we pride ourselves on having a culture that is everything you imagine a surf club to be. Only better. 

Maybe you’ve been part of Torquay since before there was a Bunnings, maybe you’re new to the area, maybe you just come for the summer – come and join the Torquay Surf Life Saving Club and be part of the melting pot that is the heart of Torquay!

Our Nipper program is one of the biggest in the state, and has been operating for over 50 years. Our Nippers love belonging to the club that sits right on the beach they visit with their family, they learn to navigate waves and work towards becoming patrollers on their own local beach.  Friendships forged at Nippers are friends for life.

What better gift can you give your kids than hours of fun this summer, confidence in the water, an appreciation for the ocean and life-long friendships?

Our club genuinely has something for everyone, of all ages, with opportunities to meet friends for life and give back to your community through social and fundraising events.

What better place to be than right on your favourite beach every weekend!

Thank you for wanting to join our club, we can’t wait to have you on board, at the club and in the water.
