Junior as well as Senior members are encouraged to build their skills and techniques in surf lifesaving. In order to accomplish good rescues, club members need to learn the essential skills necessary to save lives. Competitions also enable club members to polish their newly learned skills in a high pressure situation. The Club has gained many State and National titles in both the lifesaving and competition arenas since its beginning in 1949, and whilst the club has boasted some high profile athletes in its time, it is known best for its team achievements.

The surf club has a solid background of training and coaching at all levels in all arenas, from beach, boat, swim, board, ski and IRB to First Aid and Patrol competitions. The club has a broadly successful competition record spanning its entire competitive history, the most prominent achievements of which being reflected on the Honour Boards at the club.

As well as high quality competition and a focus on camaraderie and enjoyment, North Burleigh SLSC is committed to the vital community service aspect that makes surf life saving as a movement so unique. At North Burleigh, we teach our members life saving skills and techniques which can be of benefit to the community and work environment as well as the beach.
