For my Barmitzvah I'm raising money for the Elwood Lifesaving Club.

I have been involved in the Club since 2014, when I started in the Nippers program. This summer I completed nippers and was given the opportunity to train up to 3 times a week.

Later this year I am aiming to have my Surf Rescue Certificate and start helping to patrol the beach. As soon as I am old enough I want to train for my Bronze Medallion. 

The club is run by numerous volunteers who all donate their time to ensure I can train and the beach is safe. I would like to raise money for more boards, equipment, training programs and other essential lifesaving tools.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Elwood Lifesaving Club is the oldest lifesaving club on Port Phillip Bay, Elwood LSC has a rich history of service to the community. The club was established in 1912, quickly becoming an integral part of Elwood’s social fabric and remains so today.

Volunteer lifesavers watch over more than 50,000 beachgoers each season, typically patrolling Elwood foreshore on weekends and public holidays from late November to April.

Qualified volunteers also perform water safety duties at numerous events including the 2XU Triathlon Series, Australian Corporate Triathlon and Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon.

Elwood’s Nippers program teaches children aged 5-13 vital water safety and surf skills, with sessions usually held from November to February each Sunday.

The club’s mission is to provide a safe, positive environment for all members where they can develop the knowledge and skills needed to enable them to fulfil their potential and gain enjoyment while supporting the club in providing lifesaving services to users of Elwood beach and the Elwood community.
