About the Club
Coogee Surf Life Saving Club is a volunteer organisation, and was founded in May 1907. Originally called The Foundation of the Coogee Surf Life Saving Brigade, the club was formed to assist with people getting into difficulty and even drowning at Coogee Beach. The first squad went into serious training to ensure qualified lifesavers would be available on the beach in the spring of 1907.

To this day, our surf lifesavers commit to serving the community and keeping the public safe.

Our Patrolling season starts in September, and goes through to April. We patrol every weekend, and all public holidays.

Coogee is also home to the Coogee Island Challenge every November and April, and the Coogee Minnows, our very own Nippers program.

The Coogee SLSC Clubhouse is located at the south end of the beach and offers a real sense of community spirit. Joining the Club offers a great way to meet new people, support the community, keep fit and have fun.
 
Coogee Beach is a beautiful spot, and it’s sometimes hard to believe we are only 15 minutes from the hustle and bustle of central Sydney.

There are many activities to enjoy in our little slice of paradise. Spot a whale or two during migration season, see a pod of dolphins swim by, or take a stroll on the coastal walk and enjoy an array of popular cafes, restaurants and pubs.

Annual Reports

Strategic Plan 2019-2024​
With a Club focussed on looking to the future, with a strong and sustainable approach we now have our new strategic direction, through the establishment of a new Purpose Statement and recognition of our Club Values. - Strategic Plan

As the lifesaving environment continues to change, and with our membership at well over 2,000, the focus of this document is very much centered around our members.

It touches on respect and integrity, diversity, transparency, retention and community engagement – all of which ensures our Club’s well-being and progressive nature.

Building Upgrade Video
Our iconic Coogee Surf Life Saving Club is now open for business, after our major renovations in 2020.

The upgrade has delivered an entire new functions space, with an amazing balcony along the side of the club house, giving perfect views of the blue pacific and Coogee beach. 
The project was funded by a $2.58M grant from the Office of Local Government Stronger Communities Fund, a $300,000 grant from the NSW Department of Industry Office of Responsible Gambling and a $720,000 Grant                                    from Randwick Council.
Randwick City Council also provided the Project Mgt Team for the duration of the build.
The design was provided by AJ&C Architects and construction was delivered by XENIA Constructions. 

Both these teams did an excellent job, and the result is an outstanding multi functional space that will serve the    members and the community for many years to come.
