The primary role of Floreat SLSC is the protection of beach users and to save lives. The lifesaving duties are carried out by volunteers, from October to March. Patrols are rostered for Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays during the summer season, with each lifesaver patrolling approx. once per month.

Patrolling is a great way to give back to your community. When on patrol you will be required to observe swimmers, attend to first aid cases and perform rescues.

The City of Perth Surf Life Saving Club is located at City Beach in Perth, Western Australia. The club was formed in 1925 by members of the City of Perth Amateur Swimming Club, to provide a volunteer water safety and surf rescue service. It has now grown to become one of Australia’s largest and most successful surf lifesaving clubs.

The club patrols a 2 km stretch of beach, between Swanbourne rifle range and Floreat groyne, from 1 October to 31 March. With lifesaving still as a primary goal, the club is quickly becoming a social hub for members of the community.
