HENLEY SURF
LIFE SAVING CLUB JUNIORS
Henley SLSC was the
first Life Saving Club in South
Australia.
The Juniors
are the younger side of Lifesaving. It can be a rewarding
experience for the whole family. Children and adults
alike have the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge,
make new friends and gain personal satisfaction from
participating in a world-wide recognised volunteer
organisation.
Many of this
year’s Age Group Leaders were Juniors at the Henley
SLSC.
 WHY JOIN
JUNIORS?
-
To enjoy a fit and healthy
lifestyle.
-
To learn important skills,
resuscitation and beach
safety.
-
To have fun with other
children.
-
To benefit from and be
involved in surf competitions, teamwork and
sportspersonship.
The
involvement of children in Surf Lifesaving is geared
towards learning surf safety and having fun. Our goal is
to ensure that by the time our juniors are ready to
graduate to Under 15s they have their Surf Rescue
Certificate and are active patrolling Surf Life
Savers.
We believe the
discipline required to be an active Surf Life Saver will
help in the moulding of your child’s
character.
Did you know
that 86% of the elite Surf Life Saving Iron Persons have
come from the Juniors, and that 83% of children join
Juniors because of the involvement of family and/or
friends or that they simply live close by? Children like
to make friends, catch waves and have
fun.

in, look at the Age Groups

NOT
SURE ABOUT
JOINING?
If you are not
sure if your child is keen to do this sport they can come
and try a couple of sessions before you need to register
them as a club member. To do this simply obtain a WAIVER
form on the day, fill it in then sign in your child with
the appropriate age groups.
