The Henley Surf Lifesaving Club was founded following a meeting in the Henley Town Hall on the 1st of October 1925 when a motion was put by Mr. Dan Dineen that the club is called “The Henley Lifesaving  Club” and from a small clubroom within a disused old concrete boat shed just North of the Henley jetty, the Club officially opened on the 21st of November 1925.  This was to become the first lifesaving club in South Australia.
