Get Involved

At Hampton Life Saving Club we have many an activity happening year long, not just patrolling the beaches in Summer. We run a (very popular) Nipper's program (ages 5-13). We encourage our Nippers to participate in inter-club carnivals, should they have a competitive bone or two in their body. We run a Youth program for 13-17 year olds. We run activities for our adult members - including providing a gymnasium and fitness training and for those that like to socialise, there's our weekly Sundowners, Family BBQ's, and other social events which we hold every so often (more often than not!) to bring the general membership closer together and form (for some), lifelong bonds.

Below is a brief summary of our main activities at the Hampton Life Saving Club.

Beach Patrols

Patrolling, Hampton Life Saving Club's main activity, is a fantastic way to spend your weekends. We don't require that you patrol EVERY DAY. At most, patrol members are required to patrol maybe 4-5 times between November, and Easter Monday. As you can imagine, only 6 or 7 days is not a lot to give up over the span of 4-5 months.

Once you start patrolling, you're able to get different awards, which will allow you to do different things, such as operate our Inflatable Rescue Boats (IRB's) or our Radio's. You can also compete at Inter-club Carnivals which are held throughout the season.

Nippers & Training

We all want to make sure our kids are safe at the beach while they're in the water. Our training here at Hampton helps the kids get familiar with the beach environment, and to have fun while doing it.

Ages range from approximately 5 to 13 years old, and training for the kids is run on a Saturday afternoon, consisting of a lot of teamwork skills, as well as interaction and familiarisation of our surrounding  environment. We run activities such as sprints, relays, beach flags, as well as Water Activities including swims and board paddling.

Kids are also encouraged to participate in the inter-club carnivals which are run around the state throughout the season.

Competition

Competing is all a lot of fun, but for some people, it can be serious business - look at the Ironman League! We may not be quite up to Ironman standard, but it's a hell of a tough competition. We compete against clubs from around the state, so you can be sure there's going to be some stiff competition out there.

Carnivals are held around the state, and for the most part, run for the entire day. Nipper carnivals are for ages 5-13, and Full (or Senior) carnivals are for ages 13 and up. For our patrolling members there are also Club Competitions involving Life Saving Skills, an Iron event and IRB Comeptitions.

Social Events

After all that time spent on training, patrolling and competing down at Hampton, who has time for a social gathering? WE DO!!! Our social events are a great way to unwind and relax after a long hard day's work, or if you just feel like coming down for the social event, well that's great too! We have events for every age group, such as the Family BBQ's, Sundowners, and Youth Gatherings.

Dates for events are located on our calendar. Make sure you've cleared your diary so that you can come down and support YOUR Life Saving Club!!
