How to Join

Hampton Life Saving Club is a great organisation to join, whether you want to help make Victoria's beaches safer, keep fit, compete or just come down and spend time with some great company.

We currently have about 900 members, but only 100 of that are active life savers, and we do appreciate a hand every now and then from everyone, especially on big days including Nipper events or other major Club fundraisers.

It's a great social scene at Hampton and everyone's friendly, so why not come down and join?
