Goolwa Surf Life Saving Club

Directions Website

Goolwa Surf Life Saving Club Goolwa SLSC is one of SA’s leading surf lifesaving clubs. We strive to keep our community safe. From there you can gain more qualifications.

The Goolwa Surf Lifesaving Club provides life saving services, education programs and training at Goolwa Beach. We aim to be a leading surf life saving club adding value to the community, dedicated to developing its services and our members. Patrols are provided on weekends and public holidays - mid October to the end of March. Conditions can be tricky, so please swim in-between the red and yellow flags when they are flying. All you need to patrol is a First Aid Certificate and be a minimum of 13 years old. You don't even need to get wet to save a life. Our members behind the scenes that help out behind the bar, cook BBQ's, fundraise or do the administration tasks, are just as vital as our front line services. We provide the opportunities for training, to gain experience and develop new skills. For more information or to find out how to get involved please contact: [email protected]

Have a young one that loves the beach? Our nipper program (est. 2015) start at 5 years and our youth at 13 years - no experience required. Please contact: [email protected] for more information. Pelican Bistro: For info, opening hours and to make bookings please contact Phillip - 0400 277 771 or Cassie - 0407 965 957 or follow the FB page

🌊☀️ A NEW SEASON, A FRESH LOOK & EXCITING THINGS AHEAD! 🏖️💙

Before we dive into another exciting summer, we want to take a moment to say a massive THANK YOU to Leah! 💙

Leah has dedicated so many years of time, energy and passion to our Nippers and Youth programs. Her commitment to our young lifesavers and the families involved has been incredible, and she will be very much missed! Thank you, Leah, for everything you’ve done for our club and the next generation of lifesavers! 🌊👏

NOW… WHO’S READY FOR SUMMER?! ☀️🏄‍♂️

We’re so excited to introduce THIS SEASON’S NIPPERS & YOUTH PROGRAMS! 🎉

Both programs have had a makeover, with fresh ideas, exciting activities and plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, build confidence and have some serious fun on the beach!

💙 MEET BROOKE & CHELSEA – OUR NIPPERS TEAM!

Brooke and Chelsea have been working hard behind the scenes to create our exciting new Nippers program, bringing fresh ideas, fun activities and a whole lot of enthusiasm to the beach!

Brooke has come all the way through our Nippers program and is now an active patrolling member. It’s fantastic to see her giving back and helping shape the next generation of lifesavers!

Chelsea also brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the team! From her involvement in emergency operations and IRB racing to working towards completing her Jet Ski Operator qualification, she’s a fantastic example of the opportunities surf lifesaving has to offer.

Together, Brooke and Chelsea are passionate about creating a fun, welcoming and engaging program where our youngest members can build confidence, learn new skills and develop a lifelong love for the beach! 🌊👏

🏄‍♂️ MEET MIKEY – OUR YOUTH PROGRAM COORDINATOR!

Mikey has been a huge part of our club for many years, contributing across so many areas of surf lifesaving!

From emergency operations and IRB racing to being a fully qualified Jet Ski Operator, Mikey brings an incredible range of skills and experience. He also has many years of surf boat rowing experience and a strong history of working with and mentoring our Youth members.

Mikey has been busy putting together an awesome three-part Youth training program designed to challenge, inspire and develop our next generation of lifesavers!

With a focus on improving water and surf skills, building fitness, developing confidence and encouraging teamwork, our Youth crew are in for an exciting summer! 💪🌊

NOW WE NEED YOU! 🙌

Whether you’re a returning family or thinking about giving surf lifesaving a go for the very first time, we’d LOVE to see you down on the beach!

📣 Please take a few minutes to read through our updated programs, share them around and invite your friends and family!

Know someone looking for something new to try this summer? Bring them along! The more smiling faces on the sand, the better! ☀️

Here’s to an amazing season of sunshine, friendships, new skills and making memories!

SEE YOU ON THE BEACH! 🌊🏖️💙

📣 A New Chapter for Our Club

We would like to sincerely thank Cat and the entire Percy’s team for their commitment and support over the past 10 months.

Percy’s has become a well-known and much-loved part of our community, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything the team has contributed during their time at the club. We’re sad to see them go and wish Cat and the team all the very best for what comes next.

Our venue will temporarily close while we prepare for an exciting new chapter. We’re aiming to reopen in early October, with further details to be confirmed.

Most importantly, thank you to our valued customers and community members who continue to visit, support the club and enjoy one of the best views around. Without your ongoing support, we wouldn’t be able to continue providing such a special space for our community.

We’re excited for what comes next and for a great summer ahead. We can’t wait to share more with you—watch this space! 👀💙

📣 AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY AT GOOLWA SLSC — PERCY’S BAR & KITCHEN IS LOOKING FOR ITS NEXT TEAM

Goolwa Surf Life Saving Club is seeking expressions of interest from an experienced and passionate hospitality operator to take the reins of Percy’s Bar & Kitchen from October 2026.

Sitting right on Goolwa Beach, Percy’s has grown into an established hospitality venue with an incredible coastal location and a strong connection to our club and local community.

And importantly — this doesn’t have to be a start from scratch.

The current operators have generously offered to hand over the Percy’s Bar & Kitchen brand, established social media platforms, menu and the foundations they have built, giving the incoming operator the opportunity to continue what Percy’s has become while putting their own stamp on its next chapter.

We’re looking for the next team to carry Percy’s forward — people with energy, hospitality experience and a passion for great food, great service and creating a venue people want to come back to.

For the right operator, this is an exciting opportunity to step into an established beachside venue and continue building its presence within the Goolwa community.

📅 Available from October 2026

We are now seeking expressions of interest from hospitality operators, chefs or teams who would like to explore the opportunity.

📩 To express your interest or request further information, please contact Goolwa Surf Life Saving Club via phone or email.
