Canteen this Saturday, 15th January 2022
/0 Comments/in Canteen, Juniors, News, Training, Youth Development Group/by Steph BredenWith the absence of our illustrious Canteen Manager Gregg the Club President (Paul) will be manning the kitchen before training this week with a modified light snack menu.
Open from 10:30 am for Toasted Sandwiches, Cold Rolls, and a Presidential specialty Flat Dogs (thats a hot dog made in a sandwich press). If you’ve ever been to Pt Adelaide Baseball Club you’ll know what I mean.
After training there will be a gold coin donation sausage sizzle, and Nippers will also get a Zooper Dooper.
Gregg will be back with his famous club breakfast menu next Saturday (22nd Jan)
Largs Bay Swim Centre – New Club Sponsor
/0 Comments/in fundraising, Juniors, Masters, Patrol, Sponsors, Training, Youth Development Group/by Steph BredenWe welcome Largs Bay Swim Center as a Bronze Sponsor of Semaphore SLSC. Many of our Club’s members have enjoyed a long relationship with the Center and this has lead to this great business coming on board as official Club Sponsors.
Many of our Nippers currently enjoy the learn to swim classes with some already graduated to the squad programs and as such have joined the majority of our Youth and Senior competitors.
In fact we would urge any Nipper wanting to be successful in surf competition, if not currently undertaking learn to swim or squad sessions, to do so. It is one of the most important skills in Surf Life Saving. Just because you can stay afloat in a pool doesn’t mean you can complete a 150m open water proficiency swim.
We even have a Club swim nights as part of the centre’s Aussies Squad on Wednesday nights from 7pm, or once graduated from the learn to swim program we have a squad for our Nippers simply to assist in building endurance for surf swimming.
Contact the Centre on 8341 6062 to ask about the right session for you or your children.
Youth Development Group news – Training and Junior Mentor Day

/0 Comments/in Education, Juniors, Membership, News, Training, Youth Development Group/by Steph BredenSRC & Bronze Medallion Training Last Weekend
Last weekend (5th to 7th of October) approximately 30 of our young members, undertook their SRC & Bronze Top-Up training. In what must surely be record numbers in one intake, the students & trainers committed to 3 days of long and intensive training both in & out of the water. Whilst the weather was pleasant outside of the water, feedback was that each of the students now understand what it is like to be a Polar Bear!!
As a club, Semaphore is extremely proud that such a large percentage of our junior/youth members are transitioning from competition to patrolling members. Given we primarily exist as a Community Volunteer Service Organisation, such large numbers augurs well for the coming years.
Many thanks to Heather Eckert as the principal trainer for the three days. Heather was ably and gratefully assisted by several volunteers handling water cover and other tasks. Thanks also to Jennie Charlton and her team for helping co-ordinate such a monumental achievement. The feedback from all the students was extremely positive both on the training itself as well as our new Training Facilities.
Well done everyone!
Save the date – Youth Group meeting this Sunday!
