Sunday Freeplay is a great way to stay active, social, and confident in the water outside of formal training. We look forward to seeing members make the most of this opportunity each week.
Sunday Freeplay (formerly known as Sunday Funday) is a weekly, supervised free‑play session designed to give club members the opportunity to practise and refine their surf lifesaving sport skills in a relaxed environment. Sunday Freeplay provides a safe and structured way to stay active in the water during the cooler months, build confidence, and make use of club equipment outside of formal training sessions.
Sunday Freeplay is intended for skill development through unstructured practice. It allows experienced members to:
- Maintain and improve water skills
- Practise with surf craft and equipment
- Build confidence in changing conditions
- Stay connected with the club over the off‑patrol season
These sessions are not instructional and are not designed for learning new skills from scratch.
Sunday Freeplay is open to current club members who are actively involved in our sport programmes, including:
- Oceans Development
- Oceans
- Senior athletes
- Masters
Participants are expected to already have experience and confidence using the craft or equipment they choose to use during the session.
- Day: Sunday
- Time: 2:00pm – 3:00pm
- Check‑in: All participants must arrive by 2:00pm for a mandatory safety briefing
- Finish: The session concludes at 3:00pm but participants are welcome to leave early - please just make sure you let the coach know before you leave.
Free of charge for existing, financial club members
The club gear bays will be open for Sunday Freeplay, allowing members to access club equipment during the session.Please note:
- Members must already be familiar with the equipment they choose
- Equipment use is for practice and refinement, not instruction
Supervision is provided for the session, however:
- Non‑lifeguard members require supervision
- Parents are encouraged to attend if their child is participating
- Parents are responsible for their child’s safety while present
As water temperatures cool, having a parent in attendance helps ensure participants are supported if they choose to leave early or require additional care.Wetsuits are strongly recommended for all participants.
To help maintain a safe environment, additional lifeguards are required:
- Members holding a current Lifeguard Award are encouraged to assist
- If your child is attending and you are lifeguard qualified, please bring your gear
