WELCOME TO THE
St. Kilda Life Saving Club
Established in 1914, the St. Kilda Life Saving Club is one of Victoria’s most populated metropolitan beaches.
What We Do
Every Saturday, Sunday and Public Holiday over summer (from November through until the end of April), St. Kilda foreshore beach is patrolled by highly trained and skilled surf lifesavers, volunteering their time, providing vital first aid treatment and educating beach goers on water safety to ensure the safety of everyone.
During the peak of the summer season, professional lifeguards provide an extension of this service to the public between Monday and Saturday morning.
Below are the statistics from our volunteers for the 2018/2019 life saving season.
