BLACK ROCK LIFE SAVING CLUB
Volunteer Lifesavers Patrolling Black Rock Beach, Bayside Melbourne
Black Rock Life Saving Club is a volunteer-run lifesaving club providing water safety education and a patrolled beach for the Bayside community every summer.
Members can start their lifesaving journey from age 5, progressing through nipper, cadet, senior and master categories as they grow — building beach awareness, first aid and rescue skills in a safe, friendly and inclusive environment. See our membership age categories to find the right group for your family.
We provide a safe, friendly and welcoming environment where all members can interact and enjoy the health and social benefits of belonging to a club that embraces team spirit and inclusion
About Black Rock Life Saving Club
Established as part of Victoria’s emergency services network, Black Rock Life Saving Club has been a fixture of the local community for decades, working alongside Life Saving Victoria and neighbouring clubs to keep our stretch of coastline safe. We’re run entirely by volunteers — youth, parents, grandparents, members and locals who give their time to patrol the beach, train the next generation of lifesavers, and keep the club’s boats, boards and equipment in top condition.
