- Have fun and try new things – enjoy a range of engaging activities and experiences.
- Make friends and feel connected – meet other teenagers and be part of a welcoming community.
- Build confidence and new skills – challenge yourself, discover your strengths and grow.
- Explore leadership opportunities – develop teamwork, leadership and life skills.

Helping shape the future of lifesaving
Sandringham Life Saving Club is proud to have been selected by Life Saving Victoria to participate in the Youth Salties Trial Program for the 2026/27 season.
The program is designed to create more flexible, engaging and meaningful opportunities for young people aged 13–17, particularly as they transition beyond Nippers.
And the best part? Young people will have an opportunity to help shape the program, sharing their ideas about the activities and experiences they’d love to be part of.
Our participation will also help Life Saving Victoria develop the future of youth engagement across lifesaving clubs.
Who can join?
Youth Salties is for young people aged 13–17 years.
You don’t need to have completed Nippers, hold a lifesaving qualification or be involved in patrols to take part.
Whether you’re looking to continue your lifesaving journey or simply want to meet new people and try something different, we’d love to welcome you!
