Sandringham Life Saving Club celebrated our centenary in 2017.
The first committee meeting of Sandringham Life Saving Club was held on the 18th of January 1917 in the Supper Room of the Sandringham Hall. More than 100 years later, the club is still providing a volunteer service that is aimed at keeping members of the Sandringham community safe in the aquatic environment.
