Welcome to Perranporth Surf Lifesaving Club! As a surf lifesaving club we are here to save lives and improve the safety of Perranporth Beach through prevention, rescue, training and teaching of surf lifesaving skills. This lies at the very core of everything we do and is also captured by our Club motto ‘Vigilance and Service’.

Our vision: We are a vibrant voluntary organisation with engaged members, dedicated to save lives and improving (water) safety by the development of surf lifesaving knowledge, technical skills and experience. We provide a safe and enjoyable club environment where everyone is valued. We promote a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle for the benefit of all. At the same time, we give back to the wider Perranporth community, and we’re also at the forefront of working towards a greener future.

How this translates to everyday life means different things to different people: With our lifesaving ethos at its core, our Club is a community; a place where we develop ourselves and our skills in the service of others. It’s a place where our youngest members (the Nippers) get introduced to the ocean and where we teach them how they can be safe and help others.

We see them compete for the first time and build confidence and social skills. We watch them as they grow into Youths, going on their first patrols and learning crucial first aid skills.

We are amazed by their physical strength and mental resilience as they develop into young adults.

As they get older, they take all these competencies, awards, qualifications and life skills to their schools, colleges, unis and work environments.

We might see a little bit less of them for a while but, before we know it, they’ll be back training side by side with our Seniors. A lifelong bond is made.

In the meantime, we all come together at the Club for a wide variety of reasons. It might be for board paddling, ladies’ night, swimming, socialising, lifeguard training, competitions – or just for some food and a laugh.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if you’re new to it all, if you’re young or old, if you’re a parent or not, if you just want to train or are an elite athlete: we have a place for you.

Welcome!
