Patrols
Become part of the proud and professional team of surf lifesavers helping keep Apollo Bay's beaches safe
Patrolling Members
We’re always excited to welcome new members to our Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving team. If you’re joining us on patrol this season—thank you! Your contribution keeps our community safe and our beach protected.
Please take a moment to read through the Patrol Member Expectations document. Make sure you know your patrol start and finish times, and if something comes up and you can’t attend a rostered patrol, please let your Patrol Captain know as soon as possible.
If you miss a patrol without notifying your Patrol Captain beforehand, your active member access to the club will be paused until you attend your next patrol.
If you have any questions or need support, please contact Calden Lyons at 0477 895 692 or operations@apollobayslsc.com—we’re here to help.

Patrolling Members
If you’re part of our patrolling team—thank you! Your time, energy, and commitment keep our beach safe, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything you do. We also always welcome new members who’d like to join the Surf Life Saving team.
Below is the 2025–2026 Patrol Roster, including your Patrol Captain for each team. Please check your dates and times carefully and contact your Patrol Captain if you cannot attend a rostered patrol.
If you’re able to give a little extra time beyond your scheduled hours—whether it’s jumping in on a busy day or supporting another patrol—it’s always appreciated and helps keep our beach running smoothly. Every bit of help makes a difference.
