What We Do
Woodside Nippers: Introduce your kids to the beach in the safest possible way.
Nippers builds water confidence, ocean awareness and lifelong friendships – for ages 5 to 13.
Youth: For older teens ready to take their skills further.
Youth members train, compete, earn qualifications and start the journey to becoming a qualified surf lifesaver.
Become a Surf Lifesaver: Join our patrol teams and give something back to the community you love.
No experience needed – just a willingness to learn and a commitment to keeping our beach safe.

Congratulations Glenn Ridley – Sorrento’s 33rd Life Member
Sorrento Surf Life Saving Club is proud to congratulate Glenn Ridley, who was awarded Life Membership at last night’s AGM.
Presented by Russell Wright, Life Member No. 4, Glenn now becomes Sorrento’s 33rd Life Member.
Glenn joined Sorrento in the 1994/95 season and has contributed more than 32 years of service across lifesaving, patrols, coaching, junior development, competition and leadership.
Since earning his Bronze Medallion in 1997, Glenn has built an outstanding record of service and achievement. He has been a Senior Club Champion, a professional lifeguard with SLSWA, WA Lifeguard of the Year, Australian Lifeguard of the Year, Director of Club Development, Patrol Captain, coach, Age Manager, Senior Age Manager and long-standing competitor across juniors, seniors and masters.
Most recently, Glenn was part of Sorrento’s Masters group that helped bring home the Masters Flag, and was also named 2026 Age Manager of the Year.
Above all, Glenn’s contribution has been defined by consistency, humility and service. For more than three decades, he has kept turning up — patrolling, coaching, mentoring, leading and helping shape the culture of our club.
Sorrento is a better club because of Glenn Ridley.
Congratulations Glenn, and thank you for your extraordinary contribution.
