The South Port Surf Lifesaving Club (SLSC) was established in 1959 in the coastal Adelaide suburb of Port Noarlunga, South Australia, and it is currently situated in the sand dunes at the mouth of the Onkaparinga River Estuary.
Due to its location at the mouth of a major South Australian river and its position in Gulf St Vincent, South Port is a renowned surfing beach for both board riders and body surfers.
In its first two seasons, and with a small membership, it was difficult to maintain patrols and to set up a new club and clubhouse.
Upon completion, members are awarded the Nationally Accredited Certificate 2 in Public Safety (Aquatic Rescue) Bronze Medallion and become qualified to patrol a beach.
Nippers are aged between 5–13 years and learn beach safety and awareness skills in a fun and healthy environment.
