The Omanu Beach SLSC provide patrols to keep swimmers on the beach at Omanu safe.

It now has one of the largest Junior Surf programmes in New Zealand with approximately 400 nippers. This programme is both the strength and the future of the club. 

Omanu Beach SLSC has always been a family orientated club who prides itself in providing a caring and nurturing environment for youths to develop. We have many third generation members who are now bringing their families up in this same environment as they enjoyed.

Although not the core business of the club, competition (Surf Sport) is now a major part of our operations. Without competition, it would be difficult to retain our younger members and patrol the beach. Our club performs consistently well in competitions and we have regular training sessions to keep our members fit and competition ready.

Jonathan York has been helping with the "Nippers" program since his children joined the program in the early 200o s
