The 1st July marked the 40th anniversary of women being involved in active life saving duties.
This week 40 years ago women were finally able to gain their bronze medallion and take an active part in patrols. Female competition events followed soon after.
Women now take up 52% of the active membership across our 15 clubs on the Central Coast and hold over 30% of the leadership positions within our clubs.
