Welcome to Silver Salties!

Salties is a Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) participation program for older Australians (65+years) delivered by participating Surf Life Saving Clubs (SLS) Clubs and promoting physical activity, social connections, and involvement in the SLS community. It is managed by SLSA, promoted by States and Branches, and delivered by participating SLS Clubs.

Silver Salties Programs are based on traditional SLS activities and popular recreational pursuits.

The pilot pilot from January 2020 to June 2022 was supported by the Australian Government and managed by Sport Australia. 2000+ older Australians participated in one or more programs during the pilot program; and 48 SLS Clubs (15 % of Australian SLS Clubs) and one Volunteer Marine Rescue organisation registered to deliver Silver Salties.
