# Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club Australia's first recorded surf lifesaving club (1907)  In [Queen Elizabeth Drive, Bondi Beach NSW 2026(link is external)](https://maps.app.goo.gl/YZssFdLivC9ps1f79) ## About Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club In February 1907, the Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club became Australia’s first recorded surf lifesaving club. The founding members established the club with the central aim of ‘the rescue of the distressed’ in recognition that sea bathing was a danger for those who weren’t used to swimming at Sydney’s beaches. These clubs spread nationwide, solidifying surf lifesavers as an iconic symbol of Australia.  ## Community service Notable at Bondi and throughout Australia is that surf lifesavers are volunteers, dedicating their weekends to patrolling beaches and keeping people safe. ## Inspiring a movement Surf lifesaving clubs developed right across Australia based on the Bondi model, including in Tweed Heads and Coolangatta in Queensland (1909), Western Australia (1909), Victoria (1913), Tasmania (1921) and South Australia (1925). With 314 surf lifesaving clubs in Australia and over 190,000 members, Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club has created an enduring legacy of volunteers keeping locals and visitors safe.
