Surf Life Saving SA has announced that it is bringing forward the end of the volunteer beach patrol season by two weeks.
With volunteer beach patrols originally due to finish on Monday April 13th, the Board of Surf Life Saving SA (SLSSA) says that effective immediately, all patrols by volunteer surf lifesavers on South Australian beaches will be cancelled for the remainder of the season. This unique decision was made to protect the safety and welfare of volunteer surf lifesavers from potential infection by the COVID-19 virus and to discourage gatherings of more than two people on popular beaches.
