The Executive Committee for the Lifesaving Patrol Competition
Shirarahama Beach, Nanki-shirahama, Wakayama
On Sunday 9 September 2018, selected members from the First and Second place teams of the Australian National Championships will be joining Japanese lifesavers at the Ocean Surf Challenge in Shirahama 2018 at Shirarahama Beach, Nanki-shirahama in Wakayama prefecture. At this event, the Australian team will conduct a demonstration of “Patrol Competition” a hallmark of Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) format.
The Patrol Competition has been taking place in Australia annually for more than 30 years to not only improve and strengthen life-saving personnel physically, but to reinforce rescue techniques and know-how; all necessary skill sets for surf patrol to provide safer beaches. The Australian team’s demonstration will be based on frequently occurring water accidents in Japan, and displaying the necessary team dynamics through the rescue simulation.
In addition to the demonstration, the team will meet with Japanese lifesavers and professionals who work near the ocean to contribute to local beach safety and to improve rescue skills in the case of water accidents in Japan. This activity aims to promote the common global principles of lifesaving, which is to prevent accidents before they occur.

Surf lifesaving organisations worldwide play an important role in keeping beaches safe, preventing drownings and rescuing people. From 1983 to 1988, Australian Surf Lifesaving – the undisputed world leader in this voluntary service – played a crucial role in successfully introducing surf lifesaving to Japan with support from the Australia-Japan Foundation.
Thirty-five years on, this project will seek to establish a “Lifesaving Patrol Competition” in Japan based on the Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) format. By establishing regular surf lifesaving competitions in Japan, we can better serve the communities of both countries by providing safer beaches. In surf lifesaving competitions, teams of six lifesavers compete using their knowledge and skills in four important categories for surf lifesaving: physical skills, theory, resuscitation and scenarios. Surf lifesaving competitions target knowledge and technique for beach management competence, maintaining vigilance, and emergency measures, which are all much needed in Japan.
This program promotes mutual understanding and friendship between Australian and Japanese lifesavers who share a common interest in saving lives.
