Typical patrols at St Kilda


Patrols commence at 12PM every weekend and public holiday between November and Mid-April every year. However, please note, St Kilda Life Saving Club does not patrol on Christmas day. Our job as lifesavers are to lookout for the swimmers in the water, especially between the Red & Yellow Flags. Lifesavers put down the Red & Yellow Flags to indicate it is the safest spot to swim in throughout the beach.
St Kilda is known to attract many tourists and locals to flock the beach every year. As one of Melbourne's Metropolitan busiest beach throughout summer, the need for lifesavers and supervision is high.
