Our history
In 1911 the weekend volunteer lifesavers brigade and local residents made an application to Warringah Shire Council to form a surf life saving club on North Narrabeen beach. This original document was signed by Stan Exton, who wrote that a club had been in existence for some time, and that about fifty ‘young chaps’ who were regular weekenders met on the beach and directed swimmers where to swim safely and also to ‘watch over them’.
They referred to themselves as a ‘life saving brigade’ who also provided minor first aid, including applying Reckitt’s Blue Bags to victims stung by bluebottles. These bags were normally used when washing clothing and contained a substance that bleached them brilliant white. Stan Exton also advised that the driving force and main organiser of the existing brigade and proposed surf club was Bill White, whose commitment and dedication to the club in its early years was greatly appreciated by the pioneer members who became one of the North Narrabeen Surf Club’s Life Members.
