Senior members do not have to compete at Carnivals. Many surf life savers engage in regular competition to maintain their skills and fitness. These carnival competitions are held at club, regional, state, national and international levels. Competition is both fun and fierce, and conducted in the highest standard of sportsmanship, as is befitting of surf life savers regarded by many as pillars of the Australian community. All competitors and their clubs agree to compete according to the Surf Sports Code of Conduct as set out in the SLSA Surf Sports Manual. These rules apply to all members who wish to compete at Local, State, Aussie or any other carnivals. Most apply to every member, regardless of their competition status.
