This article is very complete for a stub! I think the stub tag could probably go by now. - Just zis Guy, you know? 22:02, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Australian COTW nomination
Having recently created flags (sport) made me realise just how small an amount of info there is about Surf lifesaving. It is one of Australia's most important and unique cultural things and should be made into a feature article. Their contribution to Australia is well known here but it deserves an international audience.
So, can I humbly suggest that Surf Lifesaving be made a collaboration of the week? A list of Surf lifesaving clubs wouldn't go astray either. Witty lama
Would be good also to have some discussion of whether and if so why this is an Aus/NZ only phenomenonFat Red 13:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article Renaming
Move - this article should be retitled "Surf Life Saving Australia". 1: it is the official name of the organisation. 2: It will save confusion between SLSA and Surf life saving NZ.
[edit] General lifesaving article
There is an article about lifesaving in a more general context at lifesaving. It would be nice for it to have a more global scope - I wondered anyone might fancy adding a paragraph similar to that about lifesaving in the UK for countries such as Australia? – drw25 (talk) 15:05, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lifesaving redirect
I'm not entirely happy with the redirect of lifesaving to here. This article is very Australia-centric, and lifesaving education and activities worldwide are not just restricted to surfing/beach situations. – drw25 (talk) 15:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
