R1.1 million raised. 14 charities supported. Countless lives impacted 🌊💙

This year’s Oceans 8 Charity Swim was the biggest yet. Swimmers for the NSRI raised over R251 000. From first-timers to 16-mile legends, every stroke told a story of courage and community.

This weekend, NSRI station commanders from around the country came together for our annual conference. The theme was risk and reward, sharing real rescues, best practices, new technology, and looking after the well-being of our crews.

To every Station Commander who gave their time and insight: thank you. Your leadership strengthens Sea Rescue and keeps our crews ready to save lives.

As you travel home, we wish you a safe journey. 🚤❤
