At Trigg Island, Silver Salties is a low cost, social and physical program for members aged 65 and over, run year-round.
What's on offer

Weekly walking groups, and yoga classes in the club hall during the cooler months
Inside or Beach fitness circuits all year round, followed by refreshments at the Club
Swimming lessons and squad
A national initiative
Silver Salties is managed by Surf Life Saving Australia, promoted by SLSWA, and delivered locally by clubs like Trigg Island. It's supported by Sport Australia's Move It — Better Ageing Grant program. While Silver Salties targets members aged 65+, adults 18+ are welcome to take part.
Membership & insurance
Silver Salties is one of the Club's Community membership categories (see Membership Categories & Fees) — $150 for the season. Silver Salties members are covered by SLSA Group Cover Personal Accident Insurance while participating in authorised Silver Salties activities — a specific arrangement separate from standard SLSA personal accident insurance (see Insurance & Cover).
