The 2025–2026 Rescue Sport Series set a new benchmark for participation, depth of competition, and athlete performance across South African surf lifesaving.
With eight events across Surf and Pool disciplines, structured ranking systems, and official cash prize allocations in Open and U19 divisions, the series continues to grow as a leading performance pathway in the sport.
We look forward to building on this momentum, expanding sponsorship partnerships, and continuing to elevate lifesaving sport across the country.
