History
The origins of Surf Life Saving can be traced back to the actions of Mr William Gocher who, in September 1092 at Manly Beach, defied the law of the time by bathing during prohibited hours. His action and similar actions be others, forced authorities to confront the issue if daylight bathing as surfing began to grow rapidly into a national pastime.
