The Silver Salties program is up and running at Ocean Beach.
A spokesperson said Silver Salties is all about having fun, fitness, and friendship for older Australians.
“It’s a participation program for older Australians aged 65+ promoting physical activity, social connections, and involvement in the surf lifesaving community,” the spokesperson said.
Managed by Surf Life Saving Australia, coordinated by State Centres and delivered by participating surf lifesaving clubs, the program includes popular active recreational pursuits, as well as traditional surf lifesaving activities.
“Ocean Beach SLSC began its first program Walk with us @ Ocean Beach in early September,” the spokesperson said.
“Our group meets at 8am two days a week.
“We enjoy walking along The Esplanade or on the beach.
“Each walk we have a topic of conversation with a fun quiz over coffee afterwards.”
6S Physio supports the program by providing guidance on stretching, mobilisation and balance exercises pre walk.
The warmer weather will see the start of some water-based activities.
