Our Club President and Life Member, Kerry Armstrong-Smith, has been inducted as a SLSA Masters Legend.

The Masters Legend award recognises competitors who have shown years of commitment, consistency, and success at the highest level of Masters competition and that’s exactly what Kerry has done.

Her career speaks for itself:

Over 50 years at Umina SLSC

A 39-year competitive career

24+ years on the podium in Champion Lifesaver

State, Australian, and World Champion

95+ podium finishes at State and National level

Kerry helped pave the way for women in surf sports by competing, leading, and breaking barriers in a male-dominated era. She has shaped generations of athletes and lifesavers as a leader and mentor within the club. Kerry embodies everything surf lifesaving stands for.

Congratulations, Kerry – a legend in every sense of the word. We are so proud!
