OUR SPONSORS

Since 1945.
When the Pacific war ended in August 1945, thousands of soldiers faced months of waiting to be demobilised. At the Watercraft Workshops in Bulimba, Craftsman Tom Sneyd — a pre-war lifesaver from Stanwell Park — rallied his mates into swimming and lifesaving instead of waiting around.
They drove down from Brisbane in army vehicles, slept in tents, ate from the mess, and built the first clubhouse on the Ocean Street beachfront out of scrounged material. The first Bronze Medallion squad qualified on Christmas Day, 1945.
The beach wasn’t even called Mermaid Beach yet. It was Los Angeles Beach until 11 September 1946 — so the club is older than the name of the beach it patrols. We kept AEME in our name as a reminder of who started us.
Eighty years on, we’re still here. Volunteer patrols every weekend of the season, a Nippers program full of kids who’ll grow up knowing this beach, and a club that’s been named Australian Surf Life Saving Club of the Year and Queensland Club of the Year.
Same beach. Same job. Better clubhouse.
