SLSP - The Objective
A National Lifesaving Vision for Peru
Objective 3: Build World-Class Lifesaving Infrastructure Across Peru
Objective Statement
SLSP is committed to developing a world-class lifesaving infrastructure, aligned with Australian best practice and adapted to Peru’s unique geography.
The objective includes the establishment of:
- 60 Australian-style Surf Life Saving Clubs along Peru’s coastline
- An additional 30 lifesaving clubs across rivers, lakes, and inland waters
These facilities will serve as hubs for patrol operations, training, education, emergency response, and community engagement—ensuring lifesaving coverage far beyond traditional beach environments.
Objective 2: Establish a Proven, Investable Organisational Model
Objective Statement
SLSP is designed around a tested, scalable, and financially sustainable model, inspired by the success of Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA)—one of the most effective and financially robust lifesaving organisations in the world.
This model provides:
- Clear governance and accountability
- Professional training pathways
- Community-based volunteer engagement
- Strong public-private partnership appeal
The objective is to create an organisation that is credible to governments, attractive to international donors, and investable for strategic partners seeking long-term social impact.
Objective 1: National Unification Under a Single Lifesaving Authority
Objective Statement
The primary objective of SLSP is to bring together Peru’s diverse maritime, surf, rescue, and lifesaving associations into a single, aligned national entity with shared standards, governance, training systems, and strategic direction.
By unifying these groups, SLSP eliminates fragmentation, duplication, and inefficiency—replacing them with a clear organisational structure capable of national impact.

Objective 4: Deliver Measurable Social, Economic, and Tourism Impact
Objective Statement
Beyond lifesaving, SLSP’s objective is to generate lasting socio-economic benefits for Peru by:
- Reducing preventable drownings and injuries
- Supporting sustainable coastal and river tourism
- Creating volunteer and employment pathways
- Strengthening community resilience and education
SLSP positions water safety as a foundation for economic confidence, particularly in tourism, fishing, and recreation sectors.
Surf Life Saving Peru (SLSP) was established with a clear and transformative objective:
To unite Peru’s fragmented maritime, aquatic, and lifesaving associations under one cohesive, nationally coordinated organisation, modelled on the proven and internationally respected framework of Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA).
This objective is not theoretical. It is operational, measurable, and already in motion.
Objective 5: Signal Credibility Through Proven Momentum
Objective Statement
SLSP is no longer a proposal—it is an established and officially recognised organisation, registered with the Superintendencia Nacional de los Registros Públicos (SUNARP).
Since its formal establishment, SLSP has:
- United 16 associations
- Brought together over 1,100 active members
- Achieved milestones ahead of schedule and beyond expectations
- Secured collaboration with Asociación de Salvavidas Socorristas del Perú (ILS Full Member) and support from the International Life Saving Federation (ILS)
This momentum sends a clear message to international supporters and investors: SLSP is already delivering results.
A Movement, Not Just a Project
SLSP’s objective extends beyond infrastructure and organisation. It is about changing the future of water safety in Peru.
This initiative represents:
A national movement for safety and inclusion
A platform for international collaboration
A proven opportunity for meaningful, long-term impact
