How to register online
Registration and payment is all done online. You will either be a:
1. Renewing member
2. New member
Details on how to register for each are set out below. You may have a combination for your family. If this is the case, register the new member first.
Step 2. Generally you require a portal account for each individual member - child(ren) and adult(s). So either:
- Login - if you set up accounts last season. Forgotton your login details? Follow prompts on https://portal.sls.com.au/ to recover the details
OR
- If you don't have portal accounts, create new separate accounts for each child and parent registering. Help creating accounts>>
Step 3. Once you’ve logged in to the Portal, click Memberships
Step 4. Follow the online instructions to register. Check your contact details very carefully. It's how we keep in touch with you all season.
Step 5. Follow the online instructions to pay
-You don't need to pay for each person separately in their individual accounts. Make one payment for your whole family against one of the portal accounts (we'll link them all).
- Tip when in the payment screen: Next to the words WANDA SLSC see "Click here to view price list" for rego costs
Step 2. Follow the prompts to register. You will then receive an email outlining your rego is pending. At this point, while you can click on the link to proceed with payment you should note:
- If you have other family members to register as new members, go back and do this first.
- If you have other family members who are existing members and require their rego renewed, go to and do this first (follow steps above)
Step 3. Once you’ve registered everyone, go to the payment link.
-You don't need to pay for each person separately. Make one payment for your whole family against one of the accounts (we'll link them all).
Documentation needed from new members
Once you have completed the online rego, you also need to provide us with some documentation. Bring it to the proficiency days.
- New nippers - child’s ORIGINAL birth certificate as proof of age
- New nipper parents (joining as members) bring:
- Completed Member Protection form for each parent joining. Download>>
- Completed Image consent form. Download>>

Proficiency swim
All nippers need to complete an annual proficiency swim and float test. This can be done at rego days if your child is comfortable attempting it at that time. Bring swimmers, googles, cap and towel. If doing the ocean swim, bring pink high vis vest (compulsory) and wetsuit (optional).
