Silver Salties

Fun, fitness, and friendship for older Australians

Are you looking to get out and connect with new people in your community?  Do you feel the need to get moving and are not sure how to get started? Have you been part of Silver Salties before and can’t wait to catch up with everyone again?
 
Kingston Beach Surf Club organises and supports Silver Salties offering a safe, friendly group environment to enjoy physical movement, social connection and time in nature.  You also become linked with us, your local surf club, and enjoy invitations to various events we hold throughout the year.
 

We focus on supporting adults 65+ years however anyone older than 18 is welcome to participate. Hence the name Silver Salties.  Those of us who are involved in supporting the Silver Salties program also bring our own silvery hair to the beach or tai ji class. 
We welcome anyone of any ability to either of these activities.  Silver Salties is all about fun, laughter and participation, not winning trophies or being judged.  As always, the Club welcomes any donations to support you feel moved to offer once you have participated. There will be a sign up link added to this page shortly, so that we can ensure we have your correct contact details and those of a person we can contact in case of emergency.

We offer 2 activities that you are welcome to join (subject to the time of year):

Dipping in the ocean at Kingston Beach.  Our water sessions have concluded for 2026 but we will be back in January 2027.  This water-based activity will always start from the bottom of the access ramp in front of the amenities block.  It is half way along the beach.  There may be an opportunity for coffee afterwards if people are keen.  There is no cost for this activity.

Tai Ji at the Kingston Neighbourhood House.  Starting at 9.30am on Friday 13 February, we will be offering a 1 hour Tai Ji class with skilled teacher and practitioner.  The focus of this class is balance, breathing, flexibility and social connections.  There will be a small charge for this class.

‘Tai Ji and internal arts’: tai ji and qi gong offer a restorative and generative practice, not only for the body, to develop greater awareness, co-ordination, strength, balance and mobility, but also for the mind and most importantly the spirit!
