This is a four week course with most training sessions held on Thursdays from 5:30 - 7 pm and on Sundays from 3 - 5pm. It is important that you can attend most, if not all sessions. You will also need to be able to attend one of the two exam dates; either the 24th of December or alternatively you may sit the exam component later on the 14th of January.

Volunteering as a Surf Lifeguard is fun and rewarding . . . you make life-long friends, become trained in first aid, resuscitation, and practical rescue skills as well as have the opportunity to stay fit and healthy through competing in a wide variety of surf lifesaving sports . . . all whilst helping to save lives and prevent drownings!

Our volunteers come from all walks of life - they love the beach and have a desire to give back and ensure fellow kiwis and visitors get to enjoy New Zealand’s beaches as well.
