Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a surf lifeguard?

Well here is your chance to experience what it is like to be lifeguard for a day, at a patrolled beach close to you, while also supporting the Surf Life Saving Summer Appeal at the same time!

Fully supported by trained lifeguards, you will have the opportunity to experience a variety of essential lifeguard activities including; beach patrols, tube rescues, performing preventative actions and even taking a ride in an Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) - all in the name of keeping kiwis safe at the beach.

Please note there is no age restriction for this experience, as the day will be personally tailored to the winning bidder.

About Surf Life Saving New Zealand:

Surf Life Saving New Zealand is the national association representing 73 Surf Life Saving Clubs in New Zealand. Since 1910, extraordinary New Zealanders have been volunteering their weekends to patrol New Zealand beaches.

This season around 4,000 volunteer lifeguards will spend over 200,000 hours keeping a watchful eye on over 80 beaches throughout the country, helping to make them a safer place for Kiwis and their families to enjoy their summer.

During an average season, over 1,200 people are rescued from life-threatening situations. Last year that number was over 1,600.

We are an essential rescue service as well as a charity and we need the public’s support to raise money to help lifeguards save more lives on New Zealand’s beaches this summer.

Today, our future is in your hands.
