The New Brighton Surf Lifesaving Club is the oldest surf lifesaving club in New Zealand having been formed in July 1910. New Brighton SLSC has had a distinguished history both as a lifeguarding and a sporting organisation.

The weekend of 10 March to 13 March 2011 will see the club observe its centenary by hosting the National Surf Life Saving Championships, which will incorporate the NZ Masters Championships.

New Brighton SLSC is as relevant to the wider Christchurch community today as it was back in 1910. The club continues to provide an invaluable community service in the form of voluntary lifeguard patrols.  In the 2009/2010 summer season club members worked a total of 2055 voluntary patrol hours.
