How do I become a Surf Lifeguard at New Brighton SLSC?

To gain your Surf Lifeguard Award you need to first join New Brighton Surf Life Saving Club.

You will be taught first aid, resuscitation, practical rescue skills and you must complete a 400m swim within the time limit. The Club will provide the training and equipment you need to learn the skills to be ready to sit the examination. 

The exam tests both practical and theoretical lifesaving knowledge that you have been taught.  Exams are run throughout the summer so as soon as you are ready, you can put your learning to the test.

Once you have achieved your Surf Lifeguard Award you can become part of your Clubs' Lifeguard patrol team and a whole world of opportunities are available to you.  You can continue to develop your Lifeguard skills through first aid courses, programmes to develop your Lifeguard skills or learn to drive the Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB).

For more information about becoming a Surf Lifeguard at New Brighton SLSC please contact Andrew Jensen, Lifesaving Manager.
