Become a Life Guard

The Whakatane Surf Lifesaving Club will soon be conducting their annual lifeguard training program. This involves each candidate to successfully complete the 20 hour program and be awarded their Surf Bronze which means they are a qualified guard.
Each member is taught all facets of lifesaving from first aid, tube rescues and being able to deal with people in the water should a patient grab hold of them. Not only practical attributes are required there is also a portion of theory that must be completed.
