Membership
“In it for life” is a catch-phrase that has been adopted by Surf Lifesaving New Zealand and its affiliated districts and clubs. In it for life is how it often is for many that become involved. Usually starting out as young teenaged lifeguards and competitors, members stay involved and contribute to the movement as senior guards, coaches, team managers, club and district executive members and officials at competitions throughout their lives. Friendships formed span years, decades, clubs and countries.
At East End we offer a fun friendly club environment with opportunities for personal development, fitness, competition and recreation. Additionally, life-guarding provides an opportunity to provide a worthwhile community service.
Club membership can be:
· As an active lifeguard (14 years and older)
· As an active surf sports competitor and lifeguard
· As a supporter
· As an official at competitions
· As a junior surf member, learning beach safety, water confidence, competition and fun (7 to 14 year olds)
