New Lifeguards/ Patrol Supports – Good luck for those going to exam on Saturday in Opotiki, we had Simon Robinson, Joseph White, Keita Baggott and Rlyn Eltringham pass the theory test this week with a huge thanks to Chaz from Eastern Region for giving up his time to ensure we could hold the test.
Great day with u11s u12s u13s u14s and trainee lifeguards combining to paddle 3km to the big rock at Newdicks beach to do bombs off it and learn about rock entries and exits. Thanks to the Dads who jumped on a board.
And younger age groups got to play with Blue patrol lifeguards and take advantage of the warner waters with lots of swimming, boarding and games.
Will need to bring: A fold out chair; Food; Drink; Sun protection; Awesome attitude; Parents dress code is Hawaiian Shirt and punishments for non compliance are brutal 🙂
If you are new to competition, we need to provide three people to help with being officials. We are not a win at all costs type club but do challenge our athletes to do the things that they are good at, plus some other events they find harder. Our ultimate aim at carnivals would be a Pukehina Team in every single age group both boys and girls.
Many hands make light work and we welcome everybody to come along and support
