MOUNT
MAUNGANUI - SURF REPORTS
The
Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service is situated approximately
20 minutes from Tauranga in the sunny Bay of Plenty. Our clubhouse
is at the base of Mauao on the "Mounts" main beach
where lifeguards are responsible for patrolling 10 kilometres
of coastline. It started in 1929 with a few young adventurers,
some wooden planks and a surf reel and line rescue.... for more
than 75 years the Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service has been
a loyal part of the Tauranga City Community. To become a lifeguard
requires a number of skills and attributes, most important of
which are a positive outlook and a ‘can do' attitude!
There are some specific requirements such as the ability to
swim well, but these can be developed along with your surf lifeguard
instructor, as they lead you through your Surf Lifeguard Award
– the minimum requirement to patrol New Zealand beach’s.
