All competitive lifeguards are aged 14 and over and hold a refreshed 'Surf Lifeguard Award' and are particiapting in volunteer lifeguard patrols with Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service. Contact info@mountlifeguards.co.nz if you are keen to join our Senior Competitive Lifeguarding squad for the 2024/2025 season. 

IRBs save more lives than any other piece of surf life saving equipment.  They’re designed to get in and out of the surf quickly, and IRB racing helps hone those skills in lifeguards. Take your development further by completing the IRB Crewpersons Module (IRBCM) and The Senior Lifeguard Award - IRB Driver (SLA-IRBD), and joining the IRB Racing Squad. Details on both courses can be found here.

Contact the club if you are interested in participating in, or supporting our IRB Racing Squad; so we can save more lives on the beach and have a bit of fun as a team along the way! The squad trains one weekday evening and one weekend day currently. The Squad competes in the Eastern Region and New Zealand IRB Championships, along with several other events in the year.
