“In it for life” is a powerful catchphrase embraced by Surf Lifesaving New Zealand and its affiliated districts and clubs.

For many who join, this phrase rings true. What often begins as a journey in their teenage years — training as lifeguards and competing in surf sports — evolves into a lifelong commitment. Over time, members continue to contribute in meaningful ways, taking on roles as senior lifeguards, coaches, team managers, officials, and executive members at club, district, and national levels.

Surf lifesaving is more than a sport or a service; it becomes a way of life, fostering a deep connection to the movement and the community it serves.

Friendships formed through surf lifesaving often span years, decades, clubs, and even countries, creating connections that last a lifetime.

At East End Surf Lifesaving Club, we pride ourselves on fostering a fun, friendly, and inclusive environment. Our club offers opportunities for personal growth, fitness, competition, and recreation, all while being part of a supportive community.

Lifeguarding also provides the unique chance to make a real difference through a valuable community service, helping to keep our beaches safe for everyone.

We welcome members of all ages and interests, with options to suit everyone:

• Active Lifeguard (14 years and older)
• Surf Sports Competitor and Lifeguard
• Supporter Member
• Competition Official
• Junior Surf Member (7–14 years old) – learning beach safety, water confidence, competition, and, most importantly, having fun

Whether you’re a young beginner, a social member, or an experienced competitor aiming for success on the national stage, East End SLSC has a place for you. From the young to the young at heart, your journey with us is yours to shape.
