I joined
our

three-week summer ■junior surf program
at around 10 years old,
encouraged by my parents. The program challenged me physically
and mentally, leading me to start rookie lifeguard training at 13. I
then earned my lifeguard award in 2022, which has opened many

Since earning my award, I’ve attended various surf camps involving

as junior and intermediate surf camps,
and
new friends from new clubs. I have completed my surf level 昀椀rst
aid and am currently working

became a lifeguard to promote beach safety and help people in my
community with my friends. Now, I help instruct the junior surf
program and patrol our beach during the summer.

A signi昀椀cant highlight of my lifeguarding experience has been
joining the 2024 Huntington Exchange Team. Our beach partners
with Piha to spend two weeks in California patrolling Huntington
Beach. Being part of this team has pushed me both physically and
mentally. We have frequent training camps at the surf club and
must run 5km and swim 400m within certain times. Because of
this requirement, I’ve taken up running and swimming regularly.
Last year, I could only run 2km without walking, but since then,
I’ve completed three half marathons! This achievement started with
joining the junior surf program at age 10, and I’m very proud of my
progress.
Beyond lifeguarding, I am involved in youth search and rescue
(YSAR) and I participate in school sports such as football, netball
and touch rugby. I’m on the Hauraki First XI girls football team,
and I umpire and play netball, as well as referee and play touch
rugby. During summer, I patrol and instruct at the beach, and in
winter, I navigate and camp in the bush with YSAR. Through YSAR,
I completed a 24-hour solo in the bush, earned my Level 2 昀椀rst aid,
and can con昀椀dently use GPS, radio, as well as map and compass,
for navigation. YSAR is a three-year program with monthly camps
in the Kaimai range and weekly theory lessons. Last year, I received
the Best Overall award for YSAR.
Combining my lifeguarding 昀椀tness and navigation skills, I have also
taken up adventure racing, which complements my abilities well.
One of my biggest fears is not knowing what to do in an emergency,
but my experiences in lifeguarding and YSAR have prepared me for
a wide range of situations. If someone is unsure about getting into
lifeguarding, my biggest piece of advice would be to just get into
it. It’s challenging but incredibly rewarding, and you never know
where it might take you.
