About
Whangamata Surf Life Saving Club, located in the scenic coastal town of Whangamat, has been providing essential services to promote safe and enjoyable beach experiences since 1949. As a voluntary organisation, the club relies on the tireless efforts of its dedicated volunteers, members, and sponsors to carry out its mission.
One of the club's primary focuses is the Junior Surf programme, which offers children aged 5 to 13 the opportunity to learn how to stay safe both on the beach and in the water. This programme not only imparts important lifesaving skills but also encourages new friendships and delivers a fun and engaging experience for the whole family.
Another aspect of Whangamata Surf Life Saving Club is its emphasis on lifeguarding and life-saving sport. Lifeguards are trained and deployed throughout summer to ensure the safety of beachgoers, responding to incidents along the coast from Houmunga Bay to Pauanui. In addition, the club promotes healthy competition among its lifeguards, taking part in rescue-style events that bolster their fitness levels and enhance their life-saving skills.
The club's patrol hours for the upcoming 2023/2024 season are from Labour weekend until Easter, with additional weekday patrols from 11th December 2023 to 16th February 2024. The South beach flagged area patrols operate from 25th December 2023 to 14th January 2024, between 11 am and 5 pm.
Whangamata Surf Life Saving Club extends its gratitude to its sponsors and supporters without whom their valuable work would not be possible. The club acknowledges their ongoing commitment and support, which allow them to protect and serve the community in the water. Those interested in joining this great group of sponsors and supporters are encouraged to contact the club manager via email at manager@whangamatasurf. co.
