bp Rescue of the Month awards recognise operational excellence by Surf Lifeguards. Surf Life Saving Clubs can nominate their members for outstanding execution of their skills and training in searches, rescues, first-aids and other incidents.
Each month from November through to March, four nominations will be selected and will each receive a $250 bp gift card and a write up in the Surf Life Saving New Zealand Member News newsletter.
If your club wins bp Rescue of the Month, SLSNZ may approach the lifeguards and/or the club for further media opportunities.
