Calling all rookie lifeguards!
The Canterbury Rookie Challenge is returning on Saturday 18th March, 2023.
The Rookie Lifeguard Programme has been designed to help junior surf members prepare to be a Surf Lifeguard. The Rookie Lifeguard Programme aims to promote "practical lifeguarding" to the younger members and develop strong ties between senior and junior members as a result of involvement.
The Rookie Challenge will see club teams compete in a 'orienteering style' event where they will complete a variety of lifeguard activities and put their learnings to the test!
