Lifesaving Resources

Welcome to the Lifesaving Resources Toolbox.  This page houses all online resources and material to help develop you further as an instructor and to assist you with teaching our Lifeguarding education. 

Refreshers: Surf Lifeguard, Patrol Support, Powercraft (IRB & RWC) and Instructor/Examiners

SLSNZ requires completion of Refreshers to ensure that members are able to deal with situations that occur in Surf Lifesaving and use Surf Lifesaving equipment in a safe and appropriate way before they are in a ‘live’ patrol situation.
