Each day over the season our lifeguard patrols set out the red and yellow flags on Pauanui Beach to show the safest place to swim. Our lifeguards are trainied to identify potential victims and potential dangers, and importantly to work proactively with the public to prevent people getting in trouble.

To become a Lifeguard, the ‘entry level’ qualification is the Surf Lifeguard Award. We’re committed to ongoing learning and development of our lifeguards and we pay for a wide range of course in lifesaving, first aid, coaching and instruction, leadership, teamwork and communication - all to help our lifeguards to help make Pauanui Beach safer.
