Paekakariki Surf Lifeguards (Inc.)

Training has begun this year and we will see the coaching run differently than in the past. Four years ago we had one athlete in the over 14 age group, last year we had 26 go to nationals and this year it has grown to 38 with more to be added as the season gets closer.

This year we will be splitting into 3 training squads, A, B and C. This will allow gear to be allocated to each group while they are training and will give the group training to the level they require.

See PDF at bottom of the page to see what squad you are in.
