| No off season | 🟢⚫️⚪️

Some of us hit the slopes, do mid Winter dips 🥶 or hit the pool - others head offshore and continue doing what they love, life guarding!

Big ups 🙌🏼 to Will for continuing the solid māhi but in the Northern Hemisphere this time - RNLI Lifeguards South Devon are lucky to have you on their team.

Read more about an epic rescue the team performed here:

‘Two people were safely rescued after their kayak capsized in challenging conditions near Burgh Island on the morning of Saturday 16 May, thanks to a swift multi-agency response involving RNLI lifeguards and Hope Cove Independent Lifeboat.

The incident marked the first rescue of the season at Sedgewell Cove, and the first for Will Simmons as an RWC operator, having passed his assessment just the day before…’

Happy New Zealand sign language week Deaf Aotearoa 🟢⚫️⚪️

It’s super important that the deaf and hard of hearing community know how to access 111 in an emergency to get a hold of life savers - remember to contact the Police and they can contact us or Coastguard

Remember to always let someone know you are in the water and always have a buddy in the water and on the beach in case you need help. We’re here to help, even in the ‘off season’!

| Retrospective time | 🟢⚫️⚪️

Over the coming weeks we will look back on yet another successful season full of growth, opportunities, solid māhi and fun.

First up is the Sumner / Taylors combined SAR team end of season SAREx. Held over on the stunning Diamond Harbour, the team camped at Orton Bradley Park and based themselves out of the excellent Diamond Harbour Community Hall.

We had visits from our friends at Coastguard Sumner and Hato Hone St John MIST, help from TrackMe NZ equipment and a great catch up with the local volunteer emergency response group SWERG. Meeting and practicing with other groups before an emergency happens is really important.

Some of the SAR team were needed in the North Island for the impending Cyclone. Clubbie Izzy got to experience a ‘front loading’ and prep for an impending weather event that might have needed our SAR team skills. As the weather event didn’t create the chaos it might have the team got to head back home.

The team continue to train over Winter, solidifying the basics, continuing to learn and practice a variety of skillsets. Thanks team for your contribution throughout the season.

| Anzac Day 🇳🇿 | 🟢⚫️⚪️

“And I saw for the first time how, despite the isolation of our own lives, we are always connected to our ancestors; our bodies hold the memories of those who came before us, whether it is the features we inherit or a disposition that is etched into our soul.”

A reminder of what we have because of those that came before us. The refreshed memorial with thanks to NZ Remembrance Army still stands strong. ‘Never was so much owed by so many to so few’. We take care of the plinth and remember the Taylors Mistake SLSC club members who made the ultimate sacrifice. We are grateful for those who served and returned home. We thank those who have served New Zealand and all those who support them.

“It is not enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it." — Eleanor Roosevelt

We will remember them.
