2020 SLSNR Pool Rescue Championships: Cancelled
After today’s COVID-19 announcement from the government, it is with regret that SLSNR have been forced to cancel the 2020 SLSNR Pool Rescue Championships.
With Auckland needing to be in Level 1 for our event to be delivered (and with this outcome highly unlikely), cancelling this event is the only option.
We are investigating a Junior Pool event in mid-November as an alternative, with more information to follow. Currently we are not exploring a Senior alternative.
Eastern Region Pool Champs:
As the rest of the country is still in Level 2 and event operating in a restricted capacity, Eastern Region may have slots open to Northern club members at its upcoming regional champs (12th-13th September). If inter-regional travel is allowed & due to the current Level 2 restrictions (no more than 100 people at an indoor event), see the below entry conditions:
- All out of region Junior entries will only be accepted if the event is likely to be held in Level 1 where capacity allows.
- All out of region Senior entries will be accepted under Level 2 restrictions where capacity allows.
See below for more information, or contact Mark Inglis (mark.inglis@surflifesaving.org.nz):
Apologies again and if you have any questions please get in touch with Zac Franich (zac.franich@lifesaving.org.nz)

SLSNR Board & Ski Squad Announcement
In a new initiative, the below members have been named into respective Board and Ski squads by a selection panel. These selections have been ratified by the SLSNR Sport Operational Committee (SOC), as part of SLSNR’s High Performance strategy. The intent is to provide an opportunity for our established & elite athletes to hone their skills with developing athletes also invited to learn & observe in the same environment.
Similar opportunities are currently being developed for the IRB & Boat fraternity with key influencers being engaged within these areas.
We aim to build on this program in the coming seasons, offering similar opportunities to Beach, Pool, Swim & Iron athletes.
Those named in the Board & Ski squad are invited to the below training days:
- Ski Training Day- 26th September, Mairangi Bay, 8am-6.30pm
- Board Training Day, 31st October, Red Beach, 8am-6.30pm
These training days will include training sessions & workshops, delivered by coaches who have depth of knowledge in their respective areas that contribute to performance. The selection panel reserves the right to invite any additional athletes & coaches to participate in the above event for development purposes.
Congratulations to those named on gaining selection to the respective SLSNR Squads.
Regards,
Dave Shanks
