All Lifeguards at South Brighton beach on patrol are qualified lifeguards having passed their Bronze medallion award, most have also choosen to do a senior lifeguard course teaching the lifeguards more advanced skills for patolling local beaches.

Our Lifeguards also know the beach and surrounding areas very well, so are experts in knowing the local surf conditions. All lifeguards dediacte their own time in the weekends during summer to make the beach a much safer enviroment for you, your family and the general public.

South Brighton beach is a small beach on a very long coastline in the Pegasus bay area, It is probably not one of the busiest beaches in canterbury, but is one of the safest. Our patrol area is usually set up on the beach in front of the clubhouse between the Red and Yellow Flags indicating the safest swimming area that is patrolled by Lifeguards.

We encourage people to swim between the flags it is dedicated as a safe zone and makes the lifeguards role much easier. Due to the vast area of beach and surf along the coastline not patrolled by lifeguards with hazards like holes and rips, we strongly advise for your safety to swim at a patrolled beach between the red and yellow flags.
