One of my homework tasks is to give my skills to help others: join a first aid club or a surf life saving club or similar. I have chosen to join a surf life saving club. Well I didn't really need to join one because I was already part of one. My club is Mount Maunganui Surf Life Saving Club which I have been a part of for nearly 8 years; I started when I was five. I really love surf life saving - I train every week day in the summer. My club have two very experienced coaches. The head coach is John Bryant (aka spindles) who was a national coach for many years; his assistant coach Holly was a world beach sprint champion.
Rookie Lifeguard Program
I am part of a rookie lifeguard program to learn to be a lifeguard. I joined this program late last year and I attend rookie sessions every saturday for 2 hours. The rookie program is made for kids from 12 to 13 years of age wishing to be a surf lifeguard. One or two trained lifeguards will take our group of about 10 people and teach us a variety of subjects such as, first aid, how to talk with the radios and other things you need to know to be a lifeguard. To be awarded the rookie lifeguard award you have to take part in 4 patrols (on less then 12 hours in total), you also have to complete all rookie lifeguard log books. I am on the same patrol as my big sister Alex who is already a trained lifeguard.

Well done Hoani, it looks like you have spent a long time on writing out the description of what you have to do as a rookie lifeguard. This post would definitely convince anyone that you have put a good 5 hours in. Congratulations on your first homework post!
