Compete clean. Keep sports fair.

When our sport is clean, every athlete has a chance to compete on a level playing field. It keeps things fair and protects the spirit of the sport you love.

As we get ready for the Aon New Zealand Pool Rescue Championships, there are plenty of ways you can help keep our sport clean:

• Learn about the Sports Anti-Doping Rules
• Make safe supplement decisions
• Promote positive sporting values

Been meaning to write your Will but haven't got around to it?

Until 21 September, Surf Life Saving supporters can create a free Will through our partner Safewill. It's done online, takes most people under 20 minutes, and every Will is reviewed by Safewill's law firm before you receive instructions to sign and witness.

You'll also get the option to leave a gift to Surf Life Saving NZ. No obligation, but it helps keep our lifesavers on patrol for years to come.

Offer closes 21 September: https://bit.ly/4AutrQm

Meet Jody Bryce from St Kilda SLSC in Dunedin.

Jody has been part of St Kilda since she was a nipper herself. These days, she manages nippers, the IRB team, and sand sports, while also serving as women’s club captain and patrol captain.

Having studied sport management, Jody says surf lifesaving has had a huge impact on her own development and given her opportunities to mentor others along the way.

She works as an administrator in the building industry, and describes the St Kilda community as family. It’s the people who keep her coming back.
As Jody puts it, “there’s more to surf lifesaving than the red and yellow uniforms... there’s a place for everyone.”
