The 2025 Aon New Zealand Pool Rescue Championships, in partnership with Surf Life Saving New Zealand
This year, we were proud to fly our flag with our partners Surf Life Saving New Zealand at the 2025 Aon New Zealand Pool Rescue Championships in Albany, Auckland. This event continues our commitment to saving lives and protecting our communities.
The Aon New Zealand Pool Rescue Championships are a highlight of the Surf Life Saving calendar and showcased the dedication and skills that help to keep our beaches and communities safe. It was an honour to be at the pool alongside the athletes, supporters, and volunteers that made this incredible event, and to support and celebrate those that do the mahi to keep our patrolled beaches safer.
Teaming up with SLSNZ, we are helping to ensure that communities and future generations are better informed and better advised to make Better Decisions in and around the water.
