Shout out to all those who became lifeguards and officials. We couldn’t have done it without you. Big thanks! Nothing short of magnificent - TEAM MARANUI - LEGENDS!

Ngā mihi. <!-- --> MARANUI END OF SEASON CELEBRATION Maranui SLSC invites you all to come and celebrate the Maranui End of Season Celebration 2023. This is held annually to recognise the achievements and service of club members over the season for lifeguarding, junior surf, senior sports, instructors, coaches and service to Maranui SLSC over multiple years. We encourage all club members to attend. This celebration is for both juniors and seniors, we hope to see as many of you there as possible PLEASE RSVP USING THE ONLINE FORM - https://forms.gle/k8pFYAwMcwwRZ3U37 RSVP by Monday 1 May SUNDAY 7 MAY Wellington Rugby Club Hataitai Park, Ruahine St, Hataitai AWARDS START 3PM SHARP Awards finish 5pm Finger food, water and fruit juice will be provided. Drinks can be purchased from the bar (EFTPOS is available). <!-- --> Junior Surf (Nippers) What a season we have had. I know we haven’t celebrated our tamariki as often as we should in this newsletter, but hopefully our social media content has shown how we love seeing what they and the parents achieve. Jump on Facebook www.facebook.com or instgram www.instagram.com/maranuislsc/. As I look back over this season I feel proud of every child that pulls on togs or wetsuit and hits the water at Sunday sessions, Carnivals & Mid week development sessions. I thank our amazing coaches for the effort and care they give to developing these amazing kids. We did not cancel a Sunday session, ran for 3 extra weeks into March and ran the Inaugural Boat ramp to beach swim. This year had 18 athletes regularly taking part in mid week development & 16 of those headed to Oceans - Junior surf nationals and represented Maranui with pride and showed all the values of the Maranui way. We also had a steady 6-10 keen paddlers come on a Thursday to board skills sessions. We want to grow these groups and grow more lifeguards as well as athletes who continue through to lifeguard sports. We can not achieve what we achieve without unwavering support from our parent group, sign in crew, lifeguards and board members. Thank you to the parents who have become officials this year, managed age groups at carnivals and squeegeed the floor before leaving, it was noticed and appreciated. As we plan for 2023/24 we are always looking for more officials, coaches, helpers …If your not sure what you can do give me a call/text/email. If you have any thoughts on what we can do to support more kids getting involved again reach out. Sunday 7th May is our end of season celebration. We celebrate the success of our tamariki, excellence in our senior lifeguard sport athletes, achievements of lifeguards in service and our amazing volunteers. Please do join us, its also an opportunity to meet some of those people you don’t see often or haven’t met but do heaps for our Nippers.

MARANUI REPRESENTS AT TSB NATIONALS 2023 IN NEW BRIGHTON Big, challenging, scary and exciting are all words that Maranui's lifeguard sport team would use to describe the surf conditions at TSB Nationals. Maranui has been going through a rebuilding phase of it's senior team with only 2 current athletes having experienced Nationals previously thanks to Covid. The club has some exciting talent that showed their potential and that they are heading in the right direction. Athletes made a number of finals across the age groups. Whilst only one Podium was achieved the young team showed they are on the cusp of producing podium finishes, by recording 4ths, 5ths, 6ths, 7ths and top 15's in highly competitive races and challenging conditions. Ski events were incredibly hard in 3 metre surf and gnarly sandbars. It was incredibly satisfying to see our U19 women's ski relay team of Holly Reynolds, Ruby Douglas and Ella Strang rewarded with a bronze. Coach Rhys is looking forward to continuing the work and fun, seeing what can be achieved in 2023/24 as the team matures and the mahi starts.
