Whiritoa Lifeguard Service has recently smashed through the shore break where three lifeguard volunteers have achieved an IRB Drivers Senior Lifeguard Awards.
With assistance from Waihi Beach Lifeguard Service, Maiya Bonney, Jack Bonney and Lachlan Power were able to complete their exam.
"These volunteers were really put to the test,
dreary weather with cold winds ensured that conditions weren't perfect, but they persevered and succeeded," says Casey Williams.
"The feedback from the crew is that it was an awesome day."
Examiners and instructors volunteered their time for the day to run the exam.
