Register Online with SLSNZ

Anyone joining Midway Surf Lifesaving Club must register with Surf Life Saving New Zealand.

Remember to choose ‘Midway’ in the club box. This should be done as soon as possible.  There is no cost to do this, and you only ever do this once per person/child.   If you need to transfer a membership from another club this process is also done through https://www.surflifesaving.org.nz/join-us/membership.  Once you are registered online, you will receive a SLS number and password to use the Members Portal to keep your details up to date.  Please change your password immediately for security.  If you registered previously and forgotten your logins, please email admin@midwayslsc.co.nz.  For instructions on how to register, check out this short Video or PDF
