New Zealand lifeguards rescued 24 people over the weekend amid dangerous conditions and high beach crowds.
Surf lifeguards in New Zealand made 24 rescues over the Jan. 17–18, 2026 weekend, with increased demand due to warm weather, high beach attendance, and hazardous conditions, particularly at unpatrolled areas and events like Soundsplash.
Incidents included a fatal drowning during the Tauranga Half Ironman, a person unresponsive near Jacobs Ladder, and multiple rescues at Māori Bay and Raglan, where lifeguards managed over 2,000 people.
SLSNZ urged the public to swim between red and yellow flags, use the Safe Swim app, and seek help immediately if in distress.
