North Steyne Claims 2nd at NSW State Championships in Lifesaving

webadminEvents, Members area, News, Surf Sports

Our North Steyne lifesaving team proudly pulled on the black and gold caps over the last two weeks at the NSW State Championships held at Swansea Belmont and Caves Beach. Across the two weekends, our team of 17 took part in Champion Lifesaver, First Aid, and Patrol Competition events and delivered outstanding performances throughout with every single competitor earning club points!

This is the second year in a row we have claimed second overall in Lifesaving and we have a record number of members who have qualified for Aussies. To qualify for Aussies, a 1st, 2nd and in some events a 3rd place guarantee you a place. The official listing will be published shortly by SLSA for those who have been placed on reserve with the goal of starting at Bilinga at the end of March. 

None of this is possible without the support crew and officials who volunteer their time to allow us to compete. Special thanks in particular to Emeric for all the amazing photos, Scarlett who also was number one babysitter for Ada allowing Claire and Shannon to both compete (and both win GOLD!), James for all the logistics support and stepping in to be team manager when we were either competing or officiating and Oli for coaching our Youth cohort while I was officiating!

Enjoy the photos below! How lucky we are as a club to such an amazing and talented group of members.
