Rescue and Resusitation Session this Saturday

There have been a number of teams interested in competing in the R&R event this season which is great. So this upcoming Saturday (22nd of Novemeber) I’ll be running a session for all interested at 11:30am on the lawns outside of the club rooms.

Please head down as this is the main session where I’ll be running through what the event is, creating teams and assigning coaches and even doing some beginning stages of training.

It is open to anyone who is U/10 and above

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Under 9 news from Brad

Over the past two weeks we have seen some great efforts in the under 9 age group.

We had 10 children complete their first Ocean Timed Swim last Saturday in choppy conditions and have had an additional 11 complete their survival float and 25m evaluation swim.

With another nice weekend forecast we will definitely see more kids complete their swim.

A special mention to TJ who did 2 Ocean Timed Swims on Saturday and was wanting to do more.

Excellent effort by all of the kids for having a go at these testing activities.
