Congratulations

Congratulations to our Champion Lifesavers!

Last Sunday we had 3 competitors compete in Champion Lifesaver at Grange.

Nicholas Lindsay brought home the bronze in the U14 boys; Cooper Clee won the silver in the U19 males; and Lilija Zampatti made it a 3 year winning streak of gold medals in her age group after winning the U16 females!

Congratulations to all.

Thanks also to IRB crew and helpers. Steve Harris (driver); Ella Andrews (crew); and Wanga for helping set up the IRB.
