Seabirds take on Port Elliot

This past weekend four members of the Semaphore SLSC Seabirds competed at the Port Elliot carnival.

They kicked off the day by being the first inclusive March Past team in SA!

These kids were awesome – they competed across events, took on new challenges and most of all, had a lot of fun!

Thank you to their buddies (Bolek, Jack, Jacko, Tom and Neli) and support crew for making it possible.

A huge thanks also to Surf Life Saving SA for supporting our kids and the entire surf community who were so welcoming.

Don’t forget – Semaphore SLSC now has a brand new Davinci Chair to assist with better Beach Access.
