On Sunday 13^th November at 8.30am the Senior Competition Group will be hosting F45 Port Adelaide’s (https://f45training.com.au/portadelaide/) 8 week challenge group for a training session.

We will be introducing them to the fundamentals of surf lifesaving through a session that will not only be a decent work-out but will also be loads of fun.

We want to give them a real taste of SLS by providing opportunities to have a go on boards and skis, have a ride in an IRB, on the back of a jet ski and maybe even in a boat (which they will also have to carry!), try out flags and relays and have a wade race which should really test out their legs.

For this to be successful we will need plenty of support (particularly in the form of water cover). If you are available to help in any way (set-up will be from 7.45am) please contact Craig Lienert on 0430160055 or at cmccwlienert@gmail.com.

Dane, F45 Port Adelaide’s owner, has offered in return to provide a training session (entitled ‘Hollywood’) to 30 of our competitors/members (available to those 16 and above) on Friday 18^th November at 6.30pm.  Valued at $30 per person, if we have 30 people interested (the maximum allowed in a class) this is valued at $900.00!!

If you are keen to attend this hour long class please let Karin Humphrey know ASAP at kaz412@bigpond.com. For your place in the session to be confirmed you will also need to provide a completed copy of the f45-questionnaire consent form (to be signed by a parent if U18).

** Please note – 30 places only available and you MUST be aged 16 or above to attend.

Looking forward to working with Dane and the F45 crew.

An excellent day on the beach with five team racing. And special thanks to Simsy, Johno, Bizz and Kirsty for keeping me sane and going in the right direction on the beach in the organised chaos.

Unfortunately we had to pull the undecideds and we hope Claire is feeling better from her unscheduled Surgery and returns soon

The U19s ran out of legs unfortunately with a fourth in their final but were able to back up in the U23s final and  get Bronze. They also succeeded in a whole season of not helping to pack or unpack the boats before or after carnivals.

TROGs competed in Open men with an average age three times that of the A graders and were able to continually scare the As over the line in front of them. Excellent solid performance and good preparation for Aussies.

The Angry birds had their baby bird in their wings, Michelle, and had a terrific day with the highlight being in the charge with four boats over the wave in the last heat. Excellent performance and good conditions for Michelle’s first carnival.

JACCOs had a cracking day with eight rows covering 6.4 KMs at sprint pace.  2 rows for the Lifesaver relay coming 2nds in the boats both times with the team coming 4^th in the final. JACCOs did their 3 heats (two first and one second)  Semi (second) and made it into the Final with a very respectable Fourth. Hard earnt – terrific effort.

The U23s have been rowing for 6 months now, and came out with a shaky start  to recover in the third heat pushing them into the final from which they got a very hard earned Bronze. Awesome outcome for their first year and very proud of their efforts. 2^nd Women’s medal rowing in semaphore history, and first every Women’s 23 rowing medal.

Thanks to those Boaties that Supported the Saturday Patrol while the seniors were at Day two of State championships.

Last carnival is on 3^rd April and getting ready for Aussies.
