Surf Lifesaving Report
Week 3 Term 4
Years 7 and 8 Nippers
The nippers had a challenging board training session on Wednesday, where the boys had to negotiate some wind-blown waves with a lot of current. It was great to see all boys growing in confidence in the surf.
On Saturday Long Reef Beach was closed due to dangerous surf. The nippers took their surf craft over to Fisherman’s Beach where the conditions were better. There was still a challenging shore break that claimed a few victims as the boys competed in a board race, board relay and surf swim. The following results were recorded:
| Board Race | Surf Swim | |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Marcos Perez | Max Warnes |
| 2nd | Richard Gao | Marcos Perez |
| 3rd | Max Warnes | Tom Breakwell |
| 4th | Tom Breakwell | Jai Van Hamburg |
| 5th | Alby Jackson | Alby Jackson |
| 6th | Ben Frantz | Richard Gao |
Years 9 and 10 Intermediates
The Intermediate group have continued a range of competitive swimming, running and board paddling events, interspersed with skills and knowledge development in readiness for their Bronze Medallion. Unfortunately, Week 3 saw Long Reef Beach closed on all occasions, so the boys made the most of calmer conditions over the headland at Fisherman’s Beach on Thursday and Collaroy on Saturday. The Intermediate boys now also have a group of Year 11s who will be working with them through their Bronze Medallion, including supporting them through the online learning component. The following Week 3 results were recorded:
| Board Race | Run-Board Race (Relay) | Flags | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Charlie Martin | Charlie Martin and Jackson Yeates | Charlie Martin |
| 2nd | Harrison Graetz | Harrison Grates and Lachlan Adamo | Xavier Adamo |
| 3rd | Chris McIntyre | Ewan Schofield and Christopher McIntyre | Ethan Adamo |
| 4th | Jackson Yeates | ||
| 5th | Ewen Schofield | ||
| 6th | Lachlan Adamo |
Years 10 and 11 Seniors
The Seniors demonstrated resilience and adaptability in the face of numerous beach closures due to large surf and unpredictable beach currents. The boys needed to relocate to both Fisherman’s Beach and Collaroy but this did not dampen their competitive spirit. The Patrol groups are in full swing and enjoyed a relatively quiet day at Long Reef due to strong winds and beach closure. The following results were recorded in competitive events:
| Flags | Swim | Run | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Lewis Kingdom | Josh Clayton | Rory Cope |
| 2nd | Henry Bloore | Henry Bloore | Killian Featherstone |
| 3rd | Sam Walter | Jake Hebblewhite | Jake Hebblewhite |
| 4th | Josh Clayton | Lewis Kingdom | Oliver Roxburgh |
| 5th | Hugh Breakwell | Brodie Waters | |
| 6th | Isaac Edwards | Duncan Cowan | |
| 7th | Charlie Michel | Henry Conick | |
| 8th | Sam Walter | Louis Lamond | |
| 9th | Will Mason Jones | Lewis Kingdom |
