Surf Lifesaving Report

Week 5 Term 4 2023

Year 7 and 8 Nippers

Surf conditions were excellent during the week and on Saturday, meaning that the nippers could continue their training and conduct plenty of events. The skills of the boys are improving which is great to see.  The following events were held during the week:

1st	Henry P	Noah M	McLaren/Jackson/Alderson

Year 9 and 10 Intermediates

The Intermediate Bronze Medallion Group have spent their time between developing their skills and knowledge for the upcoming Bronze Medallion Award and still getting involved in some competitive events on the beach and in the surf. The boys have practised the ‘dry’ elements of First Aid, CPR, signals and radio use and continue to build confidence in the ‘wet’ elements of board rescues, tube rescues and spinal injury recovery. SLS training both in the week and on Saturday presented excellent conditions for some competitive swim and board races.

Year 11 Seniors

The Seniors unfortunately had a beach session cancelled in the week due to thunder and lightning. However, they more than made up for it later in the week, with great conditions experienced on both Thursday and Saturday. The boys competed in their Patrol Teams whilst they waited for their turn to patrol on the roster. The Seniors took part in a wide range of beach and water events and the following results were recorded:

	Individual Board Race	Board-Swim (2 man)	Board Race – Water Start
