Invited to Darwin championships

Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club's top lifesaving teams has received invitational positions to compete in the Surf Life Saving Northern Territory's Annual Championships to be held in Darwin next month.

Club publicity officer Mr Aaron Camp said the top lifesaving team's achievement follows on from an outstanding performance at recent competitions.

"The invitation comes on the back of dominant performances by Ocean Beach competitors at the NSW Surf Life Saving titles held at Swansea, and at the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships held at Scarborough Beach in Western Australia," Mr Camp said.

"The Ocean Beach Invitational Team will compete in the champion patrol, champion lifesaver, and first aid events, as well as participate in workshops to develop lifesaving, first aid and rescue techniques."

Patrol captain Mr Richard Grimmond said the team was looking forward to competing in the Northern Territory championships coming up on August 1.

"This opportunity will develop new lifesaving relationships and adhere to the strategic intent of Surf Life Saving Australia, that is, to provide safe beach and aquatic environments around Australia," Mr Grimmond said.

The team is currently looking for sponsors to help send them on their way to the Northern Territory and would appreciate any support.
