Ocean Beach dominates in pool rescue
More than 250 athletes took to the water for the NSW Surf Life Saving Pool Rescue Championships at the Peninsula Leisure Centre in October.
Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club took out the club point score and dominated teams across all ages.
Events such as obstacle swims, manikin carries, medley relays and emergency response competitions were contested at the centre.
From Under-13s to Masters, all entrants had the chance to showcase their rescuing skills in preparation for the Interstate Championships in January.
The event will include pool rescue competitions for the first time.
Surf Life Saving NSW surf sports manager Ms Jodi Thomas said she was delighted at how the day turned out.
"It is great to see such an increase in entries for pool competition in NSW," Ms Thomas said.
"The elite level of competition seen here puts NSW in a strong position to defend out Australian Interstate champion title in 2010."
