Rookies challenged
Ocean Beach Surf Lifesaving Club has placed second in the Rookie Challenge event held at Ocean Beach on Friday, January 21, from 2pm to 3pm.
All 15 clubs on the Central Coast competed in the event with competitors showing the lifesaving skills they've learnt from patrolling the beach.
The events in the Rookie Challenge were based both on theory and practical skills and consist of six children in a team.
Participants were numbered and chosen randomly.
They were required to undertake tasks such as identifying and performing signals used on the beach, answering trivia questions about lifesaving and competing in team relay events aimed at highlighting the necessity of working as a team.
