Iron men spread the word

Iron men Daniel Shade from Avoca Beach and Cronulla's Nathan Smith addressed more than 250 Year 5 and Year 6 students from the Umina Public School.

The 11 and 12 year olds had an excursion to the NSW Surf Life Saving Championships at Ocean Beach at Umina, which has attracted almost 9000 competitors over the last two weekends.

"It's all about spreading the surf lifesaving word to the youngsters of NSW and we were more than happy to host the kids from Umina and give them the chance to meet the stars and watch them in action," said Darren Jameson, director of youth, development and membership for Surf Life Saving NSW.
