Umina places fourth in pool rescue

Umina Surf Life Saving Club has placed fourth with 174 points at the NSW Pool Rescue Championships over the weekend of July 16 and 17 at the Peninsula Leisure Centre in Woy Woy.

The Championships included obstacle swims, manikin carries, line throws, medley relays and a simulated emergency response competition.

Surf Life saving NSW media manager Ms Donna Wishart said the events were great for honing the surf rescue skills of its top athletes, who were all volunteer surf lifesavers.

Umina achieved a number of places including fourth in the mixed 14-17 backstroke relay, first in the women's 11-13 4x50 metre obstacle relay and third in the women's 14-17 4x50metre obstacle relay.

Individual achievements included Clare Gaffney second in the women's 11-12 100 metre obstacle race, James Johnson sixth in the men's 11-12 100 metre obstacle race, Indigo Verhoeven fifth in the women's 12-13 100 metre obstacle race and Teigan Miller first in the women's 13-14 200 metre obstacle race and first in the 13-15 50 metre manikin carry.

Event favourite Terrigal Surf Life Saving Club took out the Pool Rescue Championships with a score of 495, followed by Wanda on 361 and Cronulla on 189.

Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club came in 18th place with only one point despite being a favourite after they performed well last year.
