2017 SURF LIFE SAVING NEW SOUTH WALES POOL RESCUE CHAMPIONSHIPS 8 & 9 July Ryde Aquatic Centre

Bulli Surf Life Saving Club showed it is one of the powerhouse clubs in NSW when it comes to Pool Rescue events with some stellar performances last weekend at the NSW Championships held at the Ryde Aquatic Centre. With a very young team of 20 athletes (U12-U17) they swam brilliantly to collect 9 Gold, 7 Silver & 4 Bronze medals in individual & team events. Some of the athletes also finished a very close 4^th on numerous occasions and along with a top six finish collected points for the club. The club place 3^rd overall in the Youth Point-score.

Team Manager Keith Caldwell said, “It was a great weekend for the club with some outstanding swimming from all of our kids, the team events were particularly enjoyable setting athletes for the first time picking up a state medal, kids so proud & of course parents so proud. We really embrace these events at our club because ultimately it makes these kids better lifesavers down the track and it creates a really good team environment. Some standout individuals were Chelsea Jones (U12) 5 Gold 1 Silver & 1 Bronze Holly Holmesby (U13) 5 Gold & 1 Silver, both these young girls dominating their age along with Zara Sharman (U15) collecting 4 Silver & 1 Bronze.”
