Pool rescue — Bondi win the NSW masters championships
In April, Team Bondi competed at the NSW Pool Lifesaving Championships held at the Murray Rose Aquatic & Fitness Centre at Cranbrook School.
This year’s event was a joint delivery between Surf Life Saving NSW and Royal Life Saving. Pool rescue events are based around speed and the ability to use that speed in lifesaving scenarios, with obstacles and weighted manakins in place of real-life patients.
Our masters team exceeded expectations and collected a heap of medals. Congratulations to Julie Pritchard, Robyn Hill, Nixy Krite, Tony Gordon, Nathan Defries, Laura Manuel, Maddi Beale and Chloe McCardel who took a crash course and competed for the first time.
In fact, our team of 13 competitors brought home 10 gold, 14 silver and 16 bronze medals!
Congratulations to Jana Kowalski for bringing home 5 medals in the Under 15 age group including a gold in the 50m freestyle
