► The Australian Surf Life Saving Championships (2 to 10 April 2011)
The Australian Surf Life Saving Championships, or commonly known as Aussies, is being held at Kurrawa on the Gold Coast from 2 to 10 April 2011. South Melbourne Life Saving Club has a number of teams attending the championships, one of which is the Under 17 Patrol Competition Team. The Patrol Competition is a team based event comprising of 4 members. They undertake a number of tasks including: a theory paper, surf (swim) team’s race, swims - tube - board rescue relay, resuscitation test and a practical scenario. The scenario is set up as a patrol situation where the team may need to undertake a number of rescues and first aids in a time of 10 minutes.
The team made up of; Mary Veal (parent and team support) Lucy O'Brien, Patrena Staff, Ashley Munday and Chris Veal came 4th overall, narrowly missing out on 3rd place by a mere 6 points. This team won the Victorian State event with team member Jazmine Elomolla, who unfortunately had to withdraw from the team after breaking her arm, which is when Lucy O'Brien stepped in to help the team.
A fantastic achievement by all. Over the rest of the championships, South Melbourne has their Under 15 First Aid Team competing, who also won the state championships, Open First Aid Team who won the state championships and our Under 17 R & R (Rescue & Resuscitation) Team who came 2nd at the state championships.
