[PARK NEWS] Over the weekend, ten members proudly represented THE PARK in red, white and blue at the Illawarra Branch Championships at Thirroul.

Saturday brought perfect conditions for our eight NIPPERS; Arie, Summer, Betsy, Mila, Nate B, Paige, Max and Noah and everyone gave it their all. Sunday was tougher for our two SENIORS, Nate Heff and Ben but they still delivered great results.

We were proud to see BRONTE and NOAH named finalists in the Illawarra Junior Lifesavers of the Year. Congrats to Bulli’s BIanca and Taj, this year’s JLOTY winners.

It was a standout weekend, with the team bringing home 15 individual medals.

Congratulations:
