SURF LIFESAVING
Mackay SLSC just competed in the State Endurance Championships hosted at Alexandra Headlands SLSC on the Sunshine Coast. The team finished an impressive 8th out of 36 clubs from around Australia, out classing some of its rival super clubs like Surfers Paradise, Coolangatta and Northcliffe just to name a few.
The team of 16 travelled to the Sunshine Coast as part of a NQBP sponsored Youth Development Camp hosted at Dicky Beach SLSC. Events ranged from a 2km swim, 4km beach run, 6km board paddle and 6km ski paddle, which certainly tested Mackay’s best surf lifesavers.
“The club is extremely proud of our lifesavers achievements," Said Mr Grant, Director of Surf Sports.
"We have been preparing for this for a number of months now and to see our club take on the best in Australia and achieve at such a high level is something really special.”
“This has been a great experience for all our competitors and it's really good preparation for regional Qld’s biggest surf sports event - the North Australian Titles to be hosted at Harbour Beach, Mackay from the 31st Oct – 2nd November.”
The club took out 1 x Gold Medal, 4 x Silver Medals and 4 x Bronze medals as well as other minor places.
