2010 Australian Pool Rescue Championships

BMD Northcliffe Surf Club took out the overall pointscore at the recent Australian Pool Rescue Championships held in Melbourne on 5 & 6 June, 2010.

Impressive performances from Dev Lahey, Kristyl Smith, Elizabeth Pluimers and young guns Lachlan Feather and Jordan Harrison helped seal the unexpected victory with only a small team travelling down to Melbourne for the event.

Congratulations to all of our members who braved the cold of an outdoor pool in Melbourne in June!
