Amazing results for WA at 2018 Australian Pool Lifesaving Championships
WA’s team at the Australian Pool Lifesaving Championships has done amazingly well, finishing with another bag of medals on the final day of competition to end the meet in overall third place. As one of the smaller teams competing this is an incredible result!

Our Under 16s won overall gold for their age group and our Under 19s won overall bronze. TJ Chong Sue was also named Male Lifesaver of the meet, while four of our team members were named in Australian Barras representative squads. TJ Chong Sue, Chalise Pratt and Harrison Hynes made the Junior Australian Barras squad, while Jake Smith was named in the Open Australian Barras squad.
