Pool Rescue Series - WLS Carnival
2023-06-25 11:00 - 16:00 | HBF Stadium, 100 Stephenson Ave, Mount Claremont, Western Australia, 6010, Australia
Pool Rescue competition is a growing sports discipline for Surf Life Saving WA and its clubs. Pool Rescue sees competitors’ aquatic skills tested with events including manikin tows, obstacle swims and tube swims carrying ‘patients’.
It is very important for surf athletes to have pool rescue skills – as well as surf skills – among their credentials in order to be considered for selection in Australian elite surf sports teams.
Pool tournaments also encourage athletes who may feel uncomfortable in the ocean to get involved in the lifesaving movement.
Think you have what it takes? Check out an example of all the action here.
