Eastern suburbs lifesavers shine at junior state titles

Kristie LimEastern Reporter

TWO junior lifesavers from the eastern suburbs took out first place at the Royal Life Saving Society WA (RLSSWA) Junior Lifeguard Club State Titles held at HBF Stadium last month.

The annual state titles are designed to test the pool lifesaving skills that children have learnt at their respective clubs throughout the year.

The events included the 50m obstacle race, 50m manikin carry, rescue tube relay and 10m rope throw relay.
