SURF SPORTS
Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club would like to extend a huge thank you to Coach Renan and the Peel Aquatic senior squad for fostering an inclusive and fun opportunity for clubs across the Peel Region to connect. Our Youth and Nipper members wrapped up club swimming training this month, but we encourage everyone to keep swimming throughout the cooler months. Regular swimming is essential for Surf Sports athletes, nippers, and future lifesavers.
That’s a wrap! Our club swim training WIND UP madness was a great success. Thank you to Claire for generously volunteering her time as coach and to all the amazing volunteers who keep these sessions running. The feedback has been incredible, with so many nippers eager to continue swimming because they loved training with Claire’s group. Until next season… just keep swimming.
