3. This is the first time Stirling and Tim M had competed in Champion Lifesaver. They will be competing at the State Championships in Champion Lifesaver as neither is available for Champion Patrol. There were several training sessions for all competitors 😎.
4. Tim caught Stirling in the Surf Race and almost caught him in the Board Race. The Rescue Tube Race was seeded with 1st seed Josh swimming to the buoy, the 2nd and 3rd seeds (Leesa and Tim M) swimming either side, with the 4th and 5th seeds (Stirling and Tim) outside of them.
