Three Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong pool lifesavers will be part of the Victorian state team in the upcoming Australian Pool Lifesaving Championships.

Altona Life Saving Club member Heath Corry and Williamstown Swimming & Life Saving Club members Brydie Logan and Tom Frisby will join the 29 other athletes at the championship in Sydney from Saturday, June 11 to Sunday, June 13.

Life Saving Victoria aquatic sport director Aaron Green congratulated the athletes selected for the Victorian pool lifesaving state and development teams

“Pool lifesaving has faced two years of interruptions due to COVID-19 restrictions, so I am extremely excited that for the first time since 2019, athletes from around Australia will be able to come together and compete for an Australian pool lifesaving title,” he said.

“Not only are our pool lifesavers top athletes, they are demonstrating valuable rescue skills that they might, and some of our athletes already have, used to save someone’s life.”
