Williamstown Swimming and Life Saving Club (S&LSC) has been crowned the overall masters state champions for 2023 after a dominant performance at Lorne SLSC.

Lorne SLSC was transformed into a waterway race track as Life Saving Victoria hosted the TRE Motorsport Victorian IRB Championships 2023.

Williamstown joined 17 other clubs from across the state for two days of fast and furious competition, which saw the Hobsons Bay club also finish in third place in the open division.

LSV sport participation general manager Ryan O’Connor congratulated competitors on their efforts in challenging conditions.

“Our IRB racing teams put on an absolute show of skills and perseverance in our state championships events in woolly winter conditions,” he said.

“Lifesavers on patrol never know what kind of conditions they will be faced with, and they took it in their stride to adapt and rise to the challenge.”
