🏊‍♀️ Congratulations to our incredible Pool Rescue Team! 🏊‍♂️

A huge congratulations to everyone who represented Aldinga Bay SLSC at the 2026 Pool Rescue State Championships last weekend.

From our first-time competitors who stepped up and gave it their all, to our youth athletes achieving outstanding personal bests, and our experienced competitors earning podium finishes despite limited pool training, every one of you should be incredibly proud.

A special mention goes to our many 4th place finishes. While just outside the medals, each of those performances earned valuable points for Aldinga, helping our club finish with a very respectable 69 points overall.

🎉 Congratulations to all of our medallists:

🥇 Claire Neylon – State Champion, Women’s 30–39 50m Fins
🥈 Kate – Women’s 100m Manikin Tow with Fins
🥉 Kate – Women’s 100m Manikin Carry with Fins
🥉 Tom Barnes – Men’s 30–39 100m Manikin Tow with Fins
🥈 Tom Barnes & Nathan Amos– Composite Masters Men’s 4×50m Obstacle Relay
🥈 Tom Barnes – Composite Masters Men’s 4×25m Manikin Carry Relay

Behind every successful team is an incredible group of volunteers.

💙 A heartfelt thank you to Sophie and Dan for everything you do before, during and after every competition. We simply couldn’t do it without you.

💙 Thank you to Paul and Anna for volunteering as timekeepers throughout the championships. Your contribution was invaluable and helped make the event possible.

💙 And finally, thank you to Tom for your dedication, coaching and the countless hours you’ve invested in preparing our athletes. Your passion has helped create an environment where competitors can grow, achieve personal bests and enjoy the journey.

We are incredibly proud of every athlete, official and volunteer who represented Aldinga Bay SLSC this weekend.

Bring on Nationals! 💙💛🌊

What a special day! ❤️🇩🇪

Today Dan and I had the chance to visit Leni in her hometown here in Germany.

Leni joined Aldinga Bay SLSC last year while on exchange in Australia. During her time with us she earned her Bronze Medallion, became part of the patrol team, and joined our wonderful rowing team.

It was so wonderful to catch up again and personally hand-deliver her Bronze Medallion and certificate. 🌏🏅

Leni, thank you for being such a valued part of our club family. We can’t wait to see you again soon!

From Aldinga to Germany – once part of the ABSLSC family, always part of the family.

Bis bald! ❤️💛
