It was a big weekend for our small but mighty Trigg Island SLSC team who travelled to the 2024 Pool Rescue Championships, as part of Surf Lifesaving WA’s Western Suns team.

Trigg Island were represented by 5 members, including City of Perth’s Matthew Colliss, who signed his competition rights to us so he could compete as part of our Open Relay Team.
Our open male relay team retained their national titles in the 200m Obstacle Relay, and 4x50m Medley Relay. In addition to the titles the team also broke their own Australian Record in the 4x50m Medley Relay, with a time of 1:30.01.
Putting on an impressive display, Eleanor Flowers also had a successful weekend, finishing in 3rd place in the 100m Manikin Tow with Fins.

The Trigg Island SLSC team finished in 10th place with a total of 80 points, contributing to the SLSWA Western Suns, who finished overall 4th with a total of 286 points in the interstate event.
