The 2025 NSW State Pool Lifesaving Championships, held on June 21–22 at Cranbrook School Swimming Pool, delivered two dynamic days of racing, sportsmanship and camaraderie. The event showcased the incredible depth of pool lifesaving talent emerging across New South Wales, with impressive performances across all ages and abilities.
The tight competition in the individual events was unmatched, and the club relays were a real highlight! Every team gave it their all, throwing themselves into the action while crowds cheered on from the grandstand, setting a new benchmark for the State Champuionship event. From first-time competitors learning the ropes, to a number of Australian athletes using the event as a warm-up for the upcoming Commonwealth Championships in Wales, the competition was a powerful display of how far the sport has come—and the exciting direction it's heading!
We also had the unique honour of welcoming a competitor from the Canadian National Team, adding an exciting international touch to the competition.
