The annual Australian Pool Lifesaving Championships (APLSC) were held at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre this year, from the 18-20 January 2024. The APLSC is renowned for bringing together athletes, volunteers and staff from across the nation for an exciting competition, held both in the water with speed events and out of the water with CPR and simulated emergency response competitions (SERC).


This year, NSW had enough athletes to take both a State Team and Development Team to compete in the APLSC, and managed to achieve yet another podium finish, snagging 3rd place in the Overall Team Point score.



In addition to this fantastic achievement by the NSW team, there were some outstanding individual results across the board from our talented athletes.


Special mention goes to Ryan McNamara, who was named the Men’s U14 Overall Individual Champion, winning 5 individual gold medals. NSW also had 3 athletes claim silver medals in the Overall Individual Championship: Mack Elliott (U16 men), Brayden Woodford (U19 men) and Chelsea Jones (Open women).
