Fremantle SLSC was very well represented in every discipline at the “Aussies” Surf Life Saving National Championship, recently held on the Sunshine Coast QLD. Over 8100 competitors from 314 surf clubs came together to compete at Maroochydore SLSC, Alexandra Headland SLSC, Mooloolaba SLSC and Coolum SLSC.
Congratulations to our 27 athletes who proudly competed in their blue & yellow caps over 10 days of intense racing, both on the beach and in the huge surf! The team gained invaluable race experience and surf knowledge whilst competing against the best in Australia. The strength, fitness, skills, capabilities and confidence of our athletes were all thoroughly tested due to tough conditions, but Team Freo accepted this challenge with grit and determination. The level of commitment, professionalism, sportsmanship and camaraderie displayed by our athletes and their amazing support crew was absolutely brilliant. We couldn’t be more proud of you all – what a team!
It really was an incredible experience and so much fun to travel with our Freo family. We are already looking forward to Aussies 2025 on the Gold Coast and hope to take an even larger Freo team next year!
THANK YOU to everyone who supported our efforts to attend Aussies, we very much appreciate your assistance and encouragement.
