Papamoa Defends Eastern Region Pool Rescue Title!
What an incredible weekend at Kiwa Pools in Gisborne! Our 60+ strong team of juniors, seniors, and masters came together with passion, teamwork, and determination to defend our title — and they absolutely smashed it.
It was awesome to see so many first-time competitors giving pool rescue a go and loving it! Huge congratulations to all our age group medalists ??? (see below), and a massive thank you to our officials, age group managers, timekeepers, and volunteers who made the event run so smoothly
Training continues as we head into the final stretch before Pool Rescue Nationals in Auckland — let’s finish the season strong!
