Internal Club Championships

Aim of the Competition :
To engage all members of our Club in a test of knowledge, skills and sport.
It is open to all members, and each competitor will be competing against his or her peers. At the end, an overall Club champion will be crowned. It will be run over two weeks.

Competition Structure : There are three Zones, "Knowledge" "Skill" and "Sport". There are three events in each zone, one of which is Mandatory. Each competitor has the pick of 1 remaining event from each category, giving a total of 6 events. From these 6 events, the competitor can nominate 1 event as a Trump card which will earn double points. Mandatory events are those skills which are essential for an effective and successful lifeguard.

Age categories : U12, U15, U18, Seniors, Masters (40+) on date of competition

KNOWLEDGE ZONE: "Life Saving Questionnaire", "Observation test", "Life Support Questionnaire"

SKILLS ZONE: "Resuscitation", "Test Ball Throw", "Rope Throw"

Rules : Cheating will not be tolerated (this includes biting, foot stamping, dunking and pulling of hair!). This event is meant to be fun, and in the spirit of fair play; any toys that are thrown out of the pram / pool will have to be collected and apologised for. We reserve the right to amend flexible rules, but only after approval by the Competition Referee. The Competition Referees decision is then final.
