Junior Victorian Lifesaving Championships Warrnambool

Our state’s youngest surf lifesavers are heading to Warrnambool this long weekend to compete in the 2016 Victorian Junior Lifesaving Championships.

More than 1500 nippers from more than 30 Victorian surf lifesaving clubs will be competing for a medal at the prestigious two-day event.

The athletes will participate in races including beach flags, beach sprints, board race, surf race and the boys and girls iron event.

Life Saving Victoria’s Luke Gavin said more than 2000 spectators are also expected to descend on the beach.

``Our nippers have been training hard for this year’s championships which mark the end of a fantastic season of junior competition,’’ Mr Gavin said.

``It’s been a terrific season with great competition and sportsmanship and this weekend sees the clubs battle it out for the top prize.’’

LSV’s nippers program is designed to introduce lifesaving skills in a fun environment and gives participants the opportunity to develop their skills, make friends, be active and enjoy the beach.
