🏊‍♀️💙 From Nippers to Champions – What a Season! 💙🏊‍♂️

What an incredible journey it’s been for our Port Melbourne pool comp team this season! In just our second year, we’ve grown from 3 to 7 enthusiastic young competitors — and every single one of them started their lifesaving journey as Nippers. 🧡

It’s been so rewarding to watch them build their skills, grow in confidence, and support each other in and out of the pool. They’ve represented our club with pride, shown amazing sportsmanship, and had a whole lot of fun along the way!

A massive thank you to:
👨‍🏫 Nick – our brilliant comp director for his leadership and passion
🙌 Jo – for always being there with guidance and support
🟠 Andrew, Marianne, and Katherine – congratulations on stepping up as officials this season! Your contribution has helped make these events run smoothly and successfully

💬 To our amazing kids – you’ve been a dream to work with, and we’ve even heard how polite and respectful you were in marshalling!
🙏 To the families – thank you for giving your time, energy, and unwavering support on training and competition days.

We’ve all learnt so much and can’t wait to come back even stronger in 2026! 💪
