Singe shines in Lifesaving SA Champs
The sixth day of the DHL Lifesaving SA Championships marked a shift in competition focus, as nippers moved into the pool for their first round of pool-based events, while open and junior athletes took to Kings Beach for the next stage of their surf racing. Despite gusty coastal conditions, the day delivered intense racing, standout performances and high club spirit across both venues, setting the tone for a thrilling final stretch in Gqeberha. Building on their strong pool performances earlier in the week, Fish Hoek and Clifton continued to dominate across board, ski and relay events in the surf. Summerstrand and Kings Beach also made their mark in beach relays and rescue races. As the swell picked up through the afternoon, the intensity matched the conditions, with several events seeing photo finishes.
