13 promising young lifesavers from the Ayr Surf Life Saving Club are heading south for the 2025 Queensland Youth Surf Life Saving Championships on the Gold Coast.
The Championships, which includes clubs from all across Queensland, are scheduled to take place at Tugun from Thursday 13th to Sunday 16th of March, with four action packed days of water, beach and lifesaving events.
This cohort of 13 nippers is one of the biggest groups to head to State Titles as part of the North Barrier Branch Youth Team, and includes: Isla Chapman, Bella Lawry, Zachary Dale, Briella Wassmuth, Cole Pontifex, Milla Chapman, Emma Jones, Emilee Wassmuth, Charlotte Lawry, Mia Wicks, Luca Lawry, Charlotte Dale and Taylor Chapman.
To be selected in the NBB Youth Team members have to compete at regular Branch Carnivals including Branch Championships and the North Australian Championships, which were all held at the end of 2024, and qualify against other members from all clubs across the Branch.
This year the Branch team consists of 77 youth members from across the North Barrier (clubs from Forrest Beach, Arcadian, Townsville-Picnic Bay, Ayr, Eimeo, Mackay and Sarina).
All members have continued a vigorous training program since being selected at Branch Championships in December and are ready and raring to give it their absolute all over the upcoming Championships.
