A MORDIALLOC life saver took out a gold medal at a competition last week. Mordialloc Life Saving Club volunteer Lisa Ferguson took part in the Champion Lifesaver events at Jan Juc SLSC on 6 March. The unique event, which is part of the Victorian Lifesaving Championships, sees competitors assessed on their demonstration of CPR, a theory paper, and a physical competition. Ms Ferguson won the gold medal in the open female event with 96 points. She was also the winner of the 30-39 years masters female event with 100 points. The winners in each category at the Champion Lifesaver event will be invited to take part in the Australian Championships on the Gold Coast next month. Life Saving Victoria general manager education, sport and club development, Kate Simpson, said “Champion Lifesaver is a fantastic example of our lifesavers’ dedication to not only their sport, but to constantly develop their skills to bring back to their clubs and communities on patrol, that someday, they might use to save someone’s life.” “We thank Jan Juc SLSC for playing host to the Champion Lifesaver competition, which kicked off our senior Victorian Lifesaving Championships for 2022, that will be continuing at Warrnambool SLSC from 11-13 March,” she said.
