Lifesaving sports are officially back for the summer, with Life Saving Victoria (LSV) athletes hitting the sand and the surf this weekend to compete in beach, board and ski and surf boat disciplines for the first time since COVID-19 paused play.
On Saturday, over 200 board, ski and distance running athletes hit Cosy Corner on the Surf Coast for the 2021 endurance championships, which saw athletes contest long-course board, ski, swimming and running events.
It was the Victorian Surf Rowers League (VSRL) competitors’ time to shine on Sunday, when the sport returned to the surf at Lorne Surf Life Saving Club in their first outing for the season.
