Port Elliot surf lifesavers perform well
Normanville hosted the fourth Junior Surf Lifesaving Carnival for the season on Sunday, February 21, with clubs from across South Australia taking part.
The flags and sprint events were qualifying events for the state titles which will be held in Seacliff next month.
The distance run was also a state title event with medals presented on the day.
In addition there were a range of other carnival events for the juniors to showcase their skills in board paddling, swimming and wading.
Port Elliot Surf Lifesaving Club sent more than 35 competitors who competed in at least five events each over the day.
