– Devon SLS 2022 Report
Overview
Things now starting to get back to normal with club activities growing. Trustees working well to gather speed in getting the region moving.
Pool Events
Great to be back in the pool following covid. Good pool events in the new pool at Barnstaple. Numbers growing,
Ocean Events
The sports committee decided to have two events Nippers and a second event encompassing all other categories (Open, Youth, Masters). Due to limited dates (and favourable tides) the two events would happen on consecutive days one on south and one on north coast. While this is a lot of commitment from those officiating putting a lot of hours in over a condensed period, it did mean that all Devon events could be covered in one weekend limiting the disruption of two weekends for officials and possibly competitors and parents committed to different categories.
Nippers Devon Champs (Exmouth – 11[th] September)
Competitors – 198 (2019 – 244) down 20% from last event but given the disruption we have had over the last 18mths this is a good sign for the future.
Feedback from all was positive a great introduction on flat water for new participants and for those who had been away from competition for nearly 18mths. Thanks for Exmouth Beach Rescue Club for hosting the event so well and providing boat cover.
Youth, Open and Masters (Saunton – 12[th] September)
Competitors - 40 masters (2019?) / Youth – 78 (2019 104) / Open - 4! (2019 ~20)
The day ran well with the slightly reduced event programme (no double ski, tube rescue, board rescue, swim relay) finishing around 4.00pm. Medals for the youth only were presented.
Flood
Flood team still practice their skills but are yet to be deployed.
