Updated Lifesaving World Championships Squad Announcement

Dear Members of Lifesaving SA,

With reference to Circular 59/26, please find below the updated Lifesaving World Championships Squad from which the team will be selected.

Only athletes who are eligible to represent South Africa have been included in these squads. In addition, the squads and qualifying criteria, including swim times, have been aligned with the World age-group categorisation standards. This means that athletes turning 19 during the current year have been assessed against the Senior qualifying standards for selection into these squads.
