Join us in supporting Megan Healey’s Big Bucket List.  Megan has MS and would like to challenge herself to do some fun things and also promote and raise funds for MS to make it better for others.

Megan has recently completed a practice swim for the “Big Swim” which will be held on 25^th January. This was the first time she had been in the surf for 3 years. The swim challenge is from Palm Beach to Whale Beach, a distance of 2.5km. There is also a “Little Big Swim” for the kids which is a distance of 1km.  Megan will be supported by a team of Umina members who will be either on boards, IRB’s or in the water with her doing a swim tow.

Welcome back and congratulations to two of our members, Claire Gaffney and Jemma Smith, who recently competed as part of the SLSCC Representative Team in the biannual Trans-Tasman Tri Series last week against Northern Region New Zealand and NSW Country in the South Coast of NSW.  The team finished a narrow second behind the NSW Country Team.  This has been an important development opportunity for Claire and Jemma and we are very proud of their amazing efforts and achievements.  For further information and results visit http://www.surflifesaving.com.au/members/surfsports/events/trans-tasman-tri-series
