Midway’s Chris Dawson has been named in the Surf Life Saving New Zealand team for the International German Cup in Warendorf from November 23 to 25.
Dawson, from Dawson Building Midway, joins seven other athletes and a support team for the event.
The International German Cup is an annual pool rescue competition.
“It serves as a platform to test the skills and expertise of surf lifeguards in preparation for the 2024 Lifesaving World Championships,” Surf Life Saving NZ high performance sport manager Tanya Hamilton said.
Athletes will compete in events that include swimming under floating obstacles, rescuing manikins off the bottom of the pool and line-throwing.
