REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS
In addition to traveling around Australia and abroad, selection to a representative team provides athletes with development and leadership opportunities in and out of the pool including access to high performance coaches and athletes, mentoring, national and international competition and touring, training and development camps, and depending on the level of representation access to individual sporting grants and funding.
To be eligible for representative teams, athletes must be a member of Royal Life Saving or Surf Life Saving, hold a current lifesaving award, and attend selection events that may include state or national championships, time trials or selection camps.
Supported by Sport Australia (SA) and in partnership with Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA), the Australian Lifesaving Team (ALT) is the High Performance pathway for lifesaving sport in Australia. The Australian Lifesaving Team is comprised of three squads - Youth, Pathway and Open, with top performing athletes in each discipline (pool, open water/craft and beach) selected to contest the biennial World Lifesaving Championships and other national team competitions within the two-year Lifesaving World Championship campaign.
