South Port SLSC Results – SA State Championships 26-28 March 2021 South Port Surf Life Saving Club hosted the 2021 State Championships and also had a team of five Boat Crews, two March Past Teams and 20 Beach and Ocean athletes. The club finished eighth overall – an amazing effort from a small team compared to the bigger Metropolitan clubs.
