Amazing! Jing Lee, MLC (South Australia)

HEALTH & WELLBEING
What an inspiring story to share this morning!

For octogenarian, Robert Watkins who took to the ocean this week as part of the Australian Life Saving championships, the fact he was competing was impressive in itself.

At 81, he is the oldest competitor at this year’s event! As he’s the only competitor in the over 80s category.

Congratulations to Mr Watkins who took home a bronze medal at the event!

“It’s very satisfying for me because I have had pancreatic cancer for two years, and I got weaker and weaker. To come back… it was really good,” he told the Surf Life Saving Australia website.

Mr Watkins admitted competing felt “a bit brutal” and that he had to work harder than usual. He backed up on Tuesday to compete alongside his son in the surf swim teams in the competition’s Masters section.

Mr Watkins said the sport was about more than just fitness.

“I enjoy catching up with people you’ve known for years, it’s just a fantastic environment,” he said.

"The surf movement of all things is a sport that requires team effort, camaraderie it’s just a great sport.”

Mr Watkins encouraged others to get involved in surf life saving.

“Surf Club offers something for everyone, being in a team, being in first aid, flying a drone… there is something for everyone,” he said.
