The 15-year-old picked up three medals - two silver and one bronze - at the Victorian Pool Lifesaving Championships in Shepparton on the weekend. She has been involved in surf lifesaving locally for the past five years, but decided to take up the pool version of the sport earlier this year.

"I've been practising pretty hard for the last few months for the championships, so the pressure's off now," she said.

"Going from surf lifesaving to pool lifesaving has been a change for sure, but it's like any new sport. If you practise hard enough you can get the hang of it eventually.

"Especially with the mannequins, it takes a lot of practice.

"Holding it in the right position, keeping its head above water while swimming is pretty difficult," she said.

Chloe claimed second place in both the 200-metre super lifesaver event and the 100-metre tow at the championships and also clinched third place in the 50 pick-up event.

Competitors had to carry a life-sized mannequin weighing 65 kilograms for all three events.

"Even though I was the only competitor from Warrnambool, you become friends with people from all the other clubs," she said.

"In surf lifesaving, it's a lot more club versus club."

The King's College year 10 student won a $700 future champions fund from Elmore Oil in August this year to go towards her pool lifesaving training which takes her down to Melbourne every Sunday.

Chloe and 15-year-old Amelia Karras swam into the history books last year as part of the youngest all-female international team to conquer the English Channel.

The girls overcame thick seaweed and thunderstorms that threatened to halt their attempt just hours from the French coast.
