Bio

Jy Timperley’s surf lifesaving career begun at the tender age of 8 at Byron Bay SLSC. He found a love for competing, and so the man affectionately known as The Shrimp decided to become a professional ironman. Timperley had a break from the Iron Series, having last competed in 2021/22 when he finished third overall. In his spare time, Timperley works casually for the Gold Coast City Council, and loves to go fishing, surfing and camping.
