Over the past two weeks we have seen some great efforts in the under 9 age group.
We had 10 children complete their first Ocean Timed Swim last Saturday in choppy conditions and have had an additional 11 complete their survival float and 25m evaluation swim.
With another nice weekend forecast we will definitely see more kids complete their swim.
A special mention to TJ who did 2 Ocean Timed Swims on Saturday and was wanting to do more.
Excellent effort by all of the kids for having a go at these testing activities.
Coach Brad
