Perfect Day

The beach was awesome. Very light wind, with some mist and flat, flat, flat surf.
Some of the nippers had to go to the pool to do their pool swims for their exam. The following all nippers all passed and now qualify to their next exam:
Nicholas, Janna, Dianne and Aaron.
We are so proud of all the nippers who had to do a swim. Dean and Caitlin were lucky as they remain in the same age-group this year and did not have to swim.
Then it was back to the beach for some board relays and run-swim-run's. The water was freezing. But that doesn't stop our nippers, they gave it horns! I think that Shaun, who is 7, gave all the older kids a big fright when he showed them how it was done. He was comming out ahead of the, and even catching them during board relays. What a champ!?!
Our "special needs" kids, as they like to refer to themselves, did not exactly work very hard. In fact, they found kicking sand tired them out so much that they could hardly keep up with the others. The "special needs" ring-leader, Dianne, really seems to have latched onto this "special needs" phrase. T-shirt slogan... hmmmm?
