Armbands at the ready!

To raise the profile of Sarah's school a bit (and also because we enjoy it!) we decided to take all of the children swimming last week. Sarah normally has about 15 children at school however on swimming day there were 28! Armed with loads of armbands and lots of other volunteers we set off to the local pool.

When we arrived we asked if anoyone could swim and were surprised when quite a few children put their hands up. After a couple of children had jumped in and been caught by volunteers we realised that being able to swim just meant jumping into the water (preferably in the deep end!).

A brilliant time was had by all and the day ended with 28 very tired, happy children walking back to school (and 7 shattered volunteers heading for the nearest bar!).
