This takes us back memories cherished forever this was a ritual that we did at the end of every Monday and Thursday session. We went round the pool playing out to The Seekers song Morningtown Ride before we got out of the pool.

It was fun night before we broke off for Easter last night in the earlier session and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

In the later session was a massive milestone for Bret who did wonderful independent kicking on his back! Well done Bret. ๐Ÿ‘
