It would have been so frightening to think you were going to die. Good for them to reward the bravery of those who went to save them and to donate to the Club to try and prevent similar instances happening in future.
I shudder to think of what it must have been like to be out of your depth and not able to swim. It’s also interesting to note that Meta and Edel’s younger cousins my grandparents became heavily involved in Royal Life Saving South Australia. Thanks for you comment Alex.
