"It's the showing up that counts." Indeed. Amazing how hard that can be.

Good story that - I can dig and relate in that I joined my local surf club (Bondi) with the idea that I could inspire my youngest son to do Nippers...nowadays I'm a patrol captain, my son is in my patrol having gone through Nippers finishing up as Club Captain and Junior Lifesaver of the Year for our branch! I aimed to just help out and ended up as the Age Manager for his group too. Son has had his Bronze Medallion course delayed, but starts later this month finally!

He was on the Drum during the week. It was interesting to hear about the differences between AU and US parenting. Sounds much better here.
