                SSOG bro, nice to see you are sharing your experiences here. Good advises!


                My older son completed Gold Star last year, and also all the life saving stages. He was 11 then and now growing fatter... :lol:

                The younger one is just starting to learn to swim in his pyjamas... šŸ˜„ He is 6.

                Are you going for the Ultra in June?
