Sounds rather fancy doesn’t it! \u00c2\u00a0The championship was held this weekend past and was the last Nippers meet for the season. \u00c2\u00a0It was a cold, blustery day. \u00c2\u00a0Scarlett was none too impressed about having to go. \u00c2\u00a0Of course once she was there, it was all good. \u00c2\u00a0The kids completed in their age groups. \u00c2\u00a0Scarlett’s age group competed in a flag race, run\/wade\/run race and a board race.<\/p>\n

The water was really choppy and the current was running parellel to the beach, so the younger ones had a hard time going out into the bay in the board race. \u00c2\u00a0They got around the buoys eventually and back onto the sand. \u00c2\u00a0Scarlett and the girl next to her kept bumping into each other, sending each other off course. \u00c2\u00a0It was kind of funny to watch. \u00c2\u00a0 She almost placed in the flag race, but of course the boys were all about winning at all costs and she was shoved out of the way. \u00c2\u00a0Oh well, I have a great action shot of her diving for the flag in the previous heat.<\/p>\n

We finished up the day with a sausage sizzle and we went back to a friends place for a catch up we had been planning all season, only too us 6 months to organise! \u00c2\u00a0It has been fun and a great excuse to get to the beach every week. \u00c2\u00a0We are hoping Scarlett and Tenneille will continue next year.
\nNippers is a great way of introducing your children to water safety while having lots of fun at the same time. \u00c2\u00a0It is very family orientated, which is why we joined Scarlett up. \u00c2\u00a0Here<\/a> is a link to check out if you’re interested in finding out more.<\/p>\n
