On the Wednesday Ally (SNZ Nat Ed Mgr) and I flew from Nadi to Suva to run a coach certification course for special needs swimmers. In the morning we had hearing impaired swimmers and in the afternoon some partially sighted swimmers. The hearing impaired kids included one with half a leg also but he was totally agile and had to be told off for
'running on the poolside'! We had a big rainfall while these kids were in the pool but it was warm rain so it didn't matter and, in any case, you only feel wet when you're out of the water! Not that I was in the water; I was the official photographer.
The visually impaired kids were great. The girl with Sideshow Bob hair was about 6'3" tall and a stick insect while the guy covered in freckles was albino. No doubt he will have major skin cancer problems later but he was a happy chappie that day.
