Junior Lifeguards

Today I got to combine business with pleasure: I got to take group and individual pictures at Junior Lifeguards. Our kids are in week 5 right now, with one more week to go. It's been amazing to watch all the kids learn to love the ocean. Leo has a shore break, I'm very hesitant to go in on a big day, and these kids have all the skills now to handle it. They are learning a TON of other things, too. The lifeguards and assistants are wonderful, great role models! Can't praise them enough. While I was shooting individual pictures of one group, another group was doing a buoy swim. They got hit by a set of big waves (outsiders) when they tried to come back in. It was thrilling to watch the lifeguards literally dive into action, in case somebody needed assistance. Almost no one did, and everyone got to shore just fine. I'll post some more pictures soon.
