To enable us to teach our children at our local pool, the staff there request we undertake an annual "Splash Test".
This entails a briefing of safety drills and procedures (where the emergency buttons are, what to do when we hear one, two or three blasts on the whistle etc) and some water skills. Wearing t-shirt and shorts (as we would whilst teaching) we are expected to enter the pool and swim 10 metres. We are then to fetch a dummy off the bottom of the pool at a depth we are comfortable of and get it to the side of the pool without ourselves drowning.
Obviously (to those who know me), I fetched the dummy from the bottom of the deep end.
My ears seem fine (well, no worse!). I know regular viewers (!) were holding their collective breaths!
Today's question: will I be able to hear when the children return to school on Thursday?
