They also received their Royal Life Saving Society Silver Sport medals and certificates, having taken the exam in the last week before the December lockdown.

David said the waiting list for anyone wishing to join the club was short, and subject to maximum numbers allowed by The Wave, he hoped to start a new class soon.
