The early mornings always seem fine by the swimmers.
It's the parents that have the problems.
As always at Dartes, once one embarrassing photo arrives, many more follow, so in the end we just had to devote a page to our sleepy parents.

Helen Wages War
And so it continued.
 
Morning after morning, day after day, while the rest of the world slept.
 
The adults got on with their swimming, the kids entertained themselves and played with their cameras on the pool side.

We're not entirely sure who this one is. Good opportunity for a guess who then.
 
Identify the sleeping parent and you win a pair of hand paddles!

Game Over!
