Sidmouth Surf Lifesaving Club makes a splash for the end of their season.
Following a Covid-hit summer, Sidmouth surf life savers ended the outdoor season with a competition between their members.
With the coronavirus pandemic calling a halt to a lot of their activities planned for earlier in the year, Sidmouth Surf Lifesaving Club managed just six weeks of surf lifesaving activity.
However, they finished their competition squad Wednesday night training with an informal club championship.
They were sorted into age group bubbles and competed in board and swim races on a beautiful warm evening.
