WA_2016_002_01_03_035_02: "Many rainbows: I loved to sail at the end of the day. There is no lifeguard at Rainbow and so I obtained my lifeguard certificate at the Meadow Park Centre & each year we ran 'mock' rescues with our kids camp kids & us instructor[s] and staff. Constant head counts. Find the missing children."
