Wondered if there would be a swim

Went to St Bees this morning just to see if anyone would be going for a New Year dip.
It was ROUGH no one was swimming (not surprised) but a group of teenagers were "playing chicken" in the swell.
Hubby gave them a "talking to" about the dangers, weight of water, freak waves, hypothermia etc.
They actually listened gathered up the "hard lads" that were waist deep in the sea; went and got in their cars and left.
If they were local, hope they remember next time they go down there.
