The Story of
Seadragonz
![Page 2: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
It all started with a seed sown
by Paul Sadler of Paul Sadler
Swimland in Victoria, who
asked Lari why she was
wasting her time working for
someone else who would not
appreciate nor reward her
talents. Lari had never
considered the thought of her
own swim school.
![Page 3: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
After a lot of thought
Lari realised Paul was
right and made the
decision to jump off the
cliff and see what it felt
like. It was scary and
exhilarating and Lari
spent hours excited and
thinking ‘oh my gosh,
what have I done’.
![Page 4: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Being the first purpose built
swim school in Western
Australia we climbed over many
speed humps and fell into a lot
of pot holes.
![Page 5: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
At last, after
kerthumping
over speed
humps and
into potholes
we finally
broke ground.
![Page 6: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

![Page 8: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
And so we got this
far and that was
all for months
![Page 9: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The grandchildren found an awesome new
playground
![Page 10: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The roof structure arrives
![Page 11: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And in the meantime the weeds made a
new home
![Page 12: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
One of the
speed
humps was
the required
over-
engineering
of the roof.
We were
required to
make this
cyclone
proof to
228kph.
Yes, we
know that
happens
frequently in
Perth.
Fact: In
1974
Cyclone
Tracy
knocked
over Darwin
with 217kph
winds.

Each pole sits in a 44 gallon drum of solid
concrete.
![Page 14: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

The baby eucalypts joined the weeds
in their new home.
![Page 16: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The tiger snake also thought he had found
a new home.
![Page 17: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Furiously working men making the perfect floor
slopes. They were threatened with drowning if
there was puddling water.

Decision makers
![Page 21: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Roof top
construction

And we work
until the job is
done!

Pool completion
begins

Vinyl liner is completed welded to the
concrete

Water would
be good
And the
grandchildren
waited
![Page 38: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Water at last
![Page 40: The Birth of Seadragonz](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a1eac81a28ab6f358b47e1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The dogs
watched the
final stages
possibly
pondering that
their regular
ball throwers
and playmates
(the
construction
crew) would be
around no
longer.
