Tad "Flipper" McCaffrey

Tad "Flipper" McCaffrey , more commonly called Flipper, is a fun guy who is one of the potential residents that can move into your town. He's the owner and life guard of his pool.

Profile
As a young boy, Tad "Flipper" McCaffrey idolized TV's teenage superhero Hydro-Lad. Little Tad would run all over the place in his swimsuit and water wings screaming Hydro-Lad's famous catch phrase: "Time to Hydrate Evil!" He dreamed of a heroic life saving Sims and fighting evil on the great oceans of the world, and now he runs the local pool! Try to forgive him if he seems to take his job a little too seriously!

Trivia

 * Tad "Flipper" McCaffrey is one of the 6 exclusive new characters in MySims (PC).
 * Tad "Flipper" McCaffrey was supposed to be in MySims Agents (since a dialogue icon was made for him) but was removed for some reason. However, you can be rewarded his outfit. Some fans assume that maybe Flipper was once the lifeguard at the Boardwalk during the making of the game, but got replaced by Summer, the lifeguard at the Boardwalk in the final game. Almost as support of the theory, both their uniforms have a white cross on them near the bottom of the suit (however, please note this was not officially confirmed, and is only assumed by fans).
