under the current structure and number of fields available to the organizes of the event We II definitely have a lot of people down at all the fields In fact we gel so many that there is not nearly enough parking so we re recommending that players and spectators car pool She slid the irnin concern is peo ple crowding Princess Anne Dnve in front of the hospital With cars parked on both sides of the street it is impossible for to get through As result some get towed ist things seem to go verv well lot of the saint teams coming back like the Jim Dandies from ho in the defending Some teams come from around the irea like Milton and Acton but others are as far awaj as Picker and Midland Ford said the in from distant teams t surprising considering the tourna is the largest of its kind that she is aw are of It the biggest one around Midland has an eight or team one but Id sa were the largest since we allow phjirs who ire not rep or inter members said that from the lines themselves the most attraction is the beer and coolers garden located next to the concession It having our own out there too It should be a really good time especially with sponsonng the by giving us sweatshirts shirts

go near a swimming pool I can help but think about the years I spent lifeguardmg and instructing and the good memories I have from those days Since it is summer numerous trips to the pool have been more frequent and therefore so have the memories I can remember swimming lessons being the only activity my parents had signed me up for that I stuck with There was the piano class and the guitar class neither of which I could stand I regret not learning how to play the guitar now but I disliked the leather from the start and things didn prove from there In one way the guitar ex penence helped me to be a better swimming instructor since I tried to keep my student point of view in mind when I was telling or show ing them how to do something I don want to bore you with my philosophies of teaching but the point I trying to get across is that a job in aquatics can be a very rewarding both for tht a person character irst of ill leirnmg how to swim tan life not to mention someone else s if vou know pro per rescue procedures By the time I was old enough swim well and knew how to rescu people in trouble I realized I could on hose skills to vounger than me a good time doing it btcause the much All life I at the ideal job as being something I could make a living at while the work I have trouble understanding wh some people in jobs don t I sure the monej has a lot to do with it but to a job day after day that is unappealing doesn sit well with me Speaking of money the aqua job pays its workers hack as much as they re willing to put into it The more training a persons takes first aid advanced aquatic rescue courtes specialized diving syn etc the higher tht ir rate of pay is Still with the minimum qualifications a person can make at is much is somebody who works at a fast food restaurant and it so much cleaner I also found that the people I worked with were a pretty good crowd to hang around with In fact I met my best friend while we were training to become instructors at a swimming pool In a society that is now placing a lot of emphasis on health and fitness working in in it is of better ones to work in Working in pools paid m wiv through college gave mt mon a time with ventually I worked m up to inaging a few door pools and teaching some tager students how to become in strutlors Those activities being responsible jobs along with being fun also looked pretty good on a resume I vent looking for a job in the journalism field So for those of you thinking about making some extra money or wondenng about how to get your kids off their allowance tak swimming lessons might be the first step in the right direction I know it was for me Some students taking Bronze ihi work leidirship and rtsponsibililj A of the Indoor Pool practice the proper way of pie ri in planning on putting on sun removing a spinal accident victim from the water screen while they lihuird llu outdoor pool next This rescue is just one of many things a id of flipping our a hot grill lo
