Herald sports editor You might Ihing thai some one who works to swimming pool would want to relax by gelling away from the pool it not Vic Pool Supervisor for Georgetown He thinks thai best way for him to relax Is to get Into the pool Being involved In pools and lifcguardlng for well over twenty five years has travelled to many pools during his lifetime He is a qualified Instructor and he has his Bronze Cross Most of the training ho re ceived has been from the Working in Toronto at the Central after ho came to Canada from England Vic entered the field of lifesavlng after a buddy of literally enrolled hi In a weekend Red Cross Ins true torn program Vic Is presently a certified Scuba diving instructor and assistant instructor for Ihe National Association Under water Instructors NAUI and now that he works for ihe Recreation he finds scuba diving to be a great way to relax Although he docs net leach lessons Vic is often on the pool deck whllo a lesson Is being taught Helping

swim and then It s trying to get them to the lessons According to most parents don t their as much us of the danger of water Children that come to les sons arc often afraid for the first few days be lieves that the cause Is the slie or both the pool and the build ing Most young children have gone from perhaps the kitchen sink to the bathtub so a pool this size Is bound to frighten also believes that parents should make sure Ihelr can swim and that they learn before the age of seven or eight Once child begins to grow up they become more Inhibited and afraid of ridicule from other younger swimmers Stoddart adds One new area that has helped the older children to learn to swim is Water Club This club was organized to help those child ren who refuse to take lessons They learn just about as much as lessons teach them but atmosphere Is much slacker than that at a lesson Here the children I earn to understand what can be done in the water without endan gcring themselves They can learn to tread water swim above and below the surface learn the basics of water polo and a game calls murder ball a good way to tension Members of the Water Sports Club can also learn aim diving and scuba diving Both of these courses are certificate courses but Ihe Idea behind the course is to simply ac quaint ihe child with the sport After two years at the Georgetown pools Stoddart is pleased the turnout for the most activities of the beginner swim have been full to the extent that extra beginner cour ses are also full But one weak area is public swim time I would like to see more people
