Besides promoting swimming by posters and announcements during the swimming season, they assisted all swim meets held at West along with par- ticipating in them and guarding the swimming func- tions put on by the various clubs at West. In addi- tion to this, Guard members gave Saturday morning swimming lessons to area youngsters. At the AAU Swim Meet fthe Regional Indoors Women's Swim Meetj the girls of the Swim Guard served refresh- ments at the meet to raise money toward the pur- chasing of an emblem for the swimming pool, while the boys acted as timers and judges. The Swim Guard was also host to visiting swimmers in all the swim meets at West during the year. Besides acting as a host and serving the commu- nity, the Swim Guard offered many opportunities for all its members to obtain jobs as life guards at area pools in the summer.
