Under the guidance of Mrs. Charleen Colvin and Mr. Gary Cotton, the advanced swim class improved their strokes for the advanced swimmer's badge during the first semester, and during the second semester worked for their senior lifesaving badge. Among some of the skills necessary for lifesaving are the following: ap- proaching the victim properly, breaking holds, and handling a struggling victim. Mr. Gary Cotton instructed the water safety class this year. Class members reviewed the lifesaving strokes learned in advanced swim, learned basic sur- vival and advanced survival swimming, and earned a water safety aide certificate. Students who have earned their lifesaving badge could, on their own time, become voluntary lifeguards in the Mitchell pool during open swim. Advanced Swimmers Ea KAREN LAVEIRGE WATCHES attentively over swimmers while lifes guarding during a free swim period in the Mitchell pool. ,' :Z . .
