Mike Rabi no finishes his breakfast on his way into Glen Oaks Tennis and Swim Club. When 1 get out of my Corvott at six o'clock in the morning I think of all the kids I'm going to teach. Photo by Miko McMahon No, he's not an every day person, he's Mike Rubino, a swim instructor MAKING A SPLASH magme teaching a child or a thir- ty-five year old adult how to swim. Well Mike Rubino, a senior, teaches swimming to all ages at Glen Oaks Tennis and Swim Club during the summer. Mike re- ceived a swim instructors certifi- cate after taking twenty hours of intensive training on instructing people of all ages how to swim. He also took seven hours of C.P.R. and three months of lifesaving be- fore he was allowed to teach peo- ple to swim. Mike taught mostly pre-school children who are the toughest age group to teach how to swim. The children are divided into groups according to their age and their ability to swim. The first step in getting a child to swim is to get his face wet. This is the most difficult step in teaching someone to swim because it cuts off all of the senses, stated Mike. There are always the kids that just refuse to learn so you have to show them who's the boss and make them want to swim! expressed Mike. Mike taught both public and private lessons. His public classes had about four to six students and there was not the personalized at- tention for each child that Mike would have liked. In his private classes there was only one child per teacher and the child re- ceived much more knowledge about the water. “I like smaller classes because I get to know the kid's better and faster! , Mike said enthusiastically. Donna Evans, his girlfriend, said, Mike is a wonderful teacher and is wonderful with kid's. Mike plans to teach swimming lessons next summer while he attends school at San lose State Universi- ty.
