T08 TimersfG-uards Double role served Split second precision needed 'il don'T wdni To go ini l'm afraid! l wanT my mommy! This was an example of a cry The guards had To deal wiTh while Teaching children, ages 5-43, how To swim in The summer program. 'iWhen The kids were upseT, They needed someone To Take Them aside and comforT Them. ThaT was where l came in. The exTra special aTTenTion was all They wanT- ed, sTaTed Tina Bona, head guard. The guards someTimes had Ten or more screaming kids per guard. Coach Phil Brown, direcTor of The pro- gram, Told The guards To be paTienT, and someTimes iT worked. During The year, mosT guard mem- bers were also Timers, who helped boTh The girls' and boys' swim Teams. WiTh The new rule ThaT There had To be Two Timers per lane or The meei would be forfeiied, The Timers were pressured To be ai every home meei and even To bring friends. Timers needed spliT-second preci- sion because in a close race iT could mean a TenTh of a second difference beiween firsi and second. BuT Timing was noT always a serious maTTer. l'Tim- ing had iTs advanTages such as meei- ing guys from The oTher Teams, and iTs disadvaniages such as geTTing splashed by The swimmers. lf you were going To Time you mighT as well bring a suiT and Take a swim, sTaTed Shane Boelcke, freshman. The change in rules for Timing and The lack of guards made The groups work closely TogeTher and effecTively. Q sly F Q f ui Q . r , -4 V gr .MQW dams.
