Out of little bearcubs grow mighty water bears According to Todd Grant, U.A. guard advisor and swim coach, the backbone of the swimming organization is the U.A guard He says that when a youngster receives better instruction the child will consequently enjoy swimming lessons more and will become more interested in the swim program in Upper Arlington. The guard began twelve years ago when the pool was built. High school students volunteered to teach swimming lessons to community children and to life guard at family swims. Until last year, the U.A. guard was a non-paying organization but now the participating guards receive a small wage for their services. The swimming lessons arc taught on Saturday mornings from 9:00 am-12 noon; therefore a guard may teach from one to all three hours. The swim classes consist of the beginning to intermediate swimmers. A basic diving class is taught during these sessions while an advanced diving class is taught on Sundays. Family swims are also available on Sunday afternoons.
