Swimming assistants are involved in many pool activities. Several girls serve as swimming officials at home swim meets, which involve timing, judging, and scoring the events. The girls also serve as hostesses to the visiting team by serving refreshments. Many students, having successfully completed a senior life saving class, serve as life guards at swimming parties and events sponsored by West clubs and organizations. Students with an interest in the teaching aspect of swimming had an opportunity to try their hand at it after completing the Water Safety Aid course instructed by Mrs. Ruth Johnson. They may volunteer to assist during the swimming unit in physical education classes.
