of fitness folks an opportunity to participate in this great activity.
You’ve Got Skills
Erin Sullivan is heading up a super project in conjunction
with the Kroc Center and she is looking for a few volunteers. The project is Adult Swim Lessons. Yes,
you do have the skill set to help with these lessons! These lessons are meant for the true beginner wanting to
learn how to swim. Your comfort in the water and ability to swim make you a great candidate to help someone. Only
two lessons are offered – 6-7 pm on Friday April 10 and Friday April 17. Contact Erin at <erinswim@cox.net> if you can help. This is a great project to get your feet wet! J
