Many of us can still recall the delight of enjoying the water through childhood, including the ‘rite of passage’ of learning how to swim. For some, the ‘sink or swim’ method was the only available option. Thankfully, since 1946, Red Cross swimming lessons have been a popular choice for many Canadian children. Beyond being fun, learning to swim can have a profound impact on the well being of our children and the health of our community - the life skills learned may

just save a life. How many of you still recall your favourite swimming badge, your best swimming instructor, or the day you finally achieved your Bronze Medallion? As you venture out to enjoy the water this season we encourage you to always take a moment to ensure you are prepared to have a fun and safe experience. Be a positive role model and champion of water safety: always wear a lifejacket when boating, inspect the beach and water conditions before swimming, ensure your backyard pool is properly fenced and equipped with safety equipment, don’t mix alcohol with swimming. Swimming is a great fitness activity – one that people can enjoy for a lifetime.

Get out and enjoy our great outdoors!

Deanne Pierson Deanne has been working in the aquatics department since 1986. She has fond memories of lifeguarding on hot, sunny Kamloops days at Pioneer Park beach and the old Centennial Pool in Riverside Park. And when Deanne wasn’t outdoors guarding, she especially loved teaching toddlers to swim. This passion came in handy when, as a self-proclaimed ‘lifeguard mom’, Deanne helped her own five children develop a love and respect for the water through safe water play. Mom’s #1 rule at her backyard pool is “to always swim with an adult and never alone”. From babies to seniors, from teaching first aid to organizing special events, it is the day-to-day moments of making a difference for our awesome pool patrons that gives Deanne the most job satisfaction today … and for over twenty-five years and counting.

Aquatics

Backyard Pool Safety Is there anything more refreshing than a dip in a pool on a hot Kamloops day? Many people in Kamloops have invested in a backyard pool for ‘cool’ summer entertainment. And as fun as they are, backyard pools can be dangerous. Tragically, most drowning and injuries in backyard pools involve children and young adults. Statistics show that children who drown typically gain easy access to the pool or were left unsupervised; whereas young adults suffer serious spinal injuries from diving into water less than 1.5 metres (5 ft.) in depth. To avoid tragic accidents please remember these simple guidelines courtesy of the Red Cross: • Tell visitors the pool rules • Always supervise pool activity • Use personal flotation devices (PFD’s) – not toys – for support • Encourage feet first entries • Never dive into an above ground pool • Keep safety equipment nearby • Alcohol and pools don’t mix Good fences are just as important as pool rules – preventing access to your pool could save a life. Check that your fence meets the municipal requirement for height and safety. Visit kamloops.ca/swim for more backyard safety tips, including a backyard pool safety checklist courtesy of the Lifesaving Society, as well as details on City of Kamloops bylaws pertaining to backyard pools. Whether it’s in your backyard or beyond, we hope that you enjoy a summer full of safe swimming experiences! 12

A healthy life through swimming. 10-level program for children 5 to 14 years of age

10-level program for children age 6 years and up

Swimmers receive an orientation to water and the pool area and work on floats, glides and kicking. Swimmers build their endurance by working on the 5m front swim.

The 10 levels allow for solid progression. Children learn competitive and survival strokes and build their distance and speed, while focusing on making safe decisions in, on and around the water. In each level, participants are evaluated based on performance criteria and progress to the next level once all criteria have been successfully completed.

Introduction to diving, and teaches swimmers how to make wise choices about where and when to swim. Endurance is achieved by building strength in the flutter kick and a 15-metre swim. Introduction to front crawl (10m) and back swim with shoulder roll (15m). Swimmers work on kneeling dives, surface support (45 seconds, deep water) and developing a greater sense of self-safety by understanding their own limits. Endurance is built through a 25m swim.

Aquatics

Help your child develop a healthy lifestyle through swimming. Your child will learn to swim and stay safe in a fun environment that promotes a personal best and celebrates individual success.

Swimmers work on propulsion skills to move through the water and to remain at the surface. Swimmers work on the front swim (5m) and learn about deep-water activities and proper use of a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). Fitness activities include the 10m flutter kick and a 10m distance swim.

Introduction to back crawl (15m), sculling skills, whip kick on the back, stride dives and treading water. Front crawl increases to 15m. Introduction to safe boating skills is also included. Endurance is developed through a 50m swim. Refinement of front crawl with a focus on hand entry and breathing (25m), back crawl with a focus on arm positions and body roll (25m), and introduction to elementary backstroke (15m), safety on ice, and rescue of others with throwing assists. Swimmers demonstrate the front dive and their ability to tread water in deep water for 1½ minutes. Endurance is built through dolphin kick and a 75m swim. Build skills and endurance for the front crawl (50m), back crawl (50m) and elementary back stroke (25m) and introduction to whip kick on the front. Swimmers learn about airway and breathing obstructions, reach assists and stride entry. Swimming endurance is increased to a 150m swim. Introduction to breast stroke (15m) and feet-first surface dives. Swimmers learn about the dangers of open water, hypothermia, the performance of rescue breathing on children and adults, and standing shallow dives. Swimmers participate in timed treading water activities using the eggbeater skill for 3 minutes to improve their ability to remain at the surface in the event of an unexpected fall into water. Endurance is built on a 300m swim. Front crawl and back crawl distances are increased to 75m each. Refinement of front crawl (100m), back crawl (100m), elementary back stroke (50m) and breast stroke (25m), and encourages swimmers to combine different kicks for fitness (3 mins). They also work on head-first surface dives and learn about wise choices, peer influences and self-rescue from ice. Endurance is built through a 400m swim. This level is a final assessment of the strokes for technique and distance (front crawl 100m, back crawl 100m, elementary back stroke 50m, breast stroke 50m and sidestroke 25m). Swimmers learn about sun safety, rescue of others from ice, and head-first and feet-first surface dives. Endurance is built using the dolphin kick (vertical) and a 500m swim.

The initial site has an elevation change of 132 m over its 1.1 km length. Kamloops has a worldwide reputation in the sport of mountain biking. For many years Kamloops’ hills and riders have been featured in the adrenaline and gravity rushing films such as “Pulp Traction” and “Cranked”. Its unique climate and terrain and the variety of riding that can be found have already attracted riders from all over the globe. Phase 1 features a fast-flowing, A-line style downhill trail boasting a multitude of tables and “berms” rated for the expert rider; a jump park for expert and intermediate riders; and a BMX track to Canadian Cycling Association standards. Phase 2 is a diverse bike park features including a trials area, cross-country trails, biker cross track, and a kid’s park. www.kamloops.ca/bikeranch 30

How to Buy the Right Helmet for Biking There are different types of helmets for different sports and activities. It is important when choosing a bicycle helmet to make sure that it is specifically designed for cycling (not hockey, skiing, football, etc.), providing the protection you need.

• H elmets should have adequate vents to allow for airflow to the head. • A void helmets with pointed shapes, thin straps, and complicated adjustments. • W hen you place your helmet on your head, it should sit low. The brim of the helmet should be about two fingers width (1-2 cm) above the eyebrows. • T he helmet should not be tilted forwards or backwards. • T he chinstraps should go over both ears in the shape of a V. The chinstrap should be secure around the chin, with room for one finger to fit between the strap and the chin.

Make Sure Your Helmet Fits!
