A life guard’s job ‘attendant 11 Ah, the life of a swimming pool lifeguard. All you do is sit around by the cool water and pretend to watch the kids. ‘No problems, no worries, right? If you really believe this then talk to the lifeguards at the Terrace swimming pool. “Tt's really boring, nolsey and hot,” says Bruce Miller the pool superintendant. The .pool staff estimates: with the hot weather Terrace has been experiencing the last week, the pool has been averaging 130 kids an af- ternoon between the ages of 10 to 12 years old. How do you keep an eye on 130 kids at one time. Weill once the pool gels over one hundred kids the staff puts three lifeguards on duty. More than 150 kids and they don't allow any more into the water. “We use preventative guarding,’” says Miller. ‘You try to stop accidents before they happen. You watch for rough games and stuff. “You've got to watch the little kids. Their bigger friends go to the deep end to dive and they try to go too.” The guards: also have to ’ switch off regularly says Elaine Hottot Recreation | Vancouver thumped VANCOUVER (CP) — Art Gardner and Guy Solarz each hit home runs and drove in three runs Monday night as Phoenix Giants defeated Vancouver Canadians 9-3 in a Pacific Coast League baseball game before 1,473 fans.

M. Fell, Purchasing Agent, District of Kitimat, 270 City Centre Kitimat, B.C, “It's not good to guard for more than 15 minutes to half an hour. Beyond that you start thinking about home or something else and you can't concentrate.” "+ Hottot sdys even though there may be 130 kids in the pool there is still plenty of ‘room for them to practice their swimming. “The pool looks crowded but once you are in the water there is plenty of room to swim around, “Tf they can get under the is hot and noisey water and blow bubbles they're starting to learn to swim.” But just what do all those little kids do all afternoon. “They play tag and: have different little contests,’ says Hottat. -“They have diving con- tests off the side of the pool, swim around underwater, splash, Today some were pretending they were shooting each other and were falling into-the pool. A real social thing happens.” With this number of kids you might think there would be some discipline problems but Miller says not, ; “Not the jast little while. They've been pretty good. A couple of years ago we hada rowdy bunch but most are pretty good.”” She does add they do have some problems with theft from the changing rooms. Lockers are provided which can be rented for a dime, but Miller says some of the kids think this is too much to spend for the protection of their goods. _ TERMINAL EXPRESS—— (635-3680) Parcel Pickup & Delivery ‘Light Packages & Parcels Chairs - Recliners - End Tables - Portable T.V.
