Jr. Lifesaving
Club
|
Students looked forward to their trip to
the Kona Aquatic center every Wednesday where they received
Jr. Lifesaving skills from Hoku Kimitete of Hawaii County
Lifeguards. These10 students in the 5th and 6th grade
learned lifesaving techniques and developed confidence in
water safety awareness through Kimitete's Junior Lifeguard
Program. These students will now be able to provide another
set of watchful eyes at the local beaches they surf and play
in daily as well as demonstrate the water safety behaviors
they have learned in the program in order to ensure a safe
and fun beach experience.
