Successful engagements with city students of all ages and abilities has happens with Coach Mark.
Lifeguards give five after a game of SKWIM.
Swim pools are the best learning labs, my highest calling and priority.
- Our kids are not with many opportunities to learn to swim.
- Our kids are not being introduced to aquatics, so few want to become lifeguards when they get older.
- Accidental death rates due to poor judgement and skills in and around the water are crazy high.
- Playing well with others, listening, rule-following, language coding, safety, leadership, wellness topics and other social skills put into focus with teaching, practices and competitions at the pools.
- It is hot in the summer!
- Both Citiparks and PPS are blessed with an abundance of seldom utilized and readily available, older facilities that can host our programs.
Educational experiences occur in other recreational settings, beyond pools.
- All-City Sports Camp proposed.
- Coaching track, running the Liberty Mile.
- Art, of course.
- Technology in many forms from WordCamps, Podcamps, Youth Tech Summits -- PUBLISHING
