pool in Ailsa Craig.
For the third consecutive year,
Jana Lyn Stewart, daughter of
Mr. & Mrs. Andy Stewart of Ailsa
Craig has been providing
swimming lessons for the
children in the community in the
family's backyard pool each
afternoon throughout the sum-
mer holidays.
"I have an average of seventy
to eighty children each day
coming for instruction", smiled
Jana Lyn. "One day there were
actually a hundred who came for
lessons".
Well qualified to teach and with
knowledge of life saving, Jana'
Lyn is assisted at times by her.
brother Carl. Together they have
helped many overcome their
initial fear of water and find
confidence and enjoyment in the
pool as they increase their
swimming abilities. For the older
the more experienced children
the opportunity of learning new
strokes and diving techniques
means much, and most are
reluctant to forego their periods'
of instruction and cold
days.
Home for the summer from
Texas where she has been at-
tending university, Jana Lyn sees
.teaching the children as an op-
portunity to getting to know the
community children, as well as
providing herself with summer
employment.
"Let's pretend we're going to
go to sleep on water beds. See I
jump up on my bed and relax and
fall asleep", she tells a small
group Of beginniers in the
shallow end of the pool. They
follow her example and learn to
float. At the deeper end the older
group practices diving
techniques.
For the many who have made
the daily visit to the Stewart's
pool, it has been a much more
interesting and enriching sum-
mer. Many will have learned how
to swim because someone was
willing to take time and interest
in theM, and share their
backyard pool.
