As the area's Red Cross Water Safety Consultant, Dalke wants as many people as possible to know the right way to behave around water. “My goal this summer is to work on; improving the safety attitudes of not only the children, but also the adults,” said Dalke, who serves the Kootenay’s out of the Red Cross office in Cran- brook. “The big thing is making Parents aware that because your child can swim doesn't mean your child is waterproof.” It’s an important message. Rela- tive to other provinces, B.C. is the national leader for drownings on a per capita basis. In 1990, the most recent year for statistics, the average drowning rate in B.C. was 5.45 peo- ple per 100,000. The national aver- age is 2.5 per 100,000 “T think it's going to be an excel- lent summer. There's an incredible number of keen and eager volun- teers,” Dalke explained. “Volunteers are the basis of the Red Cross. It’s through their energy that we get the message across.” Thosg volunteers, along with water safety instructors, are the peo- ple who get the water safety mes- sage across. As water safety consultant, Dalke’s job is a three pronged attack. There's leadership training, public education, and administering the people running the various traini , Dalke added that the volunteers are always welcome to join th Red Cross. * “If they're interested in helping out, I'll find something for them to do,” she said. “They can call me in Cranbrook and I'll let them know what's going on in the area.” Her number is 426-1820. Training involves the people who offer the various water safety programs like swimming lessons, a learn to swim program, a pre-school program, and the small craft safety survival cours: : “We have several programs we've had in place for several years,” she said.

There's a bit of a soft sell on with those pre- sentations. The idea of the parachute water-safety games is to get the kids to come back in the evening, and have them drag the parents along. ~ Dalke has also suggested a simi: lar approach be taken at pool swim- ming lessons. She wants instructors to bring parents to pool side and teach them how to do dock, shore, and pool deck rescues. And how to recognize a drowning person. “We teach kids how to do this all the time, but we don’t teach the adults,” said Dalke. “If you watch the movies, they show a person coming up three or four times, yelling for help.
