Date— Aquancut scaaser Into Swimming Shape By DAN OBEDKOFF The Aquanauts have now been training for just a little over two weeks, and although there are still a few creaky joints to be stretched out, the team seems to be working its way into swimming shape. So far, Group 3. has been working very hard, and Group 2 is beginning to show signs of breaking into form. For those who are unfamiliar with the schedule, the team is divided into four groups, each of which practices at different times . during the day. The groups are divided by age and, to a larger extent, by swimming ability. All groups participate at least five days a week, with Group 1 swimming seven days a week, as the extra time is needed for the older swimmers who swim longer, more gruell- ing races in competition. Group 4, consisting of mostly novice swimmers and second-year youngsters, is im- proving rapidly, as assistant coach Corinne McGauley is doing her usual stellar job. Last week's practices were highlighted by the hard work of Drew Standidge, Steve Kruet- zky and Lisa Uchida. Drew and Steve have been diligently improving their swimming abi- lities, and both’ have an ex- cellent chance of qualifying for the B.C. Summer Games, which will be held this year in Rich- mond. Lisa is always consistent at practice, and already a FIRST AID TIP from bof BITES FROM BLOOD-SUCKERS AND LEECHES - © These bites may not be felt at the time but once they have taken hold of the skin it may be difficult to dis- lodge them @ Apply a lighted match, burning cigarette, common salt or a drop of kerosene of turpentine to the back of the blood-sucker or leech @ This will cause it to relax its bite ‘and it will fal! off or can be brushed off @ Cleanse the area with rubbing alcohol @ Relieve Irritation with bicarbonate of soda solution or with a weak ammonia solution @ Apply @ dry dressing @ When leeches bite they inject a substance which reduces clotting and the bite may bleed freely when it is removed © Slight pressure is sufficient to stop the bleeding. Death of a veteran at age nine, she ex: hibits great poise while in the water, The Aquanauts have now begun to collect pledges for this year’s annual swimathor. When you support the swimmers who come to your door, you are supporting the existence of an orgenization that provides an opportunity for swimmers to test and improve their physical abilities, as well as a healthy atmosphere of team involve- ment and companionship that provides many hours of enjoy- ment all summer long.
