The Super Swim Babies team was organized by Jackie Young last November. The team has gained in popularity* since it began doing benefit performances. The 22 members of the team began their careers as Super -Swim! Babies with survival training. A child learns to survive in the water first by being able to turn face up and breathe while kicking his feet. Instructor Young empha sizes that even with this training no child is drown- proof. Parents should always be around a child when water is nearby. With this training, however, she says “Parents gain an awareness of a child’s ability and an awareness o f a child’s limitations” along with “learning how to help and assist the child.” A child must learn respect for the water first. After he learns skill and confidence then water can be fun. “It is dangerous to be taught fun in the water first,” Young feels. One Super Swim Baby mother, Kathy Klaetsch of Eagle Creek, Oregon says her 10 month old daughter, Jamie “really enjoys the water now. She was survival trained after her seventh lesson.” Rosemary Charley, mother of one of the Warm Springs babies, Nicole, says she wants Nicole to become acquainted with the water so she doesn’t drown accidently. She says she would send Nicole to training sessions if they were offered in Warm Springs. Other parents queried agreed that they would send their children to swimming lessons if they were offered in the area. Lei’s mother, Charlene Calica says, “I enjoy swimming so I wanted him to learn. Lil Bull Owl’s father, Tony Suppah, sas he “wanted him to learn so he would have an idea about how to swim.” Jackie Young says she is looking into getting a training program established in Warm Springs. She says that Kah- Nee-Ta is the perfect place for it. / All-Indian slow pitch tournament An all-Indian men’s slow pitch tournament will be held in Warm Springs on August 15 and 16.

The Warm Springs Bravettes took first place in the Warm Springs Invitational Softball Tournam ent held at the C o m m u n ity C en ter th e "weekend of July 18, After being defeated by LaPush in the first game the Bravettes came back to win. The Portland Saints came in second at the tournament with Nisqually third followed by Queets. “The girls did very good,” according to acting-coach Teddy Tanewasha. She said many of the girls who were practicing for the game were u n a b le to p la y , w h ich discouraged tnem. Only a certain number can play at one time. Those who practiced most, exhibited the most skill and were more experienced were able to play. The practice sessions during the week have a purpose. They enable softball players to become experienced and to learn from mistakes. Team members must show up for these practices to advance in the game. They learn during the practices to form ulate a positive attitude and they learn there is no such thing as “I can’t,” Tanewasha says. If in terest in so ftb a ll continues and enough girls are willing to make a complete commitment to the softball team a Warm Springs league might be formed. “We could have an. outstanding team,” Tanewasha says. Bravettes team members include; pitcher-Phyllis Frank; pitcher-Althea Scott; catcher- Julie Mitchell; first base-Jeri Smith; second base-Val Swiza; third base-Janelle Smith; shortstop-Norma Miller; left field-Lilly Ann Suppah; center field-Fran Moses; right field- Sandra Shike; and coach Vernon Tanewasha.
