Six of the babies and their parents have been asked to show their swimming skills in a promotion of the Blue Ribbon I n f a n t S w im p r o g ra m , according to Jackie Young, instructor and founder of the program. The local babies have been participants in the program since it was introduced at Kah- Nee-Ta last summer. Ms. Young said the appeal of taking the Warm Springs babies is a cultural appeal. The program the local babies and their parents will put on has the flavor of the Indian culture because they use canoes as a part of their program.
