Super Swimbabes invited to show their skills
The Super Swimbabes of
Warm Springs have been
invited to participate in a
swimming program on the
island of Oahu in the Hawaiian
Islands during the first week of
July. 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.
