Adaptive Aquatic Swimming Club Week 1 (2 Hrs)

I had the another opportunity to volunteer at Adaptive Aquatics Swim Club in Columbus. This was a short volunteer activity from 8 AM to 10 PM. As per our usual meeting, Keiana referred this opportunity to me. I signed up for this activity the same day. So, in the morning of the Saturday, i went a little early, wandered around a little bit until the time. At 8'o clock I went to the desk and asked for volunteer activity. Employee at the desk guided me to the manager Ray. Ray introduced me to the other volunteers as well when I met her. After that, Ray asked one of the employees to introduce other protocols to me. Then, I met Eddie, she asked me first if I could get into water with the children, that day i was not ready for the water, So, she got me to help with the equipment arrangement and the attendance sheet. The whole activity was divided into three parts. The first one was to help level 1 children, to get them into the water and make bubbles. The second one involved volunteering around level 2 children in a 15 feet pool to help them. The third activity was to be with the team preparing for competition. As i was not in the water, I got a chance to talk to all of the children's parents and I was amazed to see their support. All the time, I was taking care of the sheet and the chores outside of the pool. As the team members were arriving, I was marking off that attendance sheet. Eddie was with me for the whole session. She made sure I understood everything about the Adaptive swimming. After going through the whole session, everybody said goodbyes and left quickly and also told me to get into water next time.
