LIFE-SAVING COURSE WILL BE STARTED ON MARCH 17

On March 17 a three weeks' course will be started in the swimming pool of the New Indoor Athletic Building for senior life-savers in the University who wish to become qualified examiners in order to teach life-saving at summer camps or elsewhere.

This examiner's test is a more difficult edition of the senior life-saving examination. It includes such feats as holding a ten-pound weight above the surface for several minutes while treading water, swimming a quarter of a mile free style, carrying a body all around the pool, retrieving a brick ten feet below the surface without diving, and other tests.

Instruction and tests will take place, starting March 17, on every Tuesday and Thursday for the following three weeks. Two classes will be held each day: from 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock, and from 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock.

Coach Bob Muir advocates that men intending to try for their examiners' cards get in condition now by visiting the pool occasionally, as the test is by no means an easy one. The four release methods have to be demonstrated in one session, as do also the four carrying methods, and clothing has to be worn in certain events. An oral quiz is also required.
