P&R AQUATICS REPORT for MCPD June July August 2008 <br />I provided observations, recommendations, and staff support for a swim instructor <br />with students with disabilities in NAS summer swim classes.The swim instructor <br />learned new adaptive techniques with patience, dedication, and joy: <br />A child with autism that wasn’t able to get his head wet on the first swim lesson <br />passed his level I certification! A youth with intellectual impairments continued <br />swimming progress transferring from NAS lessons to regular public swim at <br />Kawamoto Pool with a personal assistant. <br />I worked with ADA coordinator, aquatics, Parks Maintenance, and Fire <br />Department Ocean Safety on: purchase of hippocampes and mobi mats, on site <br />beach tests, public loan systems and storage agreements for improved beach <br />access. <br />I conducted an Aquatic orientation at Brantley Center and assisted them in setting <br />up regular swim days at Honoka’a pool. Terry Miura, a swim instructor from the <br />Aquatics Division and I will be assisting on their first day at the pool. <br />Pahala pool offers a weekly adapted aquatics class. KCAC has installed new <br />changing benches, handrails, and a new pool lift. The Full Life Learning Center <br />continues to swim there once a week. Konawaena Pool next to Kona Krafts has <br />re-opened. Laupahoehoe pool is closed for renovations. <br />
