PXCU Volunteers Teach Convalescents To Swim Program To Instruct Palsy, Polio Patients Started In 1948 By GRACE HARVEY Copy Editor Teaching convalescent children to swim is the project of 11 Uni versity students. The voluntary group, which is wade up of members of the Water Safety Division of the Red Cross, instructs polio, palsy and other convalescing patients one afternoon a week at the YWCA pool. Eleven patients attend these Tuesday swimming sessions. The instructors are: Ann Kok jer, Barbara Grow, Arlina Harte, Blaine Ward, Barbara Turner, Nancy Mueller, Marilyn Eaton, Billie Howalt, Nancy Hall, Jane Spencer and Adelle Chassnov. . .EACH STUDENT teaches the lame patient throughout the swim ming program. "This way the patient knows his instructor and the instructor knows how much to expect of his patient," Arlina Harte, chairman of the Red Cross Water Safety Division, explained. University students have worked on the project since 1948. Interest increased and in 1952 a separate college water group was formed. The patients range from 18 months to 45 years of age with the largest percentage of them in the 5-15 year old group. THE PATIENTS are either able to walk with the help of crutches or braces or motivate themselves in wheelchairs. Although most of the victims are homebound, some of them attend school. The water, because of its buoyancy, enables the patients to walk and stand ( easier than they can on land. "Although we are pleased when our pupils finally learn to swim," the instructors said, "a slight im provement is enough to make us feel the worthiness of this proj ect." Miss Harte said, "As one teach er instructs only one student, more instructors are needed for work this summer and next fall." Requirements for instructors are a Water Safety Instructor's Cer tificate, interest and training "Course attendance. THE ELEVEN students working with the patients have completed a course at the YWCA which taught them flow to instruct the handicapped. During the course, which met in thr'ee sessions, the students learned, anatomical terms, different movements of the body and how to apply these movements to the swimming pro cess. In tlie- sessions they worked with blind persons and blindfolded themselves while swimming so tlu-t they could comprehend the j-i-obieras the blind are faced with v en learning how to swim. Students interested in giving ewirnming lessons to the handi c; 'med should call Miss Harte at 2-151. 4 - ' " '"THE ONLY aim of the student Instructors is to teach the patient to swim," Miss Harte emphasized. "Some people have the incorrect view that the instructors teach muscle coordination." "Muscle coordination and side reactions develop naturally, but they are in the doctor's field, not the instructor's," Miss Harte said. She added that swimming, be sides being helpful physically, builds morale because patients, when swimming, are doing some thing which normal people do. "Most of the children like the water," Miss Harte said, "but when they don't we play with them until they do like it." Kans. Gene, resident of Colum bus, is a junior in Ag College.
