CPR INSTRUCTOR CALLOUT

Are you currently a CPR instructor that might be interested in helping?  Would you be interested in becoming an instructor and helping the club if part of your training fee was paid?  We are looking at options to get pool sessions going again, and this is a possible pathway to that.  If you think you might be able to help in this way (no obligation) please contact Linda Decker (button below).
