Camella Northpoint partners with the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC) in teaching hundreds of kids to swim this summer in the Learn to Swim Program that runs from April 16 up to June 1, 2012.
With 20 participants per swim class and up to two classes a day, each batch will train for one week, producing over 300 new swimmers by the end of the program period. The trainees are from ages five to 15 years old.
The participants are kids mostly from the Buhangin area endorsed by PNRC, including children of Camella Northpoint homeowners, their relatives or friends.
“Camella Northpoint’s hosting of the swimming program is a way to extend our camaraderie to our neighbors in the community, and ensuring kids of the condo residents are safe when swimming at our wellness pool,” said Engr. Aurora Jane Martinez, Camella Northpoint Property Manager.
Swimming levels offered are preschool (Water Information), Beginner Swimming (Water Exploration), Advance Beginner Swimming (Primary Skills), and Intermediate Swimming (Stroke Readiness). To ensure safety and the proper learning of the young participants, six facilitators and aides were on hand to handle each class.
All trainors are certified water safety and swimming instructors, lifeguards and junior lifeguards of PNRC. Adult Lifeguard-trainors are Justine Gonzales, Gherson Cruz, Kirt Murcia, Adam Parreño, and Lester Mogada. Junior lifeguard-trainors are Jullian Gonzales, Erick Uy, Jan Uy, Miguel Aranas, Camille Quimno, Jason Muñez, and Farido Ong.
As the swimming program will run up to June 1st, it is still open to accept registrants at the PNRC office or at the Corporate Administration Office of Camella Northpoint. Fee per registrant is P1,000 for a 5-day class session, two hours per day from Monday to Friday.
PNRC will award each participant with a certificate of participation at the end of a successful training.
