An underwater jeep will tour. the pool with only the driver's head and a snorkel above the water.

Baby to Swim

There will be fancy diving and clown diving, fancy water ballet and clown water ballet. One of the high spots will be the swimming demonstration of 18-month-old Lester Hardwick Jr., Misha waka. Lester recently saved his own life by swimming for 10 minutes when a motorboat overturned and drowned an adult companion. Climax of the fast-paced 2!5hour program will be a giant fireworks display.
