She takes fear from swimmers

People in the News

By LESLIE WHITMAN For those who are afraid of swimming at a public beach in front of a bunch of people, take heart. The summer swimming program at Wawasee High School started this week. Heading up this program is Cindy Peterson, girls' swimming and track coach at Wawasee High School. The young, active coach and mother has been at Wawasee for nine years, coming straight from Ball State University. She has bachelor's and master's degrees in physical education and feels the physical education program at Wawasee to be one of the best. She says, "Our physical education program here is tremendous. We offer a lot of individual lifetime sports." Os course, her first love is girls' sports, more importantly - swimming and tennis. She has coached the girls' swim team for seven years and the tennis team the past two years. She also teaches physical education and all of the swimming classes. Best Program Around Mrs. Peterson has been in charge of the summer swimming program for nine years. Between 600-800 students and adults participate each year. Classes are scheduled three per hour from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. nonstop. Beginning, intermediate and advanced classes are varied throughout the day so mothers don't have to drive an intermediate and advanced child at two different times. The coach feels this summer program is a good one. "It is what I consider one of the best programs around," she commented. "We are best staffed." Probably one of the main reasons the program is so well staffed is that Mrs. Peterson has taught the instructors herself. She hires students she has had in some of her water safety instructor classes. She also hires lifeguards who have taken her advanced lifesaving class. Usually six instructors and 10 lifeguards are hired. Mrs. Peterson does no instructing herself, so as to get a summer break. She does handle any
