Blake is a member of the Kearns Youth Aquatic Team. He has competed in various swim meets and has found his little niche in the sporting world now. He's played baseball and soccer and finally discovered a love of swimming. After a year or more of swimming he decided that he would take a break this summer and try something different. So we signed him up for the Junior Lifeguard program at KOPFC (Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center). At 11 years old he is the youngest junior lifeguard. After they receive their training they have to volunteer at the pool for 20 hours to get their certification. Blake enjoys it a lot and I see a watery, chlorinated future for this boy.
This morning, Big Buddha with Fox 13 News came out to the pool to showcase all the goings-on for the upcoming Fire Water & Ice Festival and did a lot of stuff with the lifeguards. My little Blake is now a celebrity.
Here are the pics!
