[edit] "Our Lovely Swim Program"
Students will swim in the pool, located in the basement of the building, which actually belongs to the hillcrest jewish center. Our instructors, Merriam Hammer, Merriam Jr., and Steve (the best of the trio,) teach us of their version of the fundamentals of swimming, which are the following the 6 major strokes, the 4 dives, and flip turns (Oh Joy.) If you are a fan of the sport of Futboll Americano (American Football) Than you might be farmiliar with a famous playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys played at Lambeau Field (where the packers play,) you will know of that game as the Ice Bowl. The temperatures in the pool (even in the winter) are not exactly but are similar to that of that game.

This lovely class is headed by the Snapple Lady, Susan Fong. The fun, but very boring games we play will be listed next: line soccer, hit the deck, pin bowling, watered down, regular soccer, american football, fake knockout (we take turns), and wiffle ball.
