cv update

Dear Sharon Taporowski, Tahsis Recreation center staff supervisor

I am interested in becoming involved in part of the pool staff in a lifeguard capacity this fall season. While in Ontario I completed a first aid course and previously had completed my Bronze cross with Barbara Wilson. I hope to put my name in the hat the available lifeguards so we may continue to offer swimming in our community. Further, I am interested revisiting the Aqua yoga,stay strong with Sarah, when my schedule allows. Please contact me if you have any questions about my ability to be a part of your team.

Please see my c.v. for relevant qualifications and past experience.

Thanks Sincerely,

Sarah Fowler
