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
