The USA Waterski Safety clinic was held at SMRR on March 17th, 2012 – St. Patrick’s day. We had a dozen participants with various safety ratings and experience in attendance. Terry Dlugosh conducted the clinic with valuable input from a couple of our resident doc’s, Kurt and Betty Grathwohl. Reviewing and discussing the safety materials and information as a relatively new group gave us all a new perspective on managing our tournaments. The water rescue excercise, done in the Hall’s pool, was especially entertaining! Many of us got a refresher of properly executing a water rescue and some had their first experience. It was truly a bonding event for a new group of neighbors. We are now very comfortable and confident that we have several capable group members that can handle a safety event, should one occur. We all worked so well together and had fun!!! -skismrr
