Drownproofing JROTC and JCLC
JCLC and JROTC took one last trip out to the pool on Wednesday to work on drownproofing.
The Edinburg pool has for years been the destination for the cadet’s drownproofing lesson. The calm and constant waters of the pool make it easy to control the environment and the town has been very helpful by allowing our cadets to jump in with their ACUs on.
This lesson is designed to help cadets understand what to do in a water scenario so that they do not sink or drown. Using their uniforms as a flotation device, they are taught how to float in a position that can keep their heads above water for an extended time with minimal effort. This is also a great way for non-swimmers to gain confidence in the water, and our experienced JROTC staff are excellent teachers. After all of the lessons this summer, the JROTC and JCLC cadets will be ready for any adventure that comes their way!
You know your child can do more but is not getting the attention needed in their current environment to reach their full potential. We know that choosing the right school for your child can be difficult because each child is so unique. We believe students should experience school as it should be, a place where children are educated in an environment that leads them to thrive and encourages their maximum potential.
