Swimming with the Fishes?

bubbles!swim!!

For the second summer in a row, Summit Prevention Alliance is offering swimming classes for our Latino kids. The kids really enjoy the classes! Sixteen kids are currently enrolled in swimming. During the classes, the kids learn basic skills to help them establish good swimming behaviors and techniques.

The classes currently take place at the rec center. The recreation center’s swim instructors do a wonderful job working with the children! Many thanks go out to the staff at the rec center!

What’s Cooking?

Last Thursday before Dialogue Over Dinner, we taped the first episode of What’s Cooking? What’s Cooking? is Summit Prevention Alliance’s new healthy cooking show that will be aired on SCTV (Comcast channel 10) locally in Summit County. All day, I was excited and anxious to see how the show would turn out. I helped Ian, our super-duper bilingual chef, purchase the food. When we started to set up, I was thrilled to learn that I would get to help prep the food!

Liliana Dicing Onions

Nervous for those who were going to be taped, I watched as Brad from SCTV began filming. The room was filled with anticipation as we prepared to start. Our executive director, Tom, said that he had chills running down his back. Ian, however, was full of energy and ready to go. Cecilia, Summit County’s premier nutritionist, did an excellent job interpreting (the show is in both English and Spanish). Cecilia also provided some superb nutritional tips throughout the show. Check out the dynamic duo!
