REPORT ON 1996 CPRS CONFERENCE IN SAN DIEGO
Mr Davis attended the CPRS Conference in San Diego early in

stressed the importance of cross cultural training through the

passive, yet positive way of bridging the differences between
cultures. An effective way of expressing cultural differences in
a creative manner is through story telling, jewelry making, and
culturally relevant plays

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AQUA AEROBICS SET TO START APRIL 9, 1996
The City of Lynwood Recreation and Community Services Department is
proud to announce the start of the Natatorium's 1996 Aqua Aerobics
season! Beginning April 9, 1996 at 8:00 p m. the Aqua Aerobics
class will meet each Tuesday and Thursday evening for 45 minutes.
This schedule will be in effect through May 9, 1996. The cost is
only $1.00 per class visit While this class is designed for
adults, anyone under 18 years of age may request an age exemption
from the instructor prior to the start of the class.
"This program has expanded beyond the Summer months only ", says
Aquatic Director Jim Coles. Water provides a nearly weightless
environment, and the resistance of movement is only as restrictive
as you allow it to be. Led by an experienced instructor such as
Ms. Rosie Carrillo, each person is encouraged to exercise at their
own level. This low -to- medium impact level aerobics class is
conducted entirely in shallow water and swimming is not essential.
"From an enjoyment as well as a therapeutic standpoint there is no
better form of exercise or therapy than water ", continues Coles.
