Cold waters manual5/25/2023 In the summer of 2016, Amy Benton became the first certified ALTS instructor in Kentucky from U.S. More than 120 people have gone through similar lessons with Adult Learn-to-Swim (ALTS) founder Amy Benton, who has guided more than 75 percent of them from not being able to put their heads underwater to being completely comfortable in it. Then, with Sharron finally in the water, the rest of the students moved to start working, their identical red caps with bold white text that read “Swimming Saves Lives Foundation,” bobbing above and below the water’s surface. She didn’t move.Įventually, after a few deep breaths, Sharron treaded over to Amy, but not without another collection of hoots and hollers. Waiting expectantly in the water, instructor Amy Benton turned to her. Sharron was not one of that majority and slow and steady, she descended from the step ladder into the water. Unlike Sharron, most of the other students came in from the parking lot with their caps already on and had even gotten in early to tread water. It took 10 more minutes just for her to get the swim cap on and make her way to the pool’s edge. “I’m here!” she said, her voice coming out in gasps. She rushed in, sporting large hoop earrings and a hat that struggled to contain her white hair. Compared to others who had arrived as much as 30 minutes early, Sharron Sales, 62, threw open the doors of Central High School’s pool facility at 11:57 a.m., three minutes before the lesson began.
