Lafayette lifeguards score high

It’s safe to go into the water in Lafayette.

Fifteen lifeguards from the Bob L. Burger Recreation Center earned second place in Colorado Parks and Recreation Association’s 28th annual Lifeguard Games held at Water World in Westminster.

The top 500 lifeguards in the state duke it out annually to test their skills and earn bragging rights.

The event’s mission is to promote professionalism, enhance skills, improve physical fitness and build teamwork.

The 2013 Lifeguard Games included a spirit competition, medley relay, multi-victim rescue relay, rescue tube relay with waves, inner tube relay, back-boarding scenario and a fastest lifeguard contest.

Boulder Digital Arts, as part of its upcoming 10-year anniversary, has a new scholarship program to enable people with financial hardships to take classes at no cost.

Since 2004, thousands of people have gone through BDA’s training in the creative digital arts. As a way of saying thank you to the community, BDA is offering free registrations to classes for people who might otherwise not be able to afford to take them.

Bruce Borowsky, co-Founder, said BDA is setting aside a number of registrations for nearly every event it holds each year. All applications will be evaluated by BDA’s scholarship committee which is composed of members of BDA staff along with volunteer members from the community.
