Annie Huang

Annie has been in O2 for many seasons! A student

from Garfield High School she has been active at

both of the O2 locations through the years.

She is a curious, kind and helpful lady. All

summing to the wonderful person that is Annie! At

each workshop that she attends she is a joy and on

our weekend trips she can most often be found

exploring the local flora and fauna of the area. She

is everything that O2 appreciates about our

students! She puts her powers of curiosity to use at

each event inspiring others to think outside the box.

Her kindness is a quality that she extends to all of

our O2 students and staff. That and so much more

can be said about the lovely Annie Huang!

We look forward to another year with her!

Thank you Annie for always being your authentic

self!!!!!

Camp Long

Princess Asencio

Princess is one of our Garfield High School

student and has been an O2 student for only about six

months!

Princess may be relatively new to the program, but it

seems like she’s been in the program

forever. She always brings joy to any event she

attends and it’s hard to have a bad day when you are

around her. Princess is always willing to pick up a

shovel or get her hands dirty if it’s asked of her. She

also uses her enthusiasm to get more

students to help out! We look forward to having more

of her positivity and silliness in our

program!

————What is a Float Test?——–—————–

To participate in any O2 event that takes place on the water (kayaking, canoeing, etc.), you need to pass a float test.

A float test is when you prove to a lifeguard that you can tread water while wearing street clothes for 10 minutes and put

on a lifejacket. They are good for three years after you pass.

You do not need to be a good swimmer to pass the test.

———————–—How do I pass?—————————

Tread water or float for 10 minutes without touching the edges of the pool.

In the last minute, the lifeguard will throw you a life jacket to put on while still in the water.

————————–—When is it?—————————–—

Monday, July 1st CL & SW @ RBCC Pool & Tuesday, July 2nd CL & SW @ SW Pool

(All Float Tests will be 2:30 – 4pm )

—What should I bring?—

Photo identification

Long pants or leggings and a long sleeved shirt (you do the test with your clothes on!)

Towel

Change of clothes

———————— Can I take it on my own? ——————

Yes! Call any of these pools to ask about their float tests:

———————–—What if I don’t pass?——–—————– That’s okay! You can try again at future O2 float tests or on your own— and keep in mind we only

have two events that require float tests this summer!
