Ontario Water Ski Instructors' Course

The 35th annual Ontario Water Ski Instructors' Course (OWSIC) will be
held from Saturday, June 15th through Thursday, June 20th in Sundridge,
Ontario.  The program provides training in the safest and most advanced
methods of teaching water skiing and is unique in providing an
outstanding student-teacher ratio and an excellent quality of
instruction.  Many camps and ski schools across Canada require their
instructors to attend OWSIC.

"OWSIC is the only accredited program which provides students with
in-boat driver training and practical skills teaching," says new OWSIC
director Trish Kaliciak.  Expert instruction in all aspects of teaching
water skiing is offered.

All OWSIC participants become fully certified Level 1 coaches under the
National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP).  In addition, students
are evaluated through written, oral and practical examinations to be
eligible for Level 1, 2 or 3 OWSIC Awards of Merit.

Participants must be at least 16 years of age (as of June 1, 1996) and
must be able to demonstrate the equivalent of Bronze Medallion swimming
requirements (ie. 400 yards continuous swimming).  The program fee is
$440, which includes GST, all meals, accommodation, instruction,
materials and a current OWSA membership.

More information and application forms may be obtained from the Ontario
Water Ski Association or by calling (416) 426-7092.  Deadline for
written application is June 1.  After this date, please call the OWSA
for more information.
