Swimming

From the Poston Chronicle
May 12, 1945

Facts show that during the last two years, 87 people of Poston were saved from drowning by lifeguards.

Photo: Kuni Iwo, shown here with his wife, also interned at Poston camp II. When I asked Kuni why he became a life guard, he said it was because 'all the girls flocked over to them'.
