They told her they werewalking long distances for firewood, clean water was scarce, the soilwas disappearing from their fields, and their children were sufferingfrom malnutrition.‘Well, why not plant trees?’ Maathai suggested. These womenfound themselves working successively against deforestation,poverty, ignorance, embedded economic interests, and governmentcorruption, until they became a national political force that helped tobring down Kenya’s 24-year dictatorship.Through TV footage and chilling first person accounts, Taking Rootdocuments the dramatic confrontations of the 1980s and 1990sand captures Maathai’s infectious determination and unwaveringcourage.

AquaticsYouth Learn to SwimThe goal of the Reston Community Center’s Learn to Swim Program is to prepare participants for a lifetime of waterpleasure and to promote water safety. All lessons are taught by the Aquatics staff of the Reston Community Center.Each instructor has been trained and certified by a national agency. Staff members are certified in CPR and furthertrained by the RCC Aquatics School. If the class level you want is not available at a convenient time, please ask to beput on the Interest List. When possible, classes are created to meet special time and day requests. If you are unsure ofclass placement, a water test can be arranged by calling the Aquatics Department at 703-390-6150. Parents of Level1, Level 2, Rookies, and Skippers classes are highly encouraged to attend a free 1-hour orientation designed to teachparents how to provide guidance, care, supervision, motivation, and support as their children participate in our swimlessons program. Parents are reminded that after the first day of class, they are requested to observe their swimmer’sclass from the pool overlook. It cannot be over-emphasized that participation in any swim lesson program will not“drown-proof” your child. It is only the first step in developing your child’s water safety and swimming skills. Yearroundpractice, regular exposure to water and positive encouragement are the tools needed for developing your child’scomfort level in water and improving their abilities.CLASSES AGES PREREQUISITES:Youth Class RequirementsSwim Level 1/2 6-9 year olds No swimming skills required.Swim Level 1/2 10-12 year olds No swimming skills required.Swim Level 3Swim Level 46-12 year olds6-12 year oldsStep from side into chest-deep water, move into a front float for 5 seconds, roll toback, float for 5 seconds then return to standing.Move into a back float for 5 seconds, roll to front then recover to standing.Push off and swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for 5 bodylengths, roll to back, float for 15 seconds, roll to front and continue swimming for5 body lengths.Jump into deep water from the side, swim front crawl for 15 yards, maintainposition by treading or floating for 30 seconds and swim elementary back strokefor 15 yards.Swim Level 56-12 year oldsPerform a feet-first entry into deep water, swim front crawl for 25 yards, changeposition and direction and swim elementary backstroke for 25 yards.
