The Bend Park and Recreation District has a new short film documentary about its Family Swim Lessons in Spanish program. “Rompiendo Patrones / Disrupting Patterns” is a 12-minute short film that debuted at the Vámonos al Cine Latinos Film Fest as part of Welcoming Week.

Bend Park & Recreation District presenta un nuevo cortometraje sobre su programa de clases de natación para familia en español. “Rompiendo Patrones (Disrupting Patterns)” es un cortometraje de 12 minutos que se estrenó en Vámonos al Cine, durante el Festival de Cine Latino, el sábado 16 de septiembre, como parte de la Semana de la Bienvenida.

English

The documentary follows Latino families who have participated in the Family Swim Lessons in Spanish. The family swim program was created in 2018 as a collaboration between the BPRD Aquatics team and the Outreach team who focus on reaching historically underserved community members to build trust and awareness of BPRD programs and opportunities.

The film includes interviews with mothers who share how cultural differences and generational transferring of fear of the water contributed to their own feelings about water and swimming. With BPRD staff support and the unique program’s approach to teaching parents and children to swim simultaneously, families have gained life-saving swim skills and quality time.

To date, there have been 31 Family Swim Lessons in Spanish sessions with 105 families enrolled. The team would like to continue and expand the program when possible.

Bilingual swim instructors and lifeguard positions are available now and potential employees are encouraged to apply.

Spanish

El documental muestra la evolución de las familias que han participado en clases de natación para familias en español. El programa de natación familiar se creó en 2018, con la colaboración del departamento de actividades acuáticas de BPRD y el departamento de servicios de extensión de actividades de recreación, el cual se encarga de conectar a miembros de la comunidad históricamente desatendidos, recuperar su confianza y compartir los programas y oportunidades de BPRD.

El video incluye entrevistas a mamás, quienes compartieron cómo algunas experiencias culturales y generacionales pueden transferir el miedo e influir cómo se sienten respecto al agua. Las familias han adquirido habilidades de natación que podrían salvar vidas y calidad de tiempo compartido con el apoyo del personal de BPRD y el enfoque único del programa de enseñar a nadar a padres e hijos de manera simultánea.

Hasta la fecha, han habido 31 familias en las clases de natación de familias en español con un total de 105 participantes.  A nuestro equipo le gustaría seguir expandiendo el programa en tanto sea posible.

Los puestos de salvavidas e instructores de natación bilingües están disponibles, los alentamos a solicitar este puesto de trabajo aquí.
