Adair Headstart kids get aquatics training at Campbellsville U Columbian Ken McAlpine is student instructor in program; Adair County Head Start teachers Connie Chapman, Mike Scott, Kay Nelson and Anita Wethington, participating in swimming program for pre-schoolers at Campbellsville University By Linda Waggener, assistant director of university communications CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. -- Three hundred Head Start students, including kids from Adair County, are swimming under the direction of Dr. John Mark "Doc" Carter, professor of recreation and aquatics at Campbellsville University, this semester.

Student lab assistants who are already nationally certified instructors are: Karrie Anderson, Troy Bryant and Jazz Murphree, said Carter.
