A scuba diver explores Jones Pool during First Swim, First Paddle & First Dive—an event hosted by EMU’s Orthotics and Prosthetics program where amputees and others with physical challenges learn adapted water sports. Certified swimming, kayaking and scuba diving instructors from across the U.S. were here to teach the free clinics that attracted more than 20 regional participants. First Paddle—the kayaking clinic—is the brainchild of EMU alumnus Chris Casteel (MS09), owner of Anew Life Prosthetics and Orthotics in Detroit. First Clinics are run by the Orthotics and Prosthetic Activities Foundation, based in Charlotte, N.C.
