DEPARTING NEXT WEEK after spending the entire summer as lifeguards at the Winter Hill Condominium Association pool in Falls Church are Polish university students Grzegorz Olshowski (left) and Karol Iwanczyk, both physical education majors. They were among a group of six students from Poznan University who shared an apartment in Northern Virginia working as lifeguards at area pools, part of a “work abroad” program at their university, coordinated by the Boston-based CIEE. They’ll now have a month to travel in the U.S. before returning home. The two said they encountered a lot of friendly people at the pool who helped them in numerous ways, and that they hope to return to the same jobs next summer. (News-Press photo)
