Mr Bunting was instrumental to me becoming a certified swimming instructor. His training was tough...Especially the final day when he got in the pool with you simulating a person really drowning and having to break their grip.To this day I still enjoy swimming and thank him for all the knowledge he gave me!
I worked as a lifeguard at the Kennedy swimming pool in Lawrence as a teenager and have fond memories of my time there with Bob as city pools supervisor. Your were a great boss and all around good person. Sorry to see you leave us but glad to see you stayed around the water and continued to share your expertise with generations of swimmers and life savers.
I have fond memories of being in the pool with Bob Bunting on the deck encouraging, teaching, and supporting all of us "want to be lifeguards and swimming instructors". Thank you Bob for many years of dedication to the art of teaching swimming!
