060812 - Nikki Kunkle, 16 year old Smyrna teenager, worked as a lifeguard at Tolleson Pool in Smyrna, before losing her right arm in a car accident. She still works at the pool, though not as a life guard. She hopes to be re-certified if she can be fitted with an appropriate prosthetic which will work in the water. The pool was closed to the public today, so the pool employees had time for some fun in the pool . BOB ANDRES/STAFF

present were Susanna Paetzhold, 16, friend of Nikki's since kindergarten (in white top); Laney Bland, 16 (blue top); Kara Hunton, 18 (gray top)
