Bend swim program
to be moved to Exeter
The committee in charge
of the Grand Bend Swim
Program is hoping to move
swimming lessons to
Exeter's municipal pool this
summer. Barbara Southcott
says that the program has
outgrown the private pool
dependency era.
The swim program was
started in 1976 with lessons
on the south beach.
However, Mrs. Southcott
says it was evident from the
beginning that pool time was
essential to prepare the
children for the Red Cross
and Royal Lifesaving tests.
Several residents donated
the use of their private pools.
Mrs. Southcott says that
people were very generous
about donating private pool
time. But with increasing
registration, the committee
decided that it would be
better to travel to Exeter
pool rather than further
fragment the program by
seeking the use of more
private pools.
Last year there were 140
children registered in the
swim program. They
travelled to the Exeter pool
once a week to help prepare
them for their final tests.
Mrs. Southcott says that
some children were better
able to show off their
swimming skills while doing
the longer lengths.
The committee has been
assured of full co-operation
of the Exeter recreation
staff. They will travel to

Grand Bend to register the
children, and their fee
schedule will apply.
The committee is hoping to
hire a bus to transport the
children to Exeter. At
present, the plans are to
have four levels of classes.
Two groups could be in the
pool at a time, with a half
hour lesson each. That would
mean the children would
only have a half hour waiting
time, they would only be in
Exeter for an hour, and
away from Grand Bend for
about two hours.
Mrs. Southcott says that
these plans are flexible,
depending on registration. A
similar scheme was used
successfully in Hensel!.
Mrs. Southcott added that
it may be possible for the bus
to pick up children in the
Grand Bend area, and en
route to Exeter, helping
parents with transportation.
Because of the high cost of
hiring bus transportation,
the swim committee is
seeking donations from local
service clubs. Itis hoped that
with enough donations, the
registration fee can be kept
to a minimum.
