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 79 Maple Leaf flakes MUSHROOM %our 6'/ oz. tin 9 condensed cream of mushroom Campbell's soup 10 tt. oz. tin oo ■ assorted Royale facial tissue pkg. of 100 • Valves gifted** witil ctosl*q Saturday May 30, 1911 We reeetve Mie r1gM to limit quantities. 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. • WANTED ' ENTRIES FOR THE GREAT GRAND BEND BED. RACE • A FEATURE EVENT OF BURGERFEST '81 TO BE HELD ON MAIN ST.
