The balance of pool time is for swim instruction and the age r nge Is fr•am---the-very - young tone girl is just four months old) to adults. • • Smaller Classes One major difference over last years swim program, according. to Tony, -who hails from Hensall, is that the classes have been made smaller this - year to allow for more individualized in- struction -especially for the younger and - less ex- perienced classes. The classes vary fr a "mother and tots" prog m to adult classes in fifes ing and leader courses. Two products of last year's. swin. program.

With a successful season now` a certainty. the com- mittee which promoted the idea bf a pool and then helped raise the funds for it breathe easier -and even take a dip in the pool. Not only is -the program drawing youngsters and adults from the Kirkton- Woodham area but from homes between Kirkton and St. Marys and- out of the Lucan and Exeter areas, too.
