Mark Frezell, London, excited council with an entirely new proposal for swimmers only. Based on an Australian idea, he passed around sketches of his 40' by 20' water tram- poline.

Frezell said that it would be anchored and hoped to in- stall it in late June until September. This huge trampoline contains two slides on it. including one which you have to climb up into the ('row's nest granted, for 91.00 each which entitles 15 minutes on the trampoline. When asked how people get out to the tram- poline, Frezell said you have to swim out. It's for swimmers only, he repeated. Reeve Harold Green thought the idea- was great but was concerned with the swimming back and forth. Councillor Marsha Lemon didn't like the whole concept. For safety reasons,' she said that younger children would try to swim out (here and it's not salt water here. It's easier to drown in Lake Huron.

He won first at the local level and competed at the North Lambton E.S. competition where he won the first place plaque he holds here. - safer by far because when you fall off the machine it stops right there, he said.
