The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1969-06-26, Page 6foga. 6 Times-Advocate,June 76, 196, FOR ALL GOOD $PORT By Ross Haugh Busy summer With the end of public school classes this week, youngsters in Exeter and the surrounding communities have the opportunity to enjoy the many recreation facilities offered locally by Exeter's RAP committee, the group that administers all activities of recreation, arena and parks. The big "if" in this summer's program, of course will be the weatherman. Despite the cool weather of the past weekend, the local swimming pool was open. Recreation director Alvin Willert said with the cool air temperatures it was impossible to get the water temperature above 62 degrees. This makes for much less than desirable swimming conditions. Next Wednesday, the six-week summer playground program gets underway with registration at the Arena and Victoria Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration will continue through Friday. Any youngsters who are eligible for kindergarten classes this fall will be accepted for the six week program and the maximum age limit is 15. Willert and his staff of playground supervisors are spending this week at a special playground course in Goderich sponsored jointly by Conestoga College and several Recreation Associations. Local supervisors, Betty Jean Miller, Kathy MacDonald, Jo-Anne Burke and Pete Mason are participating in the special training sessions this week and will be in charge of the local program when it gets underway next week. Children who register for the playground program are asked to bring along a one dollar registration fee. This is the only charge for the summer activities that will include the usual parades, penny carnivals and hikes. Last year sleep-outs were held at the park and this year Willert hopes to extend this to possibly three-day camp-outs at Morrison Dam for children in the 10 to 13 year bracket and a repeat of the park sleep-outs for one night for the younger boys and girls. Swim Program Set Also, next week, the full summer schedule at the Exeter swimmingpool will be getting underway. Regular swimming instruction classes will start Wednesday morning, July 2. Instruction will be given daily from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 'and 4 to 6 p.m. Registration forms appear in this week's issue of the T-A and may be mailed to Alvin The senior swimming supervisor at the pool this year will be Joan Warren of Windsor. Joan is a niece of Rev. Douglas Warren, who has been serving as minister of .Main Street United Church here and takes over the new Crediton United Church pastoral charge at the end of this month. Assisting in the swim instruction will be Carol Lynn Shapton and Judy Glover. Both girls are busy this week gaining further knowledge in the swimming and lifeguard field. Carol Lynn is attending an instructor's course at London and Judy is in Owen Sound completing a leader's course. For the second year, a season ticket plan for open swimming will be available. This means a big saving for anyone who takes regular advantage of the swimming pool facilities. Tickets that go on sale this week will cost a boy or girl, 14 or under $5, anyone over 14 will pay $7. 50 and a family group plan is available for $20. Regular admission fees of 15c for public school students, 25c for high school students and 50c for adults will still be in effect for those wishing to pay each time they attend. Beginning Saturday of this week open swimming is available seven days a week from 2 to 4 and 7:30 to 9. For the younger fry, the wading pool at Victoria Park will be open each afternoon during the summer months from 2 to 4 p.m. beginning next Wednesday.
