PARKHAVEN POOL NEWSLETTER

The City of Cote Saint-Luc and the Parkhaven Pool Staff welcome you, the Patrons, and look forward to the continuation of what has been a great season so far.

CLUB ENVIRONMENT

In our effort to provide a club environment many improvements and additions have been made. Your City Council has created an official Pool Committee who meet regularly to insure the best possible use of our facility and the highest level of service. Your co-operation and respect for our staff and the rules, which insure your safety and the general welfare of our community, best reward our efforts.

For the first time ever we opened the Pool on June 3, 2000 and will remain open until labour day September 4, 2000, increasing the Pool season by one whole month.

Our opening Members Bar-B-Q took place despite the rain and was greatly appreciated by those who attended.

We instituted the use of lane ropes to allow more flexibility during adult and free swim, so that those who wish to do laps and those who wish to play can do so often at the same time.

We are have encouraged use of the new green space for games by the children and organize activities including our most popular Bingo during the 4.30 adult swim.

We have scheduled our Fun Weekend for August 11th to 13th where we will have an inflatable slide, floaties accepted all weekend, pie throwing contest, races, contests, games and prices and much more.

Our guards are also available for birthday parties and of course private swimming lessons when they are not on duty. Please call 485-6821. The Ecole Maimonide and Edinburough School year end Parties and the birthday parties held thus far have been great successes.

SWIMMING AND SAFETY

Teaching swimming and safety has always been our main priority. This summer we are providing lessons 5 days a week for both residents and camp children. We offer stroke improvement, terrified of water and aqua fitness for adults. Aqua Fitness is held Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 18.15 to 19.00.

We would like to form a Pool Social Committee of Member and have scheduled Thursday August 3, 2000 as the date for our first meeting. We will meet at the Pool at 19.00 in the Picnic area. We will discuss the possiblity of organizing an evening party. Please confirm your attendence with Louise Ferland at Recreation at 485-6814.
