Lots of swimming fun in store

It is time again for the Middleton and District Swimming Pool to open for the season and the staff hope that the activities and programs offered this year will serve the public well. The pool is open to the public June 28 and 29, with a public swim open to all from 1 to 3 p.m.

Swimming lessons and the normal season-long schedule begin June 30.

On July 1 there will be a Fun Day, open to everyone from 1:30 to 4 p.m., public swim will be free of charge and there will be hot dogs and pop sold at cost, as well as games and activities.

Continuing on from last year will be Adult Aquasize twice a week in the evenings and Kids of Steel Triathlon, held every Friday afternoon. In addition, we are hoping to hold an Adult Triathlon Clinic sometime during the summer.

New this summer are different levels of scuba diving classes for all different ages offered by Sand and Sea Dive Shop in Kentville. Dates for this are to be announced. Also, we have a Junior Lifeguard program designed for kids and teens interested in the activities that lifeguarding has to offer or are looking to maybe become one. It is to inspire, keep kids on their toes, and keep them active.

As well, we have Adult Lap Swim in the evenings three times a week. We are hoping that this will provide time for adults to stay in shape and keep active.

To register for any of these programs or swimming lessons just come by the pool June 26 and 27 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. As well, registration can happen any time after these dates during day time hours.

The pool is located at 31 Gates Ave. in Middleton and the phone number is 825-6600. Please be sure to call if you have any questions. Be sure to come and register as soon as you can, a minimum participant number is needed to make these programs possible this summer. The staff involved at the pool is excited for the summer and hope to see lots of faces out soaking up the sunshine, staying cool and being healthy. Remember season passes for singles and families are available.
