<br />SWIMMING POOL HOURS CONTID <br /> <br />present their questions. <br />Councilman DelPizzo remarked the concern <br />was the hours the swimming pool is opened <br />to the general public, and those that are <br />reserved for the swim team. It appears <br />there are two nights out of a week on which <br />the people of the community have access to <br />the pool after 5:00 P.M.; while the swim <br />team has the pool for most of the week from <br />5:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. Can the hours be <br />changed so that the people of the commun- <br />ity be given more access to the people? <br />Mr. Helart stated the pool was not reserved <br />for the swim team from 5:00 P.M. till 9:00 ~M <br />at any time. The swim team uses the time <br />when the lifeguards are eating from 5:00 P.M. <br />to 6:00 P.M. The remaining nights that the <br />pool is not open during the week is due to <br />the fact that the attendance level does not <br />warrant paying the costs involved. The pool <br />is available Tuesday, Thursday, Satlurday <br />and Sunday and could be open if the demand <br />is there. <br />Councilman Caranci remarked he had read the <br />schedul and it looks as though we have <br />$300,000.00 country club there for a few <br />people. It seems the best time to swim is <br />in the morning and that time is taken up by <br />the swim team, or when we come home at <br />5:00 P.M. it is closed again due to the swim <br />team. My suggestion is that the swim team <br />use the pool from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. and <br />open to the public from 10:00 A.M. till <br />7:00 P.M. <br />Mr. Helart advised Councilman Carance that <br />the morning hours are not for the swim team <br />but for swimming lessons. Our sign-up and <br />demand rate for swimming lessons has been <br />far more than the demand for opening the <br />pool to public swimming in the mornings. <br />The swim team practices twice daily - once <br />in the morning between 7:00 and 8:00 A.M. <br />and in the afternoon between 5:00 and <br />6:00 P.M. The evening hours available for <br />public swimming are Tuesday, Thursday, Sat- <br />urday and Sunday, in addition to Wednesday <br />and Friday as printed on the schedule. .There <br />is no problem with having the pool open <br />during the evening hours, other than the <br />fact that it does not break even. <br />Councilman Caranci stated that the pool is <br />being paid for by the citizens of Louisville <br />by a 3mill levy, and it was his opinion <br />they should be able to use the pool in the <br />morning hours and evening hours.
