<br />SWIMMING POOL HOURS CONT'D <br /> <br />suggestion was that the swim lessons be <br />from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M. <br />to 7:00 P.M. open to the public and from <br />7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. for the swim team. <br />Mr. He1art remarked that if the morning <br />hours were reserved for the public, it <br />would e1eminate some of the swim lessons <br />as they have had to double up because of <br />the demand. <br />Councilman Caranci read from the schedule <br />7:00 - 10:00 A.M. for swim lessons which <br />is 3 hours per day; take the older children <br />at 7:00 and the younger children at 10:00. <br />Mr. He1art replied parental demand was that <br />they didn't want their children down there <br />that early in the morning. He was very <br />reluctant to change the swim lesson hours <br />due to the fact this is one of the highest <br />demand things at the pool. It was his <br />belief that it should be maintained in the <br />morning. <br />Councilman Caranci stated another thing he <br />thought was wrong was that the pool was <br />being closed too early in the season. The <br />pool is being closed August 30th, and it is <br />still warm at least the first two weeks in <br />September. <br />Mr. He1art related this was due to a staff- <br />ing problem. Most generally the staff con- <br />sists of high school, college students and <br />teachers, and all these people go back to <br />school and full-time employment. Since none <br />of the sraff for the pool are permanent <br />employees and must be state certified life- <br />guards he could see no objections to opening <br />the pool on weekends and a trail period of <br />a few nights a week, providing the weather <br />is agreeable and the demand is there. We <br />must look at the cost impact and then report <br />back to see if it is feasible to extend the <br />season. <br />Councilman DiCarlo questioned the schedule - <br />swim team will have its first meeting May <br />22nd; are they going to meet daily until <br />the 31st? <br />Mr. He1art replied they would not as they <br />are still in school. <br />Councilman DiCarlo asked whether they would <br />meet after school? <br />Mr. He1art's reply was possibly between 5 <br />and 6 in the evening. <br />Councilman DiCarlo then suggested it be opene <br />to the public those nine days also. <br />Mr. He1art reported their intention was to <br />open the pool officially May 29th. <br /> <br />-4- <br />
