The Alida Rec Board members are busy getting the swimming pool ready for the upcoming season. Lifeguards have been hired among our eligible local young people. Swimming lessons have also been scheduled for two weeks in July: week 1 - July 11-15; week 2 - July 25-29 and only one week in August – Aug. 15-19. To register for lessons call 306-452-7098. Hopefully you will enjoy your lessons this year and of course in turn enjoy the swimming pool. You’ll notice a new addition to the pool area this year – a gazebo that will provide excellent shade while at the pool. Appreciation goes out to the Vermilion Energy crew for supplying the labor in building this gazebo on their day of caring. This will be a great asset for everyone at the pool this year.
