No’iv that the good ole summer
time ! is beaming down upon uS,
many; people, young and old, are
taking advantage of the facilities
offered by the P. L. Downs Nata- 1
torium by taking an afternoon dip
in “Pinky’s Pool.” Those who do
not know- how to swim are fast
oecpriling experts under the cap-
ablp, guidance and instructions of
kArt Adamson, physical education
instructor in charge of the pool.
Racked by the Recreation i
Council of College Station, this I
community has one of the most
extensive swimming programs in
the j United States. Classes are
held; for every type of swimmer,
accojrding to age and ability tb
For the beginners there are three
groups with wtuch to receive in
struction; novice, low and high. In
addition to this lessons are givph
to lojijv intermediates, high inter
mediates and a class for advanced
swimjmers. There are two , classes
for women swimmers; the Ladies
class, which; meets .on Monday and
Wednesday at 1 o’clock, and the
I Business Girls class, which meets
Son Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30.;
Every boy and girl is eligible
to- take the course if the parent has
paid (taxes to the city or county.
According to Art, just about every
boy and girl in this area has taken
the course, and every afternoon
the youngsters eagerly await the
opening hours.
A fee of $2 is charged, of which
.$1 goes to the College for the use
of the pool, and $1 is placed ia a
fund! to purchase emblems and
awards.
