SWIM PROGRAM after Commissioner Whipple moved that the following swim program as re- September 1st commended by the city manager be adopted as of September 1st: MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR & BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS SUBJECT: SWIM PROGRAM AFTER SEPTEMBER 1st AUGUST 15. 1947 Pat Diskin, Swimming Pool Director, has submitted a memo to the writer relative to the use of the City Pool for the Grade and High School physical-ed program after school starts, September 1st. Program is outlined as follows: School Rate - 10¢ per person or $1.00 for 20 school days in September. 1) With one-hour periods commencing in the High School this year, the coordinating of the school physical-ed program with the city swimming pools, seems highly desirable; 2) We understand that shower and toilet facilities for both boys and girls at the High School will not be available until late in the fall so it would seem that a swimming program for part of this period would be desirable; 3) Allowing 20 min. to go and return from the school, ten min. to change; allowing a total of 30 min. for swimming in each class; 4) All classes will be supervised by qualified life-guards and instruction for beginning swimmers will be given; 5) It is hoped that our Grammar Schools of the city and the High School as well, will take part in this program during the month of September. If the above program is agreeable to the Board, the writer will so inform the School Superintendent so that plans can be made to conduct the physical education classes at the city pool. This seems a very desirable way to keep the pools in operation after school starts, during the daytime giving the youngsters a chance to swim at the reduced school rate. The children will already have their swimming out of the way by 4:00 each afternoon; the pools can ten be kept open until about 10:00 for adult swimming. Your favorable consideration of this recommendation is urged. Respectfully submitted, /s/ T. E. Fennessy__________ T. E.
