Some students simply wade around or play in the 4: M Lk 4 if water, while others, like this swimmer, use the 3.9 'Ag' 1 pool for some vigorous exercise. Dlve right in! cont. Four divisions of classes were taught in the summer: non-swimmers, beginners, intermediate and advanced. The advanced class, water safety instruction, was reviewed by a Red Cross instructor trainer. After classes, the pool was open to faculty and staff and to students with a current ID. Recreation periods were from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. and from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m.-10 p.m. on weekends, except for Wednes- day evenings at 6:00 when the scuba class took over. Robert DeFelice, pool director, tried changing pool rules in order to increase a lower than expected pool attend- ance. During the summer, the pool, which has the capacity to hold 318 swimmers, had an average crowd of 50 swim- mers. It was thought that a possible reason for the low attend- ance was that only students who were registered for the current semester were allowed to swim. This meant that regular full-time students who were not attending summer school were not considered eligible to use the pool. . awp. .. ,. sz:-v .., J ' :' 'lffzfz 1 3? Z .
