Free swimming days offered again in summer of 2013
By Mark Schadenberg
Lions Pool is more than 60 years old and has obviously
become part of Woodstock tradition.
Built by the Lions Club in 1946 for Woodstock youth, but
later purchased by the city (1965 seems to be the year most agree on), Lions
Pool is on Vansittart Avenue and continues to be a popular outdoor pool
locally.
Combined with the indoor Southside Aquatics Centre on
Finkle Street and on the edge of Southside Park, Woodstock has two swimming
destinations. Lessons are offered at both locations and there’s even a summer
swim team at Lions Pool.
Call 421-POOL or 539-4601 for more details, or flip
through the summer What’s On Woodstock magazine which has already been distributed
through the Oxford Shopping News.
Southside Pool also includes the Spray N Play water park
for hot days and cool refreshment for children.
If your children seek a summer camp, call 421-POOL (7665)
as the pool is also the headquarters for other summertime activities.
FREE SWIMMING
Over the past few summers, the good folks at Tim Hortons
have sponsored free swimming days in Woodstock. Be sure to look at the dates
and times posted below.
