Aquatic Recreation Centre lowing drop-in swim rates
The Smiths Falls and District Aquatic Recreation Centre has lowered it’s drop-in swim and aquafit fees.
“Our pool is such a great resource,” says board president Kathy Gilligan. “ We want everyone to be able to afford to swim.”
The new rates for residents are $2.50 for children, $3.50 for youth and seniors, $4.50 for adults and $10 for a family. For non-residents, the cost is 50 cents more per person, with a family paying no more than $11.
Montague, Smiths Falls, Merrickville-Wolford and Rideau Lakes all contribute to the operations of the pool. Residents of these areas receive resident pricing for drop in, memberships and lessons but the pool’s goal is to have rates that are competitive and affordable for every swimmer.
The pool has a new management team supported by a staff of guards and instructors. The vision is a community pool with fun programs for everyone. The water is kept at 86F, making it ideal for kids, seniors, people using the pool for therapy and those who simply dislike cold water.
The pool is located on Queen Street in the Gallipeau Centre, and the schedule can be found on the pool’s Facebook page as well as its website. For questions, you can also call the centre at 613-284-5208.
Carleton Place – Linda Seccaspina
Whenever we went for a picnic near a lake as a child, we were told to never go swimming for at least an hour after we ate. According to a parent’s rule (probably thought up by someone in the 14th century) you were going to have cramps and die if you ventured into that water. Each time I heard that particular ridiculous information, all I wanted to do was defy the whole big pile of bunk.
Who started all these myths, and why?
Once a month, on a Sunday, we used to drive down to St. Albans, Vermont for the day. After lunch, like clockwork, the whole “no swimming after eating for an hour” conversation began. I sat there quietly, waited for about 10 minutes, and then told everyone I was going to gather shells by the water. In the distance I heard my mother scream, “Linda, don’t you dare go into that water! ”
Sporting a sinister smile, I knew I was going to defy the laws of nature that day. I would finally prove to the world this myth was wrong. Truth be told, I was a little scared as I inched my toes into the water. Suddenly I was up to my ankles, and immediately felt a huge stomach pang. Maybe they were right I thought, and I quickly backed out of the water. Two inner voices began to advise me on what to do.
One whispered, “Go in!”
The other said, “You’re going to die!”
Ahh, to heck with it, and with that, I ran in the water untill it was up to my knees. Suddenly there was a huge commotion, and people were running towards me. Good old Vermont 911 rescue was on the way to save a young boy that was just inches away from me, screaming in the water.
The roar of noisy moving water, and my mother having a cow on shore, brought me in pretty darn quickly. The boy was carried out immediately and people were saying it was probably because he went in swimming right after eating. There was my mother, arms akimbo, with a stern look on her face and said,
“You see what happens if you go swimming after you eat?”
Well, according to Snopes, I am debunking this myth right now. You will not die if you go swimming right after lunch. You might throw up, but you won’t die. Now, maybe those egg salad sandwiches that fermented on the two hour drive down there in the 90 degree weather might have killed us all, but it was definitely not the darn water.
Always remember there will be times in your life when things defy logic and seem crazy. When that happens, listen to your instincts and ignore everyone and everything else — except for those warm egg salad sandwiches served for lunch on a picnic table at high noon. Now that is an immediate death waiting to happen.
HUB pool closes, reopens under new name and operators
April Scott-Clarke – Smiths Falls
The Hub pool is no longer. The facility has reopened under the name Smiths Falls & District Aquatic Recreation Centre (ARC). An email sent to members indicted that Hub memberships will be honoured by ARC.
Operations will continue as before with members and patrons still having access to the same programming.
The email stated, “you will see changes along the way with our efforts to improve all aspects of the operation. This is a new beginning for our Community Pool and we fully anticipate great support from our municipalities and the community in general through fundraisers, sponsorships and advertising. We begin this journey as a “Debt Free” establishment and fully intend to do our best to keep it that way.”
ARC is also a registered non-profit organization.
The centre was contacted but nobody from the board was available for an interview. Check back as we learn more about the new community pool.
