Anthony Village Lions Club <br />donation of $450.00 to the New Brighton/St. Anthony aquatic program. <br /> <br />Legislative History: <br />Not Applicable. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />The money will be used to purchase one pool platform for the joint New Brighton/St. Anthony <br />aquatic program. <br /> <br />Explanation: <br />The New Brighton/St. Anthony Aquatics program strives to enhance the quality oflife for its <br />participants. By providing educational aquatic programs we hold a commitment to the <br />communities to ensuring the best possible safety education programs in and around the water. <br />We are thrilled that our Leam-to-Swim program teaches over 1800 students each year. <br /> <br />The Aquatics staff does its best to cater to the different ages and levels of students that take <br />advantage of our aquatics programs. The pool facilities that we utilize are not accommodating <br />for our younger participants. The pools do not have an area where all of the students can reach <br />the bottom. As a result, about one half of our students do not have the optimal experience that <br />we strive to give. An adjustable training platform gives students under 5 feet tall a safe learning <br />environment. <br /> <br />Costs and Funding: <br />Not applicable. <br /> <br /> <br />1:\COUNCILIREPORTS\2007\Parks and RecreationlDonationfromStALions_doc <br />
