ACCPAC ? REALISTICALLY STARTING FROM Leaping from the cool refreshing water at Lion‘s Community Pool is Sabrina Nicosia. Oakville‘s five outdoor pools, plus the 1.8â€"acre pool at Bronte Creek Provincial Park, offer quick relief from summer heatwaves. However, swimmers and parents of young children are to be mindful of the pools‘ safety rules.

The sweat is pouring off your face; your Tâ€"shirt is sticking to your back; the air conditioning in your car isn‘t working; you get home and all you can think of is a jump into that cool inviting backyard pool. But, if you don‘t have a backyard pool, you head straight for the neighborhood public pool, pay your admission, and join the crowd. Yes, the pools have been busy this past week as the temperatures hovered around 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. And, it‘s warming up again ... 8 Hot and bothered, people are taking advantage of Oakville‘s six outdoor pools â€" five run by the Town of Oakville and the big one at Bronte Creek Provincial Park. This pool is open seven days a week â€" weekdays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends and statutory holidays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is $2 adults and $1.25 youth (5 to 16). There are also group rates: $1.50 each for groups of 10 or more adults; and $1 each for 10 or more youth. (These rates do not include park admission, paid sepaâ€" rately upon entering the park.) On hot days, this pool is filled to capacity, as are the five outdoor pools run by the Town of Oakville. They are Falgarwood, Wedgewood, Lion‘s Community, Brookdale and Bronte. All of them have afternoon and evening public swims, and are open to 8:30 p.m. Swimming schedules are postâ€" ed at each pools, and swimmers are encouraged to check when they can swim. â€" Admission to all nine Town of Oakville pools is $1.50 per person, toddler to 65 â€" seniors are admitted free. POOL SAFETY TIPS All of these pools have lifeguards, however, there are a few safety rules to be remembered, such as no running, pushing, and no diving into the shallow end. These safety rules include: * Always swim with a buddy. Never swim alone. * Any medical problems must be reported to the pool supervisor. * Children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult. "Don‘t treat the lifeguard as a babysitter," says the Royal Life Saving Society Canada. "Children under 10 should be accompanied by a parent or an adult over 16." Bronte Creek Provincial Park, on Burloak Road just north of the QEW, has the ‘grand pool,‘ 1.8 acres of clear blue refreshment measuring six feet deep in the middle. The Town‘s four indoor pools, Centennial, Glen Abbey, Queen Elizabeth Park and White Oaks, are also open with afternoon and evening public swims. And, mothers taking groups of small children, some of them nonâ€"swimmers, should bring a lifejacket or PFDs (personal floatation devices) for these children and stay in the water with them.. Young children, especially those aged 1 to 4, are at the greatest risk of drowning, says the Canadian Red Cross Society. Of this number, 69% were alone at the time of drowning, and 24% are accompanied only by other children. For backyard pools, of which Oakville has plenty, the Red Cross recommends: Please join us for an informative evening hosted by Peter Lambert, Paul Stewart and Karl Zimmerman, three leading Financial Advisors with Midland Walwyn, Canada‘s largest investment firm serving the individual investor.

RSVP "The majority of spinal injuries occur while diving into water less than 5 ft deep, and on the victim‘s first dive. In most cases, neither the victim nor the pool owner recognized diving as a risky activity." * Give children playing in the pool your undivided attention. Let the phone ring, leave the laundry, put off lunch and postpone chores â€" never allow toddlers and children to play in or around water alone, even if older children are eager to help you supervise. Pool supervision should be left with a responsible adult.

Have clearly marked pool depths and unsafe diving areas, with a floatâ€" ing safety line separating deep and shallow water. "One out of every three accidents happens in backâ€" yard pools," states a Red Cross pamphlet on pool safety. "Almost all victims are young men aged 15 to 25 who were visiting. Make sure the pool has the following safety equipâ€" ment poolside: * A nonâ€"metal reaching pole. * Throwing line with buoy ring * A first aid kit. * A telephone with emergency numbers, address and telephone number.
