-[E--eEp 6D awyryeit g W 2m 'xi | gi Resents being charged for swim Dear Sir: I think that most people in this community gave gladly to the YMCA when it was being constructed. I was appalled last Monday when a Recreational Swim of 45 minutes duration for myself and my two year old child cost $4. The original idea of the YMCA being a community service is lost when the prices are such that the average worker cannot afford them. I resent being forced into buying a membership which I neither want or need for the occasional time that we come swimming. Has the YMCA turned into an exclusive club for business people, or is it a facility for the general public to enjoy?
