The facility would be enable swimming to be taught to <br />children and adults. A LIFE SAVING skill I <br />3. The high school could offer another sport for both girls and <br />boys. <br />4. Look at the program at the Chapel Hill's Recreation Center. <br />They even have a program for people suffering from arthritis 1 <br />Family swimming,senior citizen swimming,high school swim <br />team._pr_acti_c-pr name--a-few- <br />
