             University Outdoor Pool to open this weekend
     
     The University Outdoor Pool opens for business this
weekend on Saturday, May 24.
     Located behind the Gold Ice Arena, the 50-meter
facility is the largest pool in the state. It is equipped
with a diving well and two diving boards. New this year is a
baby pool, perfect for younger children who are happy just
to wade.
     This summer, the Outdoor Pool will run three sessions
of parent/tot, pre-school, beginner, advanced beginner,
intermediate and advanced swimming lessons. Aquacize, a low-
impact water aerobic class, also will be offered for three
sessions. In addition, the UD Blue Fish, the summer swim
team, will once again train and compete throughout the
summer. Swimming lessons, aquacize and the swim team are
open to pool members only.
     Membership for a family of four is $175, with an
additional $10 charge for each additional family member.
Individual memberships are $90. UD employees receive a $10
discount off individual memberships and a $25 discount off
family memberships. UD full-time students can enter the pool
free of charge.
