Moving Onto Building a Successful Program
We have passed the first hurdle with the acceptance of a 6 lane pool design. Now the heavy lifting starts. We have laid the foundation of our region swim club with 3 directors and a club name: Parry Sound Nation. The name is intended to capture and be inclusive of the diversity of the 7 municipalities and 2 First Nations that co-operated to win grants for the complex.
