Wheeler A Gilliam counties $12 elsewhere David and April Sykes, Publishers Letters to the Editor Summer activities for kids To the editor I often hear people in Heppner say there is so little for kids to do especially in the summer Actually there are several good programs offered to keep kids busy and off the streets including Vacation Bible Schools, tattle league, swimming lessonh. summer camps, and Swim Team Sadly. the community is not taking full advantage of these programs I am especially speaking of Swim Team Without support and partici pation the Heppner Swim Team will cease to exist Swim Team is a non profit com petitive swimming program for young people aged five through 18 Throughout the year swim team parents work on fund raising pro yets and plan for the summer swim season The parents hire a coach who works full lime from early June through mid August teaching team members the four competition strokes diving, turns, and building and improving skills Anyone inter ested in age group competitive swimming is welcome to partici pate There are two practice sessions a day one hour in the morning and one nour in the evening Swimmers are invited to compete at meets in other eastern Oregon communities on the weekends as well as smaller dual meets on weekn ghts. some of which are held in Heppner It is the individual's choice as to which and how many meets he she attends A swimmer who participates only by attending practice and local meets still reaps many benefits such as regular exercise, swimming skill, and making new friends The coat of membership in Swim Team is only $6 25 which includes insurance coverage at all swim meets and practices The city also requires swim team members to purchase season swim passes The only other cost is 75 cents per event entry fees at out of town Invitational meets Don't let the Heppner Swim Team fadeaway get involved swimming is fun and healthy For more information call Lottie Laughlm. coach at 876 *781 Heppner Swim Team Parents Nancy Bruch.
