Councilman Kinney stated he was optimistic with the projections of the Recrea- tion Department with regard to the aquatic program, however, in light of the energy crisis, a realistic approach must be determined as to whether or not to provide a year-round swim program.

Councilman Herlihy stated that choosing to cover the pool for year-round use should be a recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission, and that he personally felt that natural resources could be put to better use than heating pools.
