DeletSwimming pool numbers have not been finalized for the 2014 season just yet but Escalon Recreation Department staffer Bridget Gaines said the season was definitely successful.The final of three swimming lesson sessions continues through tomorrow, July 31 and wraps up the three two-week offerings.“They were basically full,” Gaines said. “The older the kids get, the smaller the classes but the Level 1, 2 and 3 classes were full.”Students in the pool for the final session had some hot weather, as temperatures peaked this past week in the low 100s, making for some busy afternoons for free swim as well.“They’ve been staying busy over there,” Gaines agreed.She added that the final Mommy and Me class was one of the biggest sessions they have seen for that program. The parent-child class is offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while the traditional swimming lessons run Monday through Thursday.Head swim instructor Casey Pettitt agreed that the lessons have gone over well and said her crew of lifeguards and swim lesson instructors worked well with the kids.“They’ve been going great,” Pettitt said.Mom Tina Godsey said her 5-year-old son Soren was enjoying his Level 2 classes.“He’s been having fun and he has learned a lot this summer,” Godsey said.
