Monday marked the last meeting for the outgoing Mayor and City Council,  but that did not stop them from getting work done.

Council passed a motion which regulates what swimmers at Norplex Pool can wear. John Burrows, Director of Recreation, Parks, and Culture explained why the change was made.

"There are always questions from patrons about what they can wear and what they can't wear.  This specifies what is permissable and clears up the grey area for everyone."

In determining what type of swim wear was approved and which was not, it was stated that bathing suits and clothing with lycra were acceptable.   Cut-off jeans and cotton T-shirts were those items not approved because they become heavy when soaked with water.  This could present a drowning hazard for a swimmer and the lifeguard who attempts to rescue them if they get in trouble.

Swim diapers are also a must for babies and young children who are still in diapers.
