So we thought we were going to start right away," Rebecca Redmond-MacLean, president of the Gander Lakers swim club, told CBC Radio's Newfoundland Morning. The Gander swim club has 55 competitive and pre-competitive members. In Corner Brook, about 70 swimmers are hoping to get their feet wet this season. Andrew Burke, president of the Corner Brook Rapids Swim Club, said his group is still waiting on the provincial government's regulations before the pool can open. The Corner Brook Rapids Swim Club has had to travel to Deer Lake to get their laps in.
