According to a posting on the South Algonquin Township Facebook page on June 23, residents of the villages of Whitney and Madawaska will have access to swimming lessons again this summer, albeit still with restrictions due to COVID-19. From July 5 to July 9, and July 12 to July 16, swimming instructor Jasmine Scott will be teaching swimming to residents interested in upping their swimming game. Carla Gatley, the deputy clerk of South Algonquin township said last year the people that took Scott’s swimming classes really seemed to enjoy them, praised her knowledge and professionalism and said the township was grateful that the program was available to its residents of all ages. In addition to the lessons she teaches in South Algonquin, she also teaches swimming in Bancroft and the surrounding area, and she says she’s had a lot of requests for private lessons at people’s homes and cottages. “We have roughly 35 students signed up for the program in South Algonquin and each class has four to eight students in them.
