The rescue equipment was updated or replaced , to conform with the Ramsey County Health De- partment regulations. Twenty-five percent of the ceilin,i lights were replaced or repaired. The locker rooms • floors, bathroom stalls and shower rooms were repainted . The pool hallway walls and doors were repainted as well . Improvement projects currently underway include tho refinishing of the locker room walls with a highly tex- tured paint, the transferring of the emergency telephone from the guard office to the actual pool room, and the sanding and refinishing of all of the old wooden benches . These improvements have undoubtedly enhanced and made, safer the overall pool environment. D. Pool program advertising • • Two major advertising sources of the seasonal pool 'schedules are the Mounds View Newsletter and the Mounds View CommunityEducation Brochure . Both advertising forms have gone through major changes, to make the information easier for the public to understand. • The format for the Mounds View Newsletter simply lists all swim lesson levels with a brief class description and complete listing of the dates and times that the • class will be held. The Mounds View Community Education Brochure compiles the swimming schedules of Chippewa , Highview and Edgewood pool; and stresses which park and recreation department must be contacted for further ques- • tions and registration procedures.
