Lana's Leisure Lines
"The promise of an amazing summer is again upon us. I think everyone is looking forward to sunshine, open spaces, and fun things to do.
The rising prices of gas and food has some people rethinking their summer plans – shorter road trips and visiting beaches that are closer than further away.
While I’m here at the Sportsplex to tell you that we will be here all summer and welcome you to come work out, swim, and shoot some hoops when you need to escape the summer heat – but there are also lots of free opportunities for summer enjoyment that are not far and won’t break the bank to get there.
I want to take the opportunity to promote the benefits of the great outdoors! There are a lot of options as well that aren’t the ones that most think about, like Point Pleasant Park and Rainbow Haven Beach. Laurie Provincial Park is a great picnic park and not far down from there is Oakfield Provincial Park. Both have nice walking trails and offer a calming presence of nature not far from the city. York Redoubt National Park is close to Herring Cove and it’s a great place for exploring. Even sitting on the grass at Citadel Hill is a great change of pace to relax, watch the clouds or the people go by. The Halifax Public Gardens is also a nice way to spend an afternoon strolling and admiring the ducks and gardens. Dig out your bikes and take the Rails to Trails to Lawrencetown Beach for a day trip with a packed lunch.
Enjoy and experience what the great outdoors has to offer."
-Lana McMullen, Director of Programs & Services.

And while you're here to swim,
get to know Bronwyn Andrews!
|
|
|
Bronwyn Andrews is a Human Resource professional, surfer, and free diver in Halifax who started her career as a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor at the Sportsplex at 16.
"Lifeguarding taught me confidence, how to take charge of a situation, and how to stay calm in an emergency, which are all skills I've carried into my working and personal life.”
Teaching swimming lessons was a joy for Bronwyn, and she still misses it to this day. Being a swimming instructor taught her how to talk to children and allowed her to meet wonderful people who she still counts among her friends.
“I would strongly recommend lifeguarding to anyone with a passion for the water and a desire to better yourself.”
