Dreaming of Swimming...

I am not sure why February makes me long for swimming but with finally getting some snow up here my brain is thinking that a lovely warm blue lake is where I would really like to spend the day.  So here are some lake pictures...

The Needler-Robinson family in August 1918 and watching from shore was aunt Sara Helena Needler

In the 1920s, Mary Maud Needler Robinson and a friend swam off their dock at the bottom of 3rd Street.

In the 1940s the kids were all having a great time.

Liz, John and Dawn were joined by friends in the summer of 1947 at the Upper Warf.

In 1948, they were relaxing and listening to records on the Hopkins dock.

In 1949, the little kids were all swimming at the bottom of 3rd Street.

By 1951, the girls were all swimming at the public dock...

and in 1955, the boys were messing about with motor boats...

Later in the 1950s...

and

By the late-1970s...

and into the 1980s...

and on the dock at Culzean in 1987...

and

and in 1991 at the Public Dock with the canoes...

and on a very warm Victoria Day Weekend in 2010

Our Canada Day display this year will focus on Sturgeon Point on the water.  Please send us your pictures.
