For anyone yearning for a warm, humid and wet place to spend some time through the dead of winter likely the best place to do this in Red Deer would have to be one of the City of Red Deer pools. For swimming instructor Latasha Smith it comes with the job description and for Zachary Burnett, 6, of Red Deer the twice a week lessons at the Recreation Centre gets him out of the freezing winter outside and into the tropical like setting of warm air and fun in the water inside at the Recreation Centre. The Collicutt Centre and the Michener Centre pools also offers swimming lessons and public swim times.
