Crockett receives full marks for diving!
Crockett went to the Pan Am pool for a dip the other day. He’s definitely not afraid of heights! He loved being on the 10m platform! The Pan Am pool is home of the Aquatic Hall of Fame and Museum of Canada.

In 1967, Winnipeg first hosted the Pan-Am Games (it did so again in 1999). The jewel of the games was the Pan-Am Pool, which now houses the Aquatic Hall of Fame and Museum of Canada. The pool complex covers an area of more than 13 acres and the museum includes items dating back to over 5,000 years including a Pre-Columbian merman, a 1st Century B.C. Greco-Roman Strigil, copies of Olympic medals of 240 A.D. to recent ones of Canadians Sasa (Alex) Baumann and Sylvie Bernier. Artifacts, memorabilia, oil painting and poster displays are worth millions of dollars. The Aquatic Hall of Fame pays tribute to competitors in swimming, diving, water polo and synchronized swimming. It also houses the famous Cutty Sark collection.

Crockett saw snow after all!
Well, Crockett is leaving for Michigan tomorrow and we didn’t think he would see the snow! Right now the white stuff is falling heavy and wet! The students have written journal entries that will be in the binder about our weather here in Winnipeg. We definitely have 4 seasons! Hot summers, unpredictable falls, cold winters (we know what -40°C feels like) and a much-anticipated spring! We are getting Crockett back in May, so I hope it has warmed up by then! Last year we got snow on May 19th!

Good bye Crockett! Have a safe trip!
