Learn-to-Fence Programs Children, youth and adults have a unique opportunity to learn the sport of fencing this spring, with the help of Trent University's Varsity Fencing Team. An eight-week learn-to-fence program is being offered at the PSB Wilson Athletic Complex, to introduce participants to the sport of fencing, including basic moves, footwork, techniques and rules of the blades. Participants will also learn about the history of this French martial art, and the terminology involved. All activities include a strong emphasis on personal and group safety, and are designed to develop coordination, balance, problem solving skills and fair play. Three introductory programs are available: A children's program (for children 9-11 years) will operate Tuesday evenings from 6 – 6:50 p.m., a youth program (for youth 12 – 15 years) will operate Tuesday evenings from 7 – 7:50 p.m., and an adult program (for participants 16 years and above) will be offered Wednesday evenings from 6:15 – 7:05 p.m. A club program for previous participants in the program is also being offered on Wednesday evenings. To register for the learn-to-fence program, visit the Athletic Department Office at the PSB Wilson Athletic Complex or call 748-1257. Spring Swimming Lessons Registration continues for the spring session of swimming lessons at Trent University's Allan Marshall Pool, and spaces are still available in some programs.
