Weaving Their Way to an A. Wednesday, January 25 marks the first session of a new course offered by the recreation department entitled ‘Underwater Basketweaving.’ The course will be taught at the Canyon View Pool Center by Stephanie Litvak,… The first day of class, students will weave in the pool, but all weaving thereafter will be done in the Jacuzzi.
