Summer starts Thursday for Vance schoolchildren. Still looking for a fun activity for the kids? There’s always the Vance Aquatics Club, which holds an unusual Friday practice from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the Aycock Recreation Complex. The team is always open to new swimmers ages 5 to 18. Come out and try a few laps. Practices will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings starting May 31. The first Durham Summer Swim League match is Saturday morning, June 4. The other four are on Wednesday evenings.
