**IMPORTANT**  There are going to be some major changes this year to swimming lessons due to the many requests and staffing.  We will be having the first set of lessons in June for 2 weeks and 3 sets during July and August which will be one week long only. 

The week long lessons will mean slightly longer times for lessons and shorter public swimming times those weeks.  Please bear with us as we make these changes we hope they will be a benefit to all.

1st Set: June 13-17& 20-24.  Lessons will be after schools and times will be decided once registrations are in. There will be no public swimming during the week for these two weeks.
2nd Set: July 25-29
3rd Set:  Aug 8 -12
4th Set: Aug 15-19

Space is limited so register early.
**If you did not receive a registration form they can be picked up at the rec office, emailed, faxed or mailed out.

Parent Water Safety
Why is Swimming Important?

How Can Parents Prevent Accidents?
~Enroll children in swim lessons
~Use CSA-approved life jackets
~Make sure children aged five and under are at least an arm's length away or less
~Continuously watch all of your children, no matter what age
Facts that Parents May Not Know
~Shallow water is the most common area for drowning, especially in water that is three feet deep or less

Remember
The lifeguard's duty is to prevent accidents from happening. They are responsible for the overall safety of the facility “you” are responsible for your child's safety.
