SPRING BREAK - COME AND PLAY!

HELP PREVENT A POOL FOULINGAll children not toilet trained must wear an article of clothing that will keep fecal matter contained in the event of a fouling. A pool fouling will cause a closure of our pools anywhere from 1 - 24 hours. Health authorities enforce this regulation. We suggest you use plastic pants or Little Swimmers pool pant diapers. Little Swimmers are available for purchase at the front desk and most major retailers. Please note that standard cloth or plastic diapers will not contain fecal matter and are therefore not permitted in the pool. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.

sKIDS ICE PROGRAMS

A sport for all seasons, ice skating is a great way to get exercise, meet people and have fun. To learn the basics of skating, it is important to start out on the right “foot” by taking a few lessons. On-ice instruction prevents the develop-ment of bad habits, improves confidence and helps to master the basic tech-niques. Learning to skate also develops coordination, poise and good posture. Getting started takes only a little knowledge and plenty of enthusiasm!

RESTORATIVE YOGARelaxation is considered one of the most important aspects of Yoga. We don’t have to be active for something to happen. Our body holds tension in our muscles and we are not even aware of it; by using our breath and softening into longer, supported pos-ture (Asanas), we facilitate our bodies ability to open and release on its own. Ideal for those recovering from injury or illness.---------------------------------------------------------------Aquatic Centre Wave RoomThursday Instructor - Akiko Shima
