Let’s face it, whether it’s verbal or non-verbal - communication isn’t optional.

Highland dancing is one of the oldest forms of folklore dancing with its powerful and graceful footwork, strength of upper body to control posture with integral arm, hand and head movement. The dances also provide great coordination and muscle development. The Kimberley Cranbrook Highland Dance Association is very proud of our schools and its dedicated teachers with an emphasis on offering the highest level of technical training within a fun and creative atmosphere. The main focus of the schools is preparation for competitive or recreational dancing, choreography and examinations to a wide range of dancers from age 3 years to adult.Both of our teachers are certified through the B.A.T.D. and ScotDance Canada. Miss Hali is also a Registered Kinesiologist and Personal Trainer offering weekly strength and conditioning classes. We offer weekly lessons in Kimberley and Cranbrook.

Deep H2O AquAfit Deep-water training provides a unique and open environment free from gravity and impact. Classes will incorporate cardiovascular and muscle conditioning exercises. This is a challenging workout for both skilled and unskilled aquatic fitness participants.

JOint MObility Helps to relieve pain, maintain or increase range of motion, strengthen weak muscles and improve circulation. This class is for those seeking injury rehabilitation, arthritis joint therapy or those wishing to improve their strength and range of motion.

SeniOr “fun”ctiOnAl fitneSS Using a variety of equipment, participate in exercises designed to aid the aging population in improving function and completing their daily living activities. You may choose to swim laps, participate in the class, relax in the hot tub, sauna or steam room, or choose your own activities in the deep end or wave pool.

SHAllOw/trAnSitiOnAl AquAfit Shallow water aquafit has the benefit of providing excellent cardio, strength and flexibility training. The option to work at a transitional depth (neck deep with or without a buoyancy belt), provides participants who experience lower body joint issues to participate and improve in all weight bearing activities. Suitable for everyone. SpOrt cOnDitiOning Every class is a mixed bag of sport specific activities. Circuit work and interval training will be incorporated to deliver a challenging workout. Aquatic steps, fins, balls, noodles, kickers and cuffs, paddles, tethers and dumbbells may be used to increase intensity of a workout. The focus is to strengthen the weak musculature while providing challenging cardio. This is neither specific to shallow or deep water. Instructors will determine at the time of the class which areas will be used. Participants must be skilled Aquafit participants or athletic persons wanting to cross train. Shoes must be worn.

Details

ADult lApS AnD liMiteD uSe Full use of the hot tub, steam room and sauna. At least one lane of the main pool available to the public for laps.

public SwiM All facilities will be open including the diving board, sauna, steam room, hot tub, wave pool, bubble pit, raindrop, rope swing and slide. There will usually be a minimum of two lanes open for lane swimming.

Pool Schedule Descriptions

Fitness Class Descriptions

Exercise is linked to people’s attitude, health and over all well- being.

pOOl For everyone’s safety and health, please use dedicated deck shoes or bare feet while walking from the change rooms to poolside. To maintain clear water conditions and to keep the water filter system working optimally, please have a cleansing shower bEforE entering the pools. Children in diapers must wear an approved swim diaper with a tight fitting swim suit or plastic diaper cover. For your convenience, we sell disposable and Gabby’s reusable swim diapers at the front desk.Children under seven years of age must be within arms reach of a parent or guardian sixteen years of age or older at all times. There is a maximum ratio of one parent or guardian to three children under the age of seven. Although our public swim often runs for a continuous block of time, it is advised that children take a break after a maximum of two hours in the pool to rest and rehydrate.

wAterSliDe The BCSA and the Safety Code for Amusement Rides and Devices Act have implemented regulations for the use of our waterslide.

• A child must be 42” tall to ride the waterslide. • No double sliding will be permitted at all - including parents and small children.

Viewing Deck The viewing deck is an area for individuals who want to watch the pool activities. It is a great place to read or visit with a friend while your kids are swimming. This is the only location on the poolside where health standards allow street clothing and shoes. Please be advised that No food is allowed in this area but there are seats and tables in the lobby. Please do not use the viewing deck as an entrance or exit to the pool, or as an area to change your children. For the safety of all our visitors, camera and video use is restricted and requires supervision by staff. Please ask one of our staff before using a camera.

cHAnge rOOM Parents changing children over five years of age of the opposite gender must use the family change room. Please do not leave your belongings in the family change rooms while you are swimming. It is strongly advised to lock up all belongings. There are lockers available for 25 cents. It is prohibited to eat or drink in any of the change rooms.

why wear shoes? Aquatic shoes provide the wearer with more stability and traction for an upright stance when moving through the water. They reduce the effects of impact when jumping in shallow water and add resistance in deep and shallow water, thereby further helping build strength. They help to prevent accidental slips on the deck and in the pool. They also help protect the feet from infection and protect the joints from impact. What kind of shoes can you wear? Old trainers (as long as they are clean!), surf walkers, sport sandals, or specific shoes made for aquatic fitness. Ask any of our aquafit instructors where to buy these types of shoes, they will be happy to assist you!

I have been a lifeguard and swimming instructor for almost 16 years. There are many different aspects to enjoy about being a lifeguard and instructor. Watching swimmers grow in their abilities and become more confident in the water, teaching safety around water, meeting new people of all different ages and being a contrib-uting factor to a great team are some of the reasons I’ve been doing this so long. Over the years I have worked with a ton of great people at multiple facilities and have loved every minute of it. Seeing a swimmer finally get how to float, put their face in or do a stroke perfectly makes an instructor want to celebrate with them. As a lifeguard, I feel that I am contributing to the community by ensuring patrons stay safe while using the facility. This truly is a great job to have.
